18" RE XXX Excursion

[rozic]

it's a fucking fi now ok?

the re part is a big piece of emtal and a magnet, the fi part is a million times more complicated voice coil, membrane, spider, foam atc.

it's a fucking fi now bitches

[christopher12344321]

Why recone an XXX with a fi btl kit? Advantanges are.... what? I'm not hating, just curious

[bassistwis]

wont the sub get overheated by this action? If the air-flow is underneeth the magnet, the voice-coil wont get the hot air out? I would not have done that to my subs

[dropped99silverado]

Part 1/2 - The pole vent was unobstructed, non the less it would not affect cooling. You actually have better cooling with a solid pole piece because instead of air being wasted out the pole vent, it is forced down the gap and must wrap around the former/coil to exit the basket vents.

[dropped99silverado]

Part 2/2 - Look at the RE Audio MT, that has a solid pole piece, for aid in cooling from high power levels. Another example would be the cooling option on the Fi BTL, which actually eliminates the pole vent also or the pole plug option that Sundown Audio uses on there Nightshade. The only down fall from this, is the added mechanical noise, and why it is not used on smaller (lower power handling) subs.

[puresofmeh]

@bassistwis For this particular sub, you could hook it to a wall outlet for about 3 minutes before it ever got warm. This is a SERIOUS sub!

[Xertalista]

nice FI BLT u have there.

[dropped99silverado]

Lol, I love these youtube noobs. ROFL. So fawking stupid. Do you dress yourself? Feed yourself? If so, I am so proud of you!

ROFL

[delvinmacmillen18]

@dropped99silverado just take off the fi sticker and people wont think its a btl.

[RosenG1982]

re was owned by the same person who started "FI" he sold "re" audio to U.S Amps

[kylehobbs93]

why does it have a Fi dust cap ?

[18Fibtl]

@kylehobbs93 he used a fi recone kit but its a re sub

[bronsonsnow]

Thats must be a 02 or something because the basket of the 04 05 is a 12 spoke basket

[dropped99silverado]

Nope ;) If this was an 02-03 version it would have had a flat bottom plate but yes this is using a 6 spoke basket unlike the 04-05's used.

[MillyFlow]

500 or 5k rms? its hard to belive only 500 rms would move that like that

[dropped99silverado]

Its free air, doesn't take much power to get it moving.

[SRSwitchBL4D3]

oh yea thats just 500w its barely movin really

[thalar52]

do they sell recone kits for RE XXX ?

tight sub btw, hits really hard.

[ballerxfoxsho]

deff a XXX, no FI beats that hard

[EXOcontralto]

More motor noise than I would expect, but still, nice video - she's movin real good mang - 5*'s from the top - Keep er' slammin!

[muzyk15]

36mafia -night a tip.

[chiefdarklord69]

late night tip*

[TheMKTKING]

song ??

[ResonantEngineering]

its a triple XXX.

haha trust me.

here at RE some crazy recones are possible.

This is basically the RE sub with a Fi recone.

Its simple.

And as for ur other comment...

The RE XXX back in 04-05 was not long and tall. and narrow.

it had a BTL style build and basket.

But hey. We learn right!?

RE4L

[SubMasterT]

EVERYONE GIVE THIS GUY A BREAK HE USED A RECONE KIT.... ITS 100% POSSIBLE.... SO NEXT TIME THINK BEFORE YOU TALK.... Have a nice day :)

[EXOcontralto]

Way to hold it down bro! - Keep the bass alive!

[SubMasterT]

Omg retard.... recone kits replace the cones look and xxx cones are rare and fi are easyer to find and so its still the same sub because if you look at the real btls the dustcap is alot bigger.... think before you talk

[dropped99silverado]

lawl, you can do a search. But thats the 06- present RE XXX, this is a 04-05 version. They also had another version in 02-03. Wow it doesnt says XXX on the cone, OMG its not an XXX. Its got a recone kit on there, if i change the dust cap will that make you happy?

