Resonant Engineering RE 12"

This review will be updated as I progress.

I got the sub in this week from Marshall, quick shipper!

Anyhow I got it out of the box and had a look. The sub looks realy nice for $77. It appears to be built nice and solid. I do not see excess glue all over the place like I did with my Elemental Designs sub. One thing I noted is the size of the tinsel lead. It seems rather large and stiff for this type of sub....

More to come.

THis sub will be tested in a 1.5 cubed tuned to 28 Hz and its reccomended 1 cubed sealed enclosure. The sealed will probably be the used enclsure. THis will be going in a Chrysler Cirrus of a friends.

Yea Marshall's awesome..you'll get nothin but great customer service from him..I'm sure you'll enjoy the sub. I'm interested to see how it sounds sealed vs. ported.

Well sub #1 is complete.

The sub is in a 1.075 Cubic foot sealed enclosure. This box/sub combo will be used in a van with 200 WRMS going to it. Im sure it will be more than adequate.

The box is sealed very well except for the terminal cup. Im having a hard time getting it to seal properly. The buyer specified I must have one, I usually dont use them for this reason!

I dont happen to have exact measurements on hand, but the raised section is 4" off the floor (when put up properly). I believe the square on the inside is 13x13X 12 but will check into it for thoose asking.

Thats just too thin and too cheap for any subwoofer box... No reason to skimp a box just because you don't think the woofer is capable, the RE should be loud enough to require .75" MDF... i mean hell, might as well have went with a prefab cheapy :P
