One of the BEST Subs I’ve Ever Heard

The RE Audio SEX12D4 is one of the best sounding subwoofers I have ever heard. Seriously, this sub is incredible. At first I was a little skeptical about it. I had heard really good reviews about the sub, but I couldn’t get over the low price. I guess this subwoofer is in the same class as the Alpine Type-R, Kicker CVX, Rockford Fosgate P3, Pioneer Champion Pro, MTX Thunder 8500, etc… BUT I think it sound SO much better! The RE Audio SEX woofer plays LOUD. Right now I have it in a vented enclosure tuned at approximately 32 Hz and it is hands down the best sounding subwoofer I have had in my car. No matter what type of music I am listening to, it sounds great. When I’m testing my system with some Eagles – Hotel California (live version of course), the bass is the perfect amount to compliment the speakers. Not too overbearing, but just enough punch. When I put on some Hip Hop, the bass notes hit deep and I can feel the bass. This sub will sound great with all genres of music. It has some serious excursion too. I put on the Bass Mekanik – Sonic Overload CD and really tested the bass. I was really impressed. The sub was flying all over the place! Sounded much better than the several subwoofers that have been in the car before it. Don’t want to say specifically which subs it sounded better than (hint: read above), but this is definitely sounded better, and not just for SPL. I have found that the RE Audio SEX 12” sub is great for SQ as well. Currently, I have it hooked up to a Kicker 750.1 amp that stated 925 watts RMS on the birth sheet. So even if the amp is just giving the sub 750 watts RMS, this sub is still running smooth. Even though they state 600 RMS, just bring the gains down and you can hook it up to amp that put out a lot more power. Probably the safest bet to hook it up to a perfectly matched 600-watt car amplifier. Overall, I am 100% impressed and converted to RE Audio subs. For the price that Sonic Electronix has, you can’t go wrong. This is bass that I would expect to spend $400-500. Plus, I love the look of the cone. Just a simple black inverted dome with the RE logo. Simple and cool.

VS
Great Sound!!

These subs sound great but I don't recommend them!! Although the sound is amazing, they don't hold up. I have a hifonics Brutus amp pushing 1000 Watts to both subs in a ported 3.0 cft box. They lasted about 4 months. The weak point on this sub is the voice coils; they are too small and don't hold up to prolonged beatings. I called Sonic Electronix and they told me they couldn't warranty a blown speaker.

This sub is great, I own two of them in a ported box 1.75cu for each sub. I have them running on a Hifonics Brutus 1200.1 @ 1 ohm. These sound great in my suburban they hit the lows very well and get loud. Not to mention the sound quality is amazing. They are very power hungry I wish I would have gone with the 1700.1 amp. Ive pounded these subs very hard and clipped them for long periods of time to see what they can handle and they still hit hard. Amazing sub amazing service from Sonic Electronix.

This sub is the only sub I've ever purchased, but from hearing friends' systems, I can tell you that this is for sure the cleanest sub I've heard, while still hitting nice and hard.

If only the LPF on my HU was better, I wouldn't have to worry about blowing out the two stock mids I have yet to replace!

*only thing to look out for* make sure the box that you buy has a big enough diameter hole to fit this sub. If you call support, they will tell you that they have a certain box that will fit it. For me it was too late, but trust me, it's easier in the long run to just give them a ring.

I bought these after seeing how much people on Youtube liked them, and I will agree. They are the loudest and cleanest sounding subs I have ever heard with extreme amounts of excursion. I have two of these wired to 1 ohm in a sealed box powered by an 1800w Kenwood amp and I just simply blows me away. I had two Kicker CVR's previously but these blow them out of the park. I can't wait to get my RE Audio Amp that pushes 2400w on these guys. These are a must buy item!

