Jules, which ranges of RE are available locally?

What sizes are available for REx range?

Hey Koogs

REX 8,10,12

Others available SRX,SEX,SXX. MX and XXX on request.

OK.

Mmmmmm.............should I go for 2 x 10s..........3 x 8s...........or maybe 3 x 10s

the REx are all dual 4 ohm - so two of those in a mixture of series/parrallel will land up at 4 ohm - i would stick to a a pair of 10's or if you want more output and lots of potential boominess then a pair of 12's - if you wish to concentrate on the SQ aspects then definitely a pair of 10's

remember too that the REx versions only need 175 watts RMS each - if you wish to have lots of headroom i wouldnt want to go more than 300 watts RMS on each - and even thats cheeky IMHO - less than that would be more comfortable ie around 200 watts each - if you really have huge power at your disposal (which you do) then get a pair of srx 10'S (dual 4 ohm models) so with a pair you can get back to 4 ohms and you can easily use your big amp for those

if you want to try the REx's out you can use mine and build a box to try them out - if you like them then just replace me with the new pair - if you dont like them then you know you need the SRx or SEx versions - im not using mine yet and they are just lying in the cupboard and i really do want to listen to them - if you build the box remember that the SRx versions work in the same size of box just with more power as long as you stick to 10's

I would go two 10's.

As per Naughty, think a 4ohm load would be best for those subs. Else go up a range

I am going to keep my T8004 so will have around 500W RMS to play with for the subs..........

thats fine for a pair of REx 10's or even 12's - those both need 175 RMS and you will give them around 250 RMS each - the extra is decent headroom and the subs should handle that - if the amp was stronger than that i would have said go for the SRx series

the problem with the 12's though for SQ purposes is that they are boomy whilst the 10's seem better - i do still have the 2 autostyle 10" boxes and the subs - if you want we can hook them up and test them out in your car on a spare weekend - but those boxes are too big - they are closer to 1 cubic foot each and i dont have enough wood to build a temporary box for experimenting with right now

i wont be using the subs until i get my front speakers back from Sunil and i dont have any amps hooked up for now - but if worst comes to worst we could try them out in my car if i hook up the 6 channel amp again but i have no front speakers at the moment - cables are all still there though

2x REX 10's then I would say!

I was thinking the same...........and thats what naughty has sitting at home
