RE SE 15"/12" and eD 9.1

[Darthness]

So i'm wondering... If i have a single SE 12 or 15 (dual 4ohm voice coils), which are both rated for 600W Rms and 1200W peak, would it be safe to power them with a eD 9.1.. my main concern is reliability. I don't want to have the sub in my car for a week only to have my all my hard work and money blown....

Now, if you head to woofervids.com and check out the RE album, theres a SE(sexxx, i assume they're trying to say the sub is teh sex) 10 powered by the 9.1, imo it sounds great.

amp specs:

eD Nine.1
1200 x 1 @ 1 Ohm Mono
900 x 1 @ 2 Ohm Mono
450 x 1 @ 4 Ohm Mono

So if this amp is a little overkil.. what might work beter? looking for something in the same price range.. $350 or less perferably.

Thanks..

The SEXXX is a modified sub with both parts from the SE and the XXX, so consider that a different sub.

That amp really is too much for a single SE. You could get another SE and then the amp would be able to power both to their max.

Yeah, i think i'm going to end up with a JBL 600.1 or simular amp, either way it should suit emy bass needs.

Now the question is.. 12 or 15"? will a 15 even fit in my trunk? I think i might have just over 16" in my little saturn. i could just take out the backseat though.

A 15" might be tough. Make sure to fab up a box out of cardboard and keep it straight so it can't flex and see if it can fit through the opening of your trunk..if you can get it through the back then that should work, just might require a little time.

[sinister audio]

might also require alot of time but it will be worth it in the long run. what are you going to cover your box with?

[Darthness]

just carpet.

Hell, i could carpet everything but the top and bottom for a better fit. That, or i could attempt a one of those slanted boxes... (See shitty attempt at a drawing: back of box>|__\< sub goes here) but the sub may be too deep for that.

edit: actually, i went out and measured... looks like i may hae 17-18" for height, 38 in width, and about 23" (perferably around 21,22") for depth. But height wise thats going to come reaaal close to my rear speakers

What would happen if you took out you rear speakers? Are they stock or do you have alot of money invested in them? Chances are with a 15 in the trunk there not going to be very helpful for fill anyway assuming you dont carry a lot of passengers. Just a suggestion...

i Have $80 in my rear speakers, i think im going to end up moving them upfront (their my sexy memphis speakers. i'll have to put my video of them rattling my trunk up again).. I'll run no rear speakers and eventually get a set of RE components up front.

Btw, i got a cardboard box and tommorow morning im going to go up to my work and see if i can grab a few more so i can start working on the box

[Darthness]

ok so today i started working on a template. I think it turned out alright for my first attempt, the cuts are real rough because i started out sitting on my porch with a pocket knife. haha.



Im going to make another template tommorow because i want to try and get some more trunkspace.. right now i have a crate full of emergency type stuff (jumper cables, a few screwdrivers and other tools, bungie cords lol) that i can't really put anywhere else, unlessi can make room behind the sub box... I need to work out the actual dimensions for the box sometime. thinking 1.5cu. ft sealed for the 15" sub

You should draw a picture of a sub and amp on it and show it off to your friends
