AUGIE Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Both have similar numbers, which will give the biggest punch for movies? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 10 and 12 are driver sizes. So the 12 would have more punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUGIE Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Does the passive radiater on the 10 mean anything? Just werid that they pass the same numbers although the 12 is larger. The 10 has a stronger amp also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I own an RSW-10d and my buddy has a RW-12d. I think the RSW-10d definitely has more punch with music with it's stronger amp and ultra-high-excursion active and passive woofers. Based on the specs, the RW-12d will play a little louder at 30hz but you will have some port noise contributing to that volume. With that said, you might like it better for movies. FYI, the woofers on the RSW-10d are the same as those on the RT-10d. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGIE Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well I lost the auction, back to the search for a hard punching sub! KSW-15??????? Currently have a KSW-12 that is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Sub-12 is very nice if you think the KSW-12 is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etc6849 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you can get a good deal on one, I would try the RT-12d (now discontinued). I'm not sure about your price range, but if you find the right dealer closing it out, it runs $1200-$1600 (mine was $1400 as a display, but I got it in a package deal with sealed RS-62s thrown in for half off msrp!); with the recession on going, smaller dealers are hurting and willing to deal if you have cash. A smaller dealer may have also bought their stock before the price increase of the reference series, so they are willing to deal if you make a reasonable offer. It's the best sub I have heard at any local shop. Very nice construction too, although I think the grill clips could have been better designed. I noticed a huge difference is accuracy over the 15" Cerwin Vega it replaced. I haven't ran any tests with RoomEQ yet, but I suspect the response is as advertised: Specifications FREQUENCY RESPONSE 19-120Hz +/-3dB AMPLIFIER POWER FTC rated power: 800 watts continuous @ <2% THDDynamic power*: 2000 watts MAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT 120dB @ 30Hz 1/8 space, 1m DRIVE COMPONENTS Ultra high-excursion 12" (30.5cm) Cerametallic cone, front-firing wooferDual ultra high-excursion 12" (30.5cm) Cerametallic cone, rear-firing passive radiators AMPLIFIER BASH® digital hybrid ENCLOSURE TYPE Bass-reflex via dual rear-firing passive radiators INPUTS L/R line-level RCA jacks, USB 2.0 OUTPUTS L/R line-level RCA jacks (pass thru) HEIGHT 18.75" (47.6cm) WIDTH 24" (61cm) DEPTH 21.75" (55.2cm) WEIGHT 71 lbs (32.2kg) FEATURES DCS control and feature set w/ 5 system presets and Adaptive Room Correction FINISHES Cherry or Black Ash wood veneer VOLTAGE 110/120 VAC 60Hz EXPORT VOLTAGE 220 VAC 50/60Hz BUILT FROM 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askbob1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The rw-12d is highly UNderated in my opinion. The size, performance, price, and finish of the rw-12d makes it really hard to beat. I have had a sub-12, mfw-15, and an rsw-15 in the exact same spot as the rw-12d, and none of the aforementioned were as good at every aspect of hi-fi/HT as the rw-12d. Yes, the rsw line will be more 'accurate' in bass response, but the output suffers due to the passive radiator. The rw would belt out <30hz stuff that could not even have been produced with the rsw. Of course, that is just my two cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
