I installed some new subwoofers this week, i got 2 RE Audio SE subs and a quantum audio 1500 watt amp model QB1500D.

The video really does not do any justice, you have to hear them in person.

 

Who's RE Audio's partner?

 

No Idea.

 

Hifonics is the partner!

 

ahh i see, they slam like mad

 

That's cool! Running a cap?

 

I have a few but i dont have them hooked up yet. lights dim very bad.

 

don't bother with the caps. upgrade your grounds instead.

those older RE SE's are sick.

 

what's the box tuned to?

 

34Hz and yes i already did the big 3 awhile back.

 

Having better ground still won't resolve the power consumption. When using higher power capacitor definitely helps!

 

Have u ever tried with different orientation of the subs? I have a single JL sub and I always find them sounding tigheter when I place at the corner. .beside the trail lights facing other trail light..less trunk rattle and tight bass from inside..but if I place them beside the rear seats like I did I never get great bass but only rattle..may be its my system but just fyi only

 

i always wondered about re audio... i have a ported dual 10 box and im lookin for subs... are their 10's any good?

 

The old RE stuff is awesome but the new RE stuff has mixed reviews.

 

nice subs I just installed all RE Audio in my 4Runner and they sound great

I had a RE SR in my last car. Only 300 watts but it got crazy deep on the low notes.

 

nice subs..i got 2 RE SE 15s in my 2000...they are WAAAY under rated..they'll handle 1000 watts rms each w no problems

 

And where do you think the capacitor is getting its power from...?

A high power system wont benefit crap from a capacitor. You will need to upgrade the alternator and the rest of the electrical in order to supply sufficient power to the amps.

 

I found that this orientation of the subs facing back like they are in my photos give me the best bass output, if i turn them around there no where near as loud.

 

Nice subs. How much did that end up costing you?

 

For the Amp Box and Subs, $525 Even.

 

Man that thing pounds .

 

We agree to disagree or however it's said! But I do believe Capacitor will help from dimming of the lights as he says it does! Agreed that replacing the alternator and electricals definitely is the way to go!!!

 

Yes, your subwoofers look great! But I wouldn't like to have such small rear bag...

 

A cap will help in the noticeable dimming of the lights if that's all your worried about. You could just hook up cap's inline with the headlights. I'd be more worried about the voltage dips that could effect the ecu, bcm, brakes, airbags, etc than the stupid headlights. There are already caps built in the amp you don't need anymore. Upgrade the wiring if that doesn't take care of it then upgrade the alternator.

 

I know a former employee of RE that went with the company when it was sold to US Amps. We had a discussion a week ago about his trip to China to teach the employees of the build house how to build their subs. He left the company a couple of years ago. He now builds his own line of subs as well as repairing blown subs. The repaired sub is usually better than the original.

Here's a custom job on a Konaki motor with Eclipse/TC Sounds 15" basket:

 

The most oddest thing is, Your Name is Robert J lol, So are mine lol

 

Odd. I've Googled myself and there was a professor of economics at the University of Iowa with the same name as me.

 

Hifonics has no affiliation with RE... Hifonics is a Maxxonics brand
RE is owned by USAmps....

 

David is a cool guy

 

He is. Since he has family living here in town, I get parts and subs dropped off at my house in person.

 

Off topic but what is up with the brass coil to the left of the box? you making moonshine?

 

on voltage drop issues an upgraded alty bigger battery(or batteries) the big three, battery ground to chassis, battery ground to engine and atly wire to battery

 

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that.

 

The copper coil you see is a hose from the air compressor to the tank for my train horn.

 

make a youtube video of the train horn, id like to hear it

 

For your viewing pleasure.

You're right it is USAmps. My bad! Doesn't Maxxonics also own Autotek as well?