[duhweedman420]

yah :-D

[SubMasterT]

rofl, what people come to these days.... its just sad.... i mean seriously.... sure it looks like a btl but you can at least ask lol.... but re xxx are Beastly!

[666xGuitarplayerx666]

My only question: HOW THE HELL DID YOU BLOW AN RE XXX!?

[dropped99silverado]

Never said I did... There are other reasons why people recone subs, like to change the size......

[666xGuitarplayerx666]

OH sorry but that would take some incredible power to blow that

[duhweedman420]

dude thats a fi sorry to let u no...

[dropped99silverado]

Lol, the youtube noobs never stop amazing me. You are a fool, and oviously know nothing about car audio. Do you even know what a recone is? Honestly, stfu

[HELPTHEHOMELESS32]

did you put a Fi cone on it or something? why does it say Fi if it's RE... obviously some people might be confused about that...

[warzniak]

whats best for 18's?? fi? re? or soundstream?? because im planning on buying a 16 thousand watt amp from soundstream with one 18

[EarSplittah]

I picked up a 2002/2003 model RE XXX good motor/basket for $80, recone kit for the XXX through fi is HALF the fucking price greg from usamps / re wants to charge for a recone kit.

[duval757]

Since everybody up here seems like that know a lil somethang somethang.......can anybody tell whats the better sub? DD Audio, Audioque, Fi Audio, or RE Audio? Is Fi Audio a off branch of RE, like Audioque is of DD?

[monkeyjuice128]

personally i dont think it gets any better than the re audio xxx series

[dropped99silverado]

Depends what you are looking for, they all make great products. Wouldnt say there is a "best". Fi is not a branch of RE, the owner of Fi used to be the designer / engineer for RE. The father to the owner of DD, owns AQ.

[Divedeep101]

Hey, in my opinion DD is the best. Audioque is like DD but it's made in other places than the united states. Fi audio is great, Fi's best sub will cost about 480 and DD's will be about 3 times that ,but has better wattage handling. Re is great but not as handmade as DD. Digital Design is the best. DIvedeep101 send me a message if this helps or need any help.

[monkeyjuice128]

the basket isnt even the right shape.

[YuKnowLo]

how is this an RE?

it clearly.... plain as day... says FI dead center of the speaker....

[dropped99silverado]

And a Pontiac Vibe says Piontiac on the front and its clearly a toyota. WTF is your point? Can you fucking read? Wow the dust cap says fi, it must be an fi. Freaking idiots

[YuKnowLo]

ummm even if it is a recone... its still basically a fi dude... it has all the parts to a fi except the magnet and motor...  the cone the spider.. everything so why not call it a btl... hey it even looks just like one

[dropped99silverado]

lol...First off the mag is the motor. Seconds the soft parts are not from a btl, so why would i call it a BTL? Scott custom builds recones, and its built to specs. It looks nothing like a BTL except for the cone and dust cap.

[YuKnowLo]

which is what everyone on youtube can see.... so why do u get pissed when we cant even see the other parts...

[dropped99silverado]

No they could see the other side, if they were smart enough to click the links to the pictures in the description....

[reaudio408]

thats not an re XXX that's Fi 18's BL or BTLs since i do own few Fi's BTLs and Re XXX

[dropped99silverado]

I have owned them both also, look at the pictures you fucking retard. Obviously either you dont own them or your just plain stupid...

[SicSniper4unreal]

quick question, is Fi using Foam surrounds or rubber surrounds?

[khung88876]

Dosent matter Fi,s RE,s BTL XXX or not thay BUMP hard.. buy some & see..had my BTLs 2years beat the shit out of them every day, still beating block up bitches....

[hulbert87]

Man i feel sorry that you have to hear shit from all these people who cant read a description box, or dont know what a recone means

[khung88876]

right,, dum fucks

[viperd911]

its very easy to tell a fi from a re just check out the basket

[NWSaudio]

The baskets are nearly Identical between the RE SE and the FI BTL... Means nothing to this video I'm just saying..

