yup, i was one of the guys who told you to get comps first! sorry man, that sucks about the re prices.


hey matt, member of the week huh?

I have no dealer near me, or I didn't when I called in like a month ago. I believe they said the price for an RE SE was $175 or $195, forgot which one.

Are you saying these new prices are dealer prices or prices direct? Are the prices direct still the same?

Because I skimmed that post, and from my understanding, I believe that they raised prices directly from RE Audio. Which makes me think that they are just trying to increase business for their dealers.

Then again I'm probably wrong. Hey, while we're here, I was playing with my friends sub because he let me put in my car to see how I liked it. And I noticed that his wire from his amp to his sub was a lot bigger than my wire from my amp to my sub.... The size of the wire doesn't matter right? And I noticed that some of the little threads sticking out of the stripped part of the wire wasn't even coming in contact with the terminal cup things.. this won't affect anything right?

Haha don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault, it was swung against me. I had a feeling they were about to jack the prices too. Oh well.

about your friends sub, i was always told shorter the wire the better.

You will probably want to run 12 guage to your sub. It isnt a HUGE difference, but the larger the wire, the less resistance thru the wire. If its smaller than 12 guage, i'd pitch it and go to radio shack and buy a few feet of 12 guage.

Should be memeber of the year...but I wont complain.

I believe that is direct from RE, not dealer cost.

Thats because you don't have any size wire going to any sub :P
And no you don't need huge speaker wire. Can you guess how big it is?

It wont effect anything since most of the wire is inside the terminal cup, but haveing all that stuff stick out looks bad, and could touch each other if long enuff.....and that would be bad.

about your friends sub, i was always told shorter the wire the better.

about your g/f she always told me lon......n.m. :)

The wire itself isn't very big at all. I think it might be 12 gauge.

My friend's wire seemed like 8 gauge, maybe even 4 gauge.

Does it matter if all the small little threads isn't touching the terminal cup thing? Like pretend I can't fit the whole wire in there, is it alright if I stick as many strands as I can in there?

Im sure it wasnt 4 guage. Bill doesnt even run 4 guage to his subs, he runs 8. 12 is really all you need for your power requirements.

As for fitting the whole wire in there, just trim off the excess strands if it doesnt all fit in there.

, matt i am astonished by your vulgar intentions on that reply.
