VS a normal RSD 12

Post by **fuzzysnuggleduck** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:38 pm

Looks nice.

Now we need the review.

Post by **stipud** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:41 pm

When do I get one?

Maybe I should get a 12... I have a spare 12 box lying around. That would give me 3 options...
RSD10
2xRSD12
or 1xRSDc12

Wonder which sounds best.

Fark that thing looks substantially beefier though. ESPECIALLY the surround... which looks almost exactly like the IDMax.

i actually didn't even realize i was getting mine already.

i don't know if I'm going 10 or 12 yet. I'm going to try and build a box for it this weekend and do a bake off.

the 10 would fit in my car better, but i think i will really miss the extra octave of a 12

the surround is very misleading. it actually reaches xmax in the spider long before the surround (from what i can tell by pushing the cone up)

that could be because its not broken in at all and the spider is quite hefty.

the cone is noticeably thinker and MUCH more ridged, and the cone area is a 1/4 inch wider on the RSDc

hopefully you will get some kind of review by Monday

Nice to see they actually came through with that beast. I'm gonna have to try one soon.

It's always fun to unpack cool new toys fresh off the delivery truck. That's one thing I really miss about my last job.

nice......cant wait for the reveiw as well

Post by **Bfowler** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 1:16 pm

just for you mac.

honestly , the boot looks pretty good. you can't tell from pics because of the flash, but the boot color matches pretty well

Mackenzie · Post by **Mackenzie** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 3:30 pm

To be honest.. Other than the surround, it doesnt look that much bigger than the rsd.. Looks about the same as the octane zr in sheer size, and looks of the basket that is..

It's not the size, it's how you use it

Post by **Bfowler** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 3:48 pm

here are some more VS pics for you mac.

its not that much bigger, but everthing about it beefier. the spider is quite a bit more hefty, the frame is a cast frame instead of stamped. the souround is thicker. The cone is MUCH thicker and stronger. the leads are woven in (tinsel slap is Impossable) the pole vent on the back has more then 2x the diamieter, the voice coil looks to be about 1/2inch larger.

i can't wait to do some building this weekend

How much power do you have to throw at it? Put some real power on those things, and let us know..
