good LORD these RSDC hit hard
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:24 pm
finally have the camaro about 90% done - still need to finish up the trim pieces, hide some wires in the trunk and tune it... its close, sounds good at low volumes but at high volumes it just becomes noise, I need to play with the phase... though the frequency response is nearly dead flat, with just a small dip around 500hz.
I have come to hate tuning...
at any rate, here is the setup:
Head: Pioneer P3200BT DVD player
Wires: KnuKonceptz wire (power, speaker, RCA)
Fronts: Precision Power 356cs
Subs: (2) RSDC102 in .71 net cubic feet each (need to make that slightly smaller, but for now - holy sh*t)
Amp: Roadster66 #11 (bridged to the fronts, 2-ohm load to the subs.
gains are set at about 1/3 on both fronts and sub channels... and none of the speakers have had any real amount of break-in time.
I have the mids crossed over at 80hz and have been really impressed with the midbass out of these things... but mostly, I am just stunned by the sheer output of the RSDC subs (crossed over at 63hz). I literally scared myself with the Alicia Keys song "No One". The roadster puts out a rated 600w to the sub channel, running two RSDC at 4-ohms each for a 2-ohm load I am getting about 300w (rated) per sub, about 150w per VC... and at half volume, it was shockingly loud. I have to imagine that if I actually turned the gains up to just before clipping, I might not be here tonight to write this post... what the hell do you guys that run 1kw+ to multiples of these things think your doing... thats just insanity. I thought the Fosgate P3 in a ported enclosure in my pickup was loud, but good lord these are insane, I cant imagine how loud they are going to be after they break in.
for those that have used them, I was thinking around .55 - .60 net. I am worried it will limit low-end extension but maybe clean them up a little and make them tighter? opinions/info would be appreciated.
