Hey guys I have only heard of SS once and I have just ran across their Sound Splinter RL-s12. Said to have insane output and the lowest distortion on the market. Anyone have any input or comments on this thing? Anything to compare to my hopeful 12" Tumult?

 

seight....this thing is INSANE. definately a high quality driver that will work in a car or for home theater. I just ordered 2 SS rl-p's for my cutlass and 2 rl-s's for my home theater.. i will let you know what i think but i have heard these before and they are certainly unparalleled

 

Really, wow im excited to hear one of these bad boys. Any input on how it stands next to a Tumult? Your going to have 2 of those for a home theater set-up? If they are as insane as your making them sound... Whats the need for two?

 

haha....i've always been the type for overkill!!! I've never actually heard a tumult so i can't honestly give an opinion.

 

just a quick look at the specs lets you know that the ss has a longer excursion than the Tumult.

 

are they spl or sq subs?.I never heard of them.

 

Both are SQL...

I seen SS said that 6 cu. is recommended if you have the space for a 12". You'll need 12 cu foot box. Thats big, like a coffin big.

 

I'll be putting each RL-s in its own box, all custom made by me of course.......they will be strategicly placed away from my 62" Lcd for obvious reasons.

 

LOL, what kind of LCD do you have? I used to sell tv's too so I have a passion for them almost as much as Car Stuff.
