SoundSplinter [ RL-s Fifteen ]
 

Our most powerful driver, the Supreme 15 offers loads of displacement with an extremely linear, massive excursion capability.  Featuring Linear Motor Technology, this driver is sure to impress even the most discerning of home audiophiles.  Perfect for enthusiasts that seek out the cleanest bass at high volume, this driver is not for the faint of heart.  If you cannot accomodate an enclosure or power level within our recommended range, we would strongly advise you to consider our Premium Series drivers as a more practical (though less powerful) solution for high performance applications involving limited space.  The RL-s15 is rated for 1200 watts RMS and available in single 4
ohm voicecoil only.

Enclosure Recommendations
 
Supreme Series LMT's are optimized for moderate to large sealed enclosures. For optimal performance, we recommend a minimum of 4.0 cubic feet net volume. If you are aiming to fill a large home theater and have the extra space at your disposal, moving up to 10.0 cubic feet will aid in low-frequency extension along with a flattening of the response curve. 

The following graphs are normalized SPL response curves and should give you an idea of the changes in output that will occur when implementing different enclosure alignments. Please remember that these graphs are not absolute, and that your realized output will fluctuate on account of many variables including the size and shape of your listening environment, the placement of the subwoofer within its environment, and even the amount of power used.

Vented enclosures are not recommended for these drivers, as in most applications they will result in a considerably peaked response curve that is undesireable for a balanced listening experience.  If you must try the ported alignment, we advise aiming for an internal volume between 6.0 and 10.0 cu ft, tuned between 14-22 Hz.  The low tuning is necessary in order to keep your response curve reasonably flat. The larger your box, the lower the tuning should be.

For those of you looking to compete in sound pressure level competitions, a larger moderate- to high-tuned enclosure will work to your advantage by providing an exceptionally large peak in the frequency response near tuning, suitable for producing very high dB's on a limited range of frequencies.
