Get elites, or wait for rsdcs

Post by Mackenzie »

I cant make up my mind what I should do for the new and upcoming setup. Wait for the rsdcs to come out and get them, or pic up some 12 elites? Its getting hard not to purchase them seeing the prices they are going for these days :lol: Decisions decisions.. Plus the wow factor you get from having the beastly elites.. hmm

The Elites are great but really inefficient. Judging from how loud I know you like it, the RSDs should be more up your alley.... unless you have an endless supply of power.

I agree with Tom, it depends on how much power you're willing to throw at the subs.

I don't have experience with either (duh on the RSdC) but from what I've heard the Elites are hungry monsters and you don't want to be under powering them. I suspect the RSdC are much more like the RSD in the efficiency scale and thus, they would require substantially less power to drive them hard enough.

I have heard the elites, not the rsdcs though. Power will not be a problem. I will probably grab a bunch of 1200.1 rsds, plus I can build a loud box with aero ports to make up for the lack of efficiency anyways.. The only thing that bugs me about the rsdcs is that they dont have the wow factor of a super sub, aswell as the lowend that the elites offer. Atleast thats what the graphs show. They just seem basic looking, plus the elites can handle more power.. hmm