[DarkLanDeamon]

It is a XXX my mate had one of them looks exactly the same sept the dustcap.

[beradtoosher]

XXX's don't even have a dustcap. So, youre basically saying that all black subs look alike.

[dnick454]

That's because it has a Fi recone with dustcap, the original XXX may not have, but the recone DOES. Besides, it's probably an older model of the XXX anyways, they've made many changes, new basket, cone, magnet stack, etc. So just give him a break and trust the person who posted it. He owns the subs last I checked, not you?

[beradtoosher]

I care.

[toob247]

doesnt anyone bother to read description, guess they never heard of recon kits? sweet piece to pick up cheap and recon RE and Fi thumbs up to infinity.

[splonke]

It says FI on it?

[dropped99silverado]

Your point? The recone kit was build by Fi.

[dropped99silverado]

Your the fucking retard, because you dont know what a 04-05 XXX motor looks like. Look at the pictures, ass hat. If you need me to speak slower, let me know.

[giantdhglory]

THAT IS IS A FI

[dropped99silverado]

YOU IS IS A DUMBASS

[K03N0]

hahah nice

[the9876543]

Man, that really looks like a FI. I know its not but dang, if it were in a box most people wouldn't know the difference.  Unless you just reconed it with a FI BTL cone or something, then you would have to hear it to know the difference in a box. Thats kinda cool :)

Btw, do you know how well it compares to a real BTL? I've never heard a RE xxx in real life, but I've got something similar to a SX15. Once that sub is gone I might try and get one of these. I've just got a TC Sounds 15" for now

[joestl314]

The BTL isn't going to have as good of SQ as the XXX.

[jeeponTSLs]

yea i think my man is right lol look under neath that is no BTL haha. will a recone for a BL or BTL fit right into a XXX like that? how did you go about that?

[dropped99silverado]

No a BL or BTL recone will not fit a XXX. Scott from FI can build custom recome kits for most subs with 3" coils.

[rickymac21]

yepp.. only david built mine.. built 2 18" re mt recones for me :) im excited to get those bad boys back in buisness.

[dropped99silverado]

Read the description, click the links, and look at the pictures. Its not a BTL and i am sooooo tired of hearing that it is. I built the sub, i know what it is. You can even ask Nick or Scott @ Fi Car Audio or Dave & RE Audio and they will tell you its a XXX from the pictures. Im not trying to be a dick but i have heared this about 100 times and its getting old. People are to lazy to read the discription or so dumb that just because the dust cap says fi its a BTL.

[ShznOsauS]

lol but it is a fi btl

[brettmm27]

read the fuckin description!

[dropped99silverado]

I think ik what it is, because i built it. Its a 04 RE XXX with Fi soft parts.

[boombaklot]

whoa look at that baby go

[951258tike22]

how come u put a fi dust cap on it?

[dropped99silverado]

because scott @ fi didnt have any blank dust caps when i purchased the recone.

[951258tike22]

ah, well it still pwns

[dave9084]

nice xxx

[thatonekid77]

Where have you been? Fi and RE are the shit. oh wait, you are probably a Rockford guy...I'm sorry, you had to spend all that money and buy a piece of shit subwoofer that was made in China with the Rockford name stamped on it...that sucks.

[dropped99silverado]

Pics posted, so i dont have to listen to the BTL bull shit.

[FiBTL18]

yeah thats def not a Fi sub i can tell by the magnet but either way there both great subs and scott the owner of fi used to work for RE and was one of there lead designers so there the same in some aspects but id rather have a btl anyday nice tho

[mikehonda23]

lol. cool lil thing with the dust cap though. i own a FiBL12''....how did u like the xxx????

