The shop i work at is looking for a new line of subwoofers to carry and re audio is under serious consideration. we don't have any experience with these speakers, so i was wondering if anyone had any comments, good or bad, on them. we've been told that the XXX 12 is comparable to the JL Audio W7, and the SX Series would have no trouble keeping up with a Kicker L7 12. Any opinions? thanks....

I would take take on RE subs in a heartbeat if I were you. They make great stuff and I dont think their are many dealers for them (their are none in my area that I know of).

I used to work at a shop that sold re ......the xxx puts the w7 to shame... at half the price... if you want to see some of those subs go to ... http://fresnoracing.ipbhost.com/index.php?s=1d45a09d4da517d3dcf1d82693aeaf5e&showforum=6

check out the system of the months... the trucks .. 02-04 chevys.. i think youll like.. i believe re is one of the BEST subs on the market under 500.00$ period... whats amazing is that you have a sub with 38mm of excursion .. sbl2 technology .. ..and its sq..awsome sounding woofer

thats what i thought i'd hear....their product looks great, you can tell the stuff is for real, not just some cheapo knock-off sh*t. i was thinking about buying one at reatail cost, probably the SX 12" for $270, to try their stuff out. i have a Kicker X100S 50x2 Class AB amp sitting around i thought would push it good. what do you think? will i be impressed? is it worth me spending the money on that kind of blind investment?

i forgot, the X100S is 50x2 at 4 ohms, 100x2 at 2 ohms, and so on down to 1/2 stereo...kicker rated it at 800 rms, but i clocked it once at around 1300 watts with a test tone.

I was gonna just say that kicker amp is actually quite a bit of power, if you can load it down. What voice coil configurations is that sub avalible in?

all of the SX series subs are dual 2ohm so i would just run the amp at 1ohm mono. the rms rating on the sub is 1000 watts, and since i should only expect that X100S to put out aroung 800 should i get a bigger amp, or will i get the kind of preformance it i want out of it? how power hungry are these things?
