I don't know, but according to my simulations, that 1400watts may not be able to kill an rl-p 15 in a 3ft^3 box.

Assuming the amp is 100% efficient, you're only at about 31mm of excursion by 10hz. This is of course the point where electronics can start to roll off...I remember seeing an xmag of 27mm so Xmech might be slightly higher. I would contact Mike at SS first if anything.

I would also contact Scott at Fi to see what the T/S parameters would be like after lowering the Qts. I honestly do not think it models bad at all in the 3ft^3 enclosure before customizations. Stuff it heavy and you're under a qtc of.707.


If you don't have a BFD for your sub, get one fast!
If you don't have REW, get it now!
