Default Check out my RE audio 12"s

So, I ordered a pair of RE Audio SE 12" subs last friday, came to my door today via fedex, these babies are gonna sound so good :




Gonna power both of them with an Orion 1200d amp and put them in a Subthump T-top box. I can't wait!

Your not going to get enough air for cooling circulation.

That tripple stack magnet is huge. I havent heard an actual set of REs but I have heard good things about them.

If you plan on running that 1200d at one ohm bridged ( [2] 4 ohm coils wired in parallel ) then you will need more cooling. Heat is the #1 failure for electronics

I'm just worried about having my box out in the open because the amp is the easiest thing to ******. Even though i'm getting the hatch limo tinted and I have a Viper 791 alarm, I like to be as safe as possible.

Got any suggestions on amp placement then, 2MuchRice? If I can't hide it, I want it to be a bitch to take out for thieves. I know for a fact that it's gonna be much easier to steal a light amp than a box with 50lbs of subs