[dropped99silverado]

Also, how could you even make the assumption its a BTL when all you have seen is the cone. People are getting stupid every day on youtube

[RowanLloyd92]

tacoballin111, if he says its an RE XXX with Fi soft parts in the description (which you probably couldn't be assed to read after the time it had taken him to write it) then it is. So shuddup!

[dropped99silverado]

LMFAO, another you tube noobx. Dude, do some research before you open your mouth. Its a fucking 04 RE XXX w/ fi soft parts. You want pictures of the sub for proof that its a RE XXX and not a BTL?

[AlexXx05]

nice excursion but never an xxx18(xmax54mm)

[dropped99silverado]

Actualy an 04 RE XXX only has 32mm of xmax.

[mcbobage]

The v4s are 54 and the v3s 32 afaik,

[wheresmym3]

I can't believe some ppl are so stupid. IT'S A RE!!! Scott@FI used to work at RE and does re-cones for various subs.

[mrk1ngsir]

go on ebay only like 500 ish and if its blown just buy the soft core parts

[TMReaves1993]

oh i knew the song right away late night tip?

yea thats hop mad bass

[PuRpLeYeZ23]

wats the name of that song?

[dropped99silverado]

read the comments, its been posted a couple times....

[pyro1441]

Late Night Tip By Three 6 Mafia but this version is slowed down for even more bass. Enjoy

[racingultimatedragon]

Probably the best subs ever made. But fucking expensive at over $2000 For the 18's.

[dropped99silverado]

Thats the 06's. There pretty crazy drivers, i actualy just purchased an new 15" RE XXX '06 model. Should have some real vids of it up shortly. This video was just a boring free air b4 i sold it. To bad ups broke it to sh!t.

[lucifersf8]

Nice and clean

[ajburks]

What the hell is up with that song?!!! Everyone uses it....nice sub tho

[masterwolf1212]

It has a very low frequency bass that makes my and other poeples woofers go crazy

[handsinair]

aa okay:)

[dropped99silverado]

Its cool just get annoying that people say its an FI because it has a fi dust cap. Its a 2004 RE XXX w/ fi recone kit.

[keithmoonlethal]

hey is the coil re or fi

[dropped99silverado]

FI soft parts, so yes it has an FI coil but as many of you guys know the owner Scott at fi used to work at RE and design all there subs.

[keithmoonlethal]

yeah i was just cheking

[handsinair]

YEEE but it isnt re its fi!

[dropped99silverado]

wrong FYI, FI RECONE!

[silenseking]

k thats not a Re XXX there FI's. cause if it was you could put alot more power then that.and would sound better

and 500RMS is nothing buddy go play with the kids

[jparkdzg]

read the info buddy. its a xxx with fi soft parts. meaning its a xxx motor/basket with fi coil/cone/cap.

reading > you

[calvinyuenblinke]

It's a RE with an Fi dustcap ffs..

[shsspartan10]

[audioamateur]

I get more excursion from my xplod;)

[dropped99silverado]

Probally does, but i would like to see your xplod not even blink at 500rms free air ;)

Corey

[audioamateur]

won't argue against that. you can put way more power to that one

[matt5112]

amp clipped, causes the studdering. Just like to point that out...

[dropped99silverado]

Amp is not clipping, trust me. The song is chopped and screwed dumb ass.

[normada]

[dropped99silverado]

Nope its a RE XXX with fi soft parts.

[xletitride4lifex]

[Villeza1]

Are you sure that's an RE XXX 18??? Shouldn't it have tha triple X logo on tha cone? Anyway, cool sub dude...next vid. should be in your car. Crazy bass!XD

[dropped99silverado]

Yes its a RE XXX but it has fi soft parts. I no longer have the sub, i sold it and it was distroyed by ups. I have a pair of motors still so i may build another

[LexManSubs]

My sub was also destroyed by the retards at UPS....

[dudleythemoose]

[razer1000]

[dropped99silverado]

[msappa]