First of all I've owned two RE XXX 12" dual 2 ohm subs now for 10 years, yes that's 10 years; and I've never had a problem with them. Second I've owned two RE SEX 10" dual 4 ohm subs for 5 years and never had a problem with them. These people are using the wrong box size and the wrong port size when applicable. These subs will handle more than 600 watts rms if they're put in the right box. They are ear splitting loud too. I let my nephew borrow my 10's and all his friends wanted to know what kind they were because you could hear him from 6 blocks away. I installed them in his Dodge Dakota Club Cab in 1.0 cubic foot boxes with 2" ports. I suggest going to reaudio.com and look at their recommendations for box and port sizes. They slammed until he had a wreck and his truck burned up, thank GOD he was ok. For this Christmas I'm installing 2 of these in a 2.50 cubic foot box with 3" ports at 34 Hz. The amp I'm going to use is a Hifonics HFi1500D. Note that the amp is 300 watts too high. However if you calculate a class "d" amp you only get 90% wattage output. One more thing I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER FOR 20 YEARS. Thank you.

Bought these subs solely based off their T/S parameters. I'm truly disappointed as I was going for an SQL build. These are definitely SQ subs and nothing more. Running a DTR3400.1d to two subs in 5.2 cubes (before ports and bracing) tuned to ~32 hz with two 4" aeros.

Not going to win any contests but the sound quality is is absolutely amazing. They definitely annihilate the lows and are able to easily and accurately reproduce them. Seeing 1100 before rise, they get a little stinky.

If I were to consider a SQ build in a future, I'll definitely use these, but until then, not for me. Sold them to a buddy for and ordered an 18" SX. Maybe I'll have better luck.

Running two off a Soundstream DTR1700.1d @ 1 ohm in 5.5 cubes to 25 hz with two 4" aeros.

Where my backseat should be, I have my box with my subs inverted in a Grand Prix.

Eventually doubling the system and doing a wall.

Anyways, by-far cleanest subs I have EVER heard and loudest for it's power rating. Annihilates the lows causing my cab to feel like a wind tunnel and still being cleaner than anything.
Going from an MTX 9515, I've VERY pleased with how much better these hit the lows and are much more articulate while doing so. I really hated how "punchy" my 9500 was, where these are smooth and instantly transfer note-to-note without any transition noise, but rather just a clean sine wave.

I was a firm alpine believer, but now i think i'll stick with RE :)

My buddy has two of these and I have 2 of the REX in my 2003 quad cab truck. I was a little hesitant to buy them because I haven't heard of them in person but wow. they sound great. it blows kicker out of the water. the SE sounds great. I can't wait to try out the start of the competition line. Definitely a must buy. even though I didn't buy from here. I got my 2 12" REX and an 800.2 watt amp by RE at my sub shop for around $500. wasn't too bad at all but you always want more and I have had them for 2 months now and I already want more. lol

Looking to buy one more of each for my other vehicles or possibly adding to the Tahoe....

I have been to car audio competitions and local shops all the time. On the competition note you see all kinds of subwoofers from Pure Sound Quality to Pure SPL. This Sub is More towards Sound Quality. But at the same time can get LOUD but not Extremely Loud. I Have 2 RE Audio SEX12D4s in a Ported Box tuned to 38 Hz. Even Though it is tuned pretty high they still sound Amazing. I Have them in a big 4 door car which is one reason why they aren't the loudest. If they were in a little smaller car they would be a little louder. Im Hitting the Mid 120s on DB Term-Lab. Now that's not much to the 150+ SPL systems in competition but these sound extremely good at that volume which anything above 125 Db is hard to get and still sound as good as these.

Im powering these with a Hifonics Gladiator GLX1400.1D wired to 1 ohm at 1200 watts rms.

ALL IN ALL these are pretty amazing...not the best if you want straight SPL but they are not made for it. Sound Quality Wise. Best I have ever heard outside of Competition. But then most competition cars have more than 2 subwoofers.

Buy these if you like any type of music from Hip-Hop and Rap, to Country and Rock.

Yes they are made in china and a lot of people say they are junk. People say get the ALpine Type Rs over these but people don't realize that ALpine Type Rs are made in china too...Even JL Audio is made in china Except their W7.

With the Box I have them in a ported tuned to 38 Hz. 1.7 Cubic Feet Per Sub..... RE Specs say to tune to 32 Hz with 2.0 Cubic Feet for Optimum.

