RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII / Best Sub Under 500! Perfect for Movies and Music! 

Yeah, this was my first experience with RSL and thus far the products and people behind them have been great.

Thanks for the watch!

​@@MattCoykendall1 Matt please, im worried, i need some guidance. You mentioned the rsl has less mid-bass than the svs one, Im afraid of missing these frecuencies if i try to match it with Focal Aria 926 and its arguabily lack of bass (F. Resp. 45 Hz)

Yeah it’s a solid enclosure for sure, glad to hear it’s integrating well in your setups

@@MattCoykendall1 Now I may just have 2 pick up a speedwoofer 12S when released! It looks like it's gonna be a crazy powerful beast of a subwoofer!!!

I have the 12S on the way as well, I’m expecting good things after the 10S performance!

@@MattCoykendall1 Got it. It's HUGE! Sounds good. Going through break in now.

Yes agreed 10s is great, and if you want that deeeep extension for something like home theater they have the 12S on the way. I have it here under review at the moment.

@@MattCoykendall1 That is awesome news Matt! Can’t wait to see your review. That should be a disruptive product in the subwoofer marketplace

Hey Ramon, it does appear to be great value. If you watch their site they sell out on these often so the demand must be there. It has been a long time since I was in the car audio world but I totally agree, it adds up really fast building something with a good driver and enclosure. Thanks for the watch, appreciate it!

@@MattCoykendall1 Matt, your videos are really great! I hope your channel blows up! You definitely got what it takes!!!! Keep it up and seriously enjoying your content, brother! God bless!

Good news, I did. Should be in my recent reviews.

Typically LFE will be on for movies, if you want to set it manually a good starting point is around 80-100 depending on your speakers.

1 will do it as long as you have a good location for it.

You should call RSL they are so cool. In the end I’m getting a 12 and a 10. You should check with them based on your space

@@mrbrendankennedy The 12 is just too large for my space. That's a huge box.

@@Zaxdad123 I’m very lucky I have one large space. I’m sure you’ll be happy with what you have!

​@mrbrendankennedy how did this turn out for you? I hadn't thought about going this route but I like it.

Hello, I am guessing you are seeing the KLH Model 5's in the background. Those are my main listening speakers, really enjoy them.

@@MattCoykendall1 The large Advents were my favorite speakers many years ago. They look similar. Finally got rid of them when the foam around the speakers deteriorated for the second time.

​@michaelerb Same thing happened to mine. I have had them for 30 years. Replaced one of the woofers years ago. Now it's time to buy new speakers because the others need to be replaced now. Feel bad about getting rid of these.

SB2000 is going to perform to a high level as well, dont fret, give the sub a try see if it meets your needs. I really like the RSL but its easy to get caught endlessly chasing the next thing. Enjoy!

@@MattCoykendall1 so true - as Dug the dog would say “Squirrel!”

Oh yeah for sure, great with music

Go with the RSL this time, 30 days isn’t much of a warranty, just for the piece of mind alone. The RSL will handle everything the pb1000 does plus protect your purchase for a lot longer.

@@MattCoykendall1 thank you. If I can get him to lower the price to around 350 would that change anything? Is there an amount that would make buying pb1000 worth it? I can maybe add a warranty as well to pb1000.... would that make a difference? Thank you again for the quick response, really appreciate it.

Yeah I have to say I enjoy it too, right now it’s in my office and has plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Hey Neil, I reached out to RSL for clarification on MLTL vs their compression guide tech, this is what they had to say "Our patented Compression Guide tuning differs in that it creates areas of expansion, contraction, expansion coupled with specific volume, baffling, transducer parameters and tuning to achieve the desired output, vent velocity and impedance attributes which yield the extension and transient performance that we target."

@@MattCoykendall1 Right - I can see that it also has elements of Helmholtz etc. - but MLTL designs can include expansion and reduction of the sections. A tall ported design also starts to act like a TL if the port is at the opposite end of the cabinet from the woofer. There is a lot of "overlap" and gray areas - and "hybrid" designs. The taper down to the slot aka terminus opening, in the Speedwoofer means that *all* the air near the inside end of the slot starts to couple with the woofer cone (not just a much smaller port) so this adds the mass of the air and lowers the fundamental frequency of the system. The key change in MLTL designs that many people don't know about is moving the woofer away from the closed end of the TL - which is how the triangular section right behind the woofer in the RSL, is acting, in my estimation. Doing this makes the TL act "longer" than it appears, because the closed end doubles the effective wavelength. And the "middle" constriction in the RSL also causes the ait to "flow" (rather than just resonate), means that a fair portion of the design are acting a lot like a TL; in my estimation.

Agreed, such a good value.
