at least you aren't coming to my house to sell these to me..

/me thinks that ryan is in cahoots with RE

 

I dont think Ryan is, but I surely am.

Those prices are MSRP. They may or may not be relevant to anyone looking to buy RE products.

MD Audio IS NOT authorized to sell to anyone other than people within a 15 mile area of them.

 

haha shoot. nah i aint a rep. iive just owned one of there subs before and can vouch for umm. they good ****.

that md audio web site is the only one found that actually had prices on it thats why i posted it. i first found these subs in a car audio store in washington state. thats where i used to live.

 

If you email RE, they will email you back with a price, including shipping to your door.

These are awesome subs...

 

waht a waste of a thread though. ive heard good things about RE esapecially the XXX subs, but you have done nuthing but list the prices of teh subs ( and if you had one why'd you get rid of it)

 

I'm curious, what's so amazing about them? is it the durability of the material (cone/surround)? strength of the voicecoil? (IE number of wraps, thickness of coil wire)... length of voicecoil(excursion?)

 

they have like 2.5" of linear excursion one way.... better than my 7mm lol

 

all excursion does, (as long as you have the strong voicecoils to go along with it,) is allow a much higher volume at a given frequency, right? because any speaker can create any frequency... but it's the volume that's limited.

how LOUD are these things, and is the 2.5" excursion realistic?

 

yea it is if you are putting enuff clean power to it..... i know that Adire has come up with a drive that has like 6" of linear excursion one way.. for theators

 

i bought the sub off one of my friends. i kept it for 3months or so. used it. powered it with a power akoustic 1600watt mono amp. it hit damn hard. well, soon after the 3 months i came to find out that the sub was stolen.

thats why i got rid of it. i dont like having stolen equipment in my car. so with the money i got for the sub, along with a little bit more of course, i went out and bought my JL audio subs and am very happy with them.

 

um, why didn't you return the sub to the rightful owner... or turn your friend in for stealing?

 

well, first off i have no clue who the rightful owner was.
second my friend didnt steal it. that sub hs been stolen and sold at least 2 other times before i even got my hands on it.

bad thing about federal way, washington. kids up there, if they want something, they take it. also in downtown seattle too. kids up there spend all this money on there car looks and stereo systems, they dont even bother to buy alarms to they get it all jacked.

 

alarms don't do anything to a real theif... they just help if your car is around other people

 

well i have an LED pager alarm that tells me when my car alarm is set off and exactly what area is was set off in. so some alarms do help, you just have to be willing to spend the money for it. these alarms cost 400-600 dollers.

eventually your alarm will pay itself off. you get a discount on insureance for added security

 

I have a two-way LED pager alarm as well... doesn't do jack... it only goes a short distance.

I'm solving that problem by putting in a gps/cellphone module...

calls my cellphone and tells me x,y coordinates... plus I can track/control car online... mostly I care about the SMS messaging of triggered zones...

say you're in movie theatre, your phone would vibrate with a txt message from "Car Alarm"... saying "Door Trigger"

that WOULD do something... but the 1/8 (realistic) mile that the two-way alarms go doesn't hack it.

plus I've tried it before... I was inside my office with my remote in range... it still takes over a whole minute to get to the car.

thats enough time for someone to steal it, or to steal almost everything in your car...

just don't flash all your neat stuff around town, like most people in this forum do.

 

a side note... a little red blinking LED on your dashboard is about as effective as a full-featured Two-Way pager car alarm. I read an article some where that showed that just the LED thwarted the unexperience theives... the real crooks will take your stuff whether you have a T-1000 guarding your car or not.

 

haha. yeah i HAD a 5 LED bleu light alarm feature on my car. it was just the light connected to a switch but it stopped people from messin with my stuff. its juts about as effective as a real alarm.

any real theif would know the difference and know how to test whether or not its a real thing or not, but im not going to mention how to test that just by looking at it. thats just one of those things that shouldnt be said to prevent any stolen goods

but yeah now i dont really have to worry about it. i have the 2way pager viper alarm that works rather well. mine goes off within 10seconds of the car alarm being disturbed. loud annoying pos too wakes my butt up when it goes off when im sleeping.

i also park in a garage too so i really just have the alarm for when im out n about.

 

no way to tell just by looking at the led... you'd have to tap the car... but that sends a signal to pager... so I guess they'd just tap it and run off... if alarm goes off, they'd probably do it a few more times until the owner just turns off the alarm.

our vipers actually have built-in technology to encourage this behavior... NPC nuissance-prevention-circuitry... if the same zone is triggered 3 times in an hour, it ignores it for an hour I believe... so if some kid came out and kicked your car 3 times in an hour, it wouldn't respond to kicking anymore... they could then smash in your windows and take all your goodies.

a good reason to get the radar and glass-break sensor... no to mention double-barrel remington.

 

Agreed. All they have to do is cut the brain, or disconnect the battery and that's that... Or even the horn...

But I'd rather have the blinking light, just to scare away those kids.

Not directed at you, but...
Best way to go about things is don't advertise what you go in your car. Keep it stock as stock looking as possible, and don't boom your system near home - or any place you have your car parked for a prolonged amt of time. I have one of those shades for the back area, that's helpful. It's near impossible to hide systems in our cars otherwise...

 

although, if you had a t-1000 guarding your car... you'd probably be okay with leaving some nice stuff in your car

 

or get a really mean *** rottweiler

 

if at all possible if you have expensive things that you are worried about getting stolen. put them on your insureance so if they do,full coverage insureance will cover it. its an added cost.

also of course if you have access to a garage, USE IT!

i have an alarm but i still park in the garage every night and day when its not in use.

 

I almost couldn't stop laughing from that insurance comment... typically you still have to pay out $500-$1000 for a claim... so you had better hope the stuff that got stolen was like $5,000!!

not to mention your rates will skyrocket.

If I had $10,000 worth of stereo equipment, I'd consider theft insurance.... but hell no, not for $2,000 or less.

get a $0.50 blinking red led, then you're all set.

or consider the do-it-yourself alarms from walmart and autozone... they're literally $30.

 

seriously if you get jacked then the thefs will remeber you car... get another system and set up s sting, play it loud and then wait..... a couple of nights and they will take the bait

 

just make sure you beat them to death, otherwise they'll be back...

make sure if you involve the police... that you go into the witness protection program, because those *******s will be back.

 

Just to keep this on the tech side to keep it from getting locked.

Uses a different type of motor structure called the xbl^2. Allows for high sound quality even at high excursion.

For videos in action run on over to ---> http://www.realmofexcursion.com/brands/reaudio.htm

If you really want to know about excursion check out the prototype on that page.

Anyways RE isn't a national brand there based on the West Coast so mostly only locals know about them. They do have a european website though.

 

Seriously... if you boom responsibly, and don't advertise, you won't have a problem. Besides, there's no reason to have a system turned up as your going through a residental neighborhood. No one else wants to listen to your music. If you have your stuff well hidden, in all reality, it shouldn't attact theives. I've had everything installed in my car, and I park on the street - and I have yet to have someone break into my car. I don't even have my stereo on AT ALL when I enter my town.

 

Sheesh, is your town that bad? or maybe you meant 'neighborhood'?

I'd go insane if I didn't have my stereo on at all times... I just turn it down when I get about 5 minutes of where I am about to park...

 

My town isn't HUGE, but yeah, I don't have it on at all when I enter. I've had my stuff taken before, and with the money and time invested, I just figure it's better to be safe, than be sorry.

 

I take it you don't spend much time in your town?
