i decided to do this cause well its alot cheaper than turbo or supercharger lol. turbo or supercharger would run me around $5000 - $7000. i'd rather spend that money on down payment for a new car lol.

you'll know soon enough yanks.

also don't you think that helix dark blue 1000.2 will be perfect for you rls? look at what it does at 2ohm and at 4ohm bridged. your rl-s will be right in between. lol.

oh and i know that amp is too much for the 2 rd sq subs so i have to be really carful.

It would be absolutely perfect. Only one thing though man, I don't have $1200 to spend on a single amp lol. Come on buddy, its hard to enough to buy a $600 amp for the RL-S on $6.50-$8.50 an hour lol.

Text me your components.

yeah the bass is so tight and precise. i am really impressed with my sonances. when i had them in sealed, it sounded really good but lacked output. once i ported the subs i was like OMFG!!! it maintained the sq while getting really loud.

its just a perfect blend with the front stage that's why yanks. as you know i listen to mostly normal music. lol. so they blend well. the upper bass is really important to me when listening to groups like the jonas brothers and leona lewis. also the low is impressive.

@Chad

I ran a Helix Dark blue 1000.2 for about a year and half and it's a great amp! I also still currently have the Dark Blue 4 channel to power my Helix Advantgarde 6.5" component set, nice little set up.

Had to sell the 1000.2 to my buddy to fund for my newer equpment though....

I was thinking the same thing yanks lol. Was thinking what about Thilio's magical 15"??? But Chad you cleared it up with the explanation on music genre. But can I ask where the Revo's upper frequencies rolled off at sealed and ported? JW.

Chad, come over to the dark side. Get a truck, air bag it, install sounds, get some 22's or 24's depending on vehicle, and you'll never turn back.
