considering a pair of 12's - RSDC - need a little help

Post by NewOldStock »

I know that the RSDC 10 is supposed to be excellent at .70cu/ft sealed.

but I am considering stepping up to a pair of RSDC 12 instead, just tossing around the idea, seeing if they would fit.

My question is - how much airspace does an RSDC 12 REALLY need? According to the manual, the 10 needs .30 - but its known to really sound better at .70... whats the real amount for a 12?

If I am careful, I might be able to squeeze a little more airspace in my install.

lol, ya, that will work! the difference is .08cf!
sealed boxes are pretty forgiving for anything + or - %30

hmm... I might be able to squeeze out 1.0, maybe a touch more if I run the sub inverted.

damn, the search for 10's continues. I REALLY wish I would have looked before agreeing to sell mine. figured "eh, I dont even have the car yet"

You could also wait a month or so. The new Ti line should release by then and supposedly the specs will be similar. Would imagine so will the price range also.

maybe...that rsdc is about $100 off msrp. its actually 3 dollars off dealer cost. the new ti's will probably be priced fair, but finding em below dealer cost might be tough
