12 rsdc in sealed box less than 1 cubic ft. Is this right?

Post by gentlejax2 »

somehow I missed how wonderful the rsdc subs were until talking to Bfowler today...I am a little peeved I missed them when they were being cleared out but I can still get one off ebay.

just need to verify that it will work well in a .75 box sealed and I will have around 800rms to go with it...depending on how I load the amp....something like that..I dont recall exact output now but it will be plenty

i like them bigger, right around 1.25, tom likes them around 1.


i wouldnt go much smaller then that. the small box will help them handle more power, but a bigger one will let them play lower on the same power

Here is a link with some discussion about box sizing with these subs.

yeah that is where I got the figure from:


For SQ 1.17 cu ft, for SPL 0.72 cu ft, woofer displacement 0.13 cu ft


but I wanted to make sure that was a good figure based on others results.

I didnt need a sub when these were released so I never looked at them till now....this is just what i need to get what I dont have now.

I was also running a JBL Power 10 which is closer to a 12 ....so I think the RSDc 12 will be perfect.. and not take up a ton of room