I am Very Picky when it comes to Subs and how they sound. And These Even Impress Me

If you want Amazing Sound and still have the potential to get Decently Loud then these are for you. and for the price YOU CANT BEAT IT. These are easily worth twice this price.

Note: Sonic Electronics has been excellent in this whole mess, so this review is not about them.

I purchased (2) RE Audio SEX12D4 units. I am powering with a RF 1200.1 (600w each @ 1ohm). The speakers were broken in for about 2 weeks. They sounded great! I am not in comp and I am NOT a ground pounder. Just like my music to be loud at speed.

Within 5 months one unit blew a voice coil. Since unit was under warranty, RE replaced it (or repaired it), no charge.

New one came - had it installed. Let it break in 1.5 - 2 weeks. 3 months later, another V/C blew. Same amp, same box. Nothing else changed. I do not listen to distortion, more for SQ. Not sure what's going on. Sonic REPLACED this unit with a brand new unit. 2 weeks ago, blown V/C!! Now RE wants me to send it back, however, apparently they DO NOT cover blown V/Cs!

I am purchasing (2) Alpine Type R 12 Dual 4s. These are a very good sub for the money, and seem much more reliable.

BUY THIS WOOFER! so i found this d4 and was skeptical about buying it but I saw some cool videos on youtube and read some reviews and sprang for it because it was a great deal. It went out of stock as I was buying it so sonic got one from a warehouse back east and shipped it to cali for me for free. I had to make minor cuts to fit it in my existing box (a sonic original box) because i forgot to check mounting specs, but once it was in I knew it would rock. Everyone asks if I have multiple subs or if I have 15's and they are so surprised when i tell them It's only one 12. She hits the lows that know one knows and can really handle what the specs say. Mine is hooked up with 600rms and 12oo peak and the coil does warm up after a lot of slumping, but it takes it all so well. I will always support sonic and RE audio because their support and products have served me amazingly!

I went to Daytona Beach in 2009 for our 20th anniversary of going to the show (SBN). We ran into the RE rep, who had a small car laid out nicely. I heard good things about the subs and amps, and gave these a shot. I was running (2) SEX 12s on Rockford power (about 250w RMS to each). These subs sounded okay, but I blew a voice coil twice. RE Audio reconed the first time, and the cone fried again.

I then purchased a higher power RF amp (1358RMS x1 @ 1ohm). Sonic replaced the sub the second time around (thank you), and I just had it installed last night. Boy, with the right power - which I have now, these RE Audio subs hit very hard!! Low, deep bass. I am still breaking them in, so I am taking it easy. But night and day with the power upgrade.

If you buy these subs, feed them CLEAN POWER. Rockford 1200 / 1300 x1 @ 1ohm amps kill it. And they can handle it too, just be careful of your clipping. RE customer service was not that great.

Sonic was VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT at all levels; price, shipping, product selection, customer service, etc. WILL deal with again.

Great buy!

This sub has a break in period for sure. I think it took me like 1-2 weeks and that was 3 different amps. The first amplifier I had on them was a Hifonics BRZ1200.2, the right channel got messed up so I sent it back. Next I put a poor quality amplifier on them, it was the Lanzar 1100 watt monoblock, it says it pushed 1100 watts at 2 ohms meaning these subwoofers were being underpowered by 50 watts. They sounded okay for the time being. Then I got my Hifonics 1700.1D and oh my god! These boys shine! So loud they shake my sunroof and they are only in a sealed box at .75 cft per chamber. If you want SPL and SQ this is the subwoofer to go with, 1 is pretty good, but 2 is amazing. A must own.

Sometimes I can't even hear the singing in my songs, just straight up bass :) perfect for bass heads.

Great sub for the price. It handles lows very well. I feed it a hifonics brz1200.1d at two ohm. I owned a kicker cvr before I got my re. I would recommend the re becuase the power output and coil handling is better then the kicker at a lower hz. The sub will put out 600 rms but I haven't played it long enough to see how the sub deals with the heat.

Simple, these subs bump, and at a great price! I have a 1961 beetle with 2 of these subs in them and it's insane how loud and accurate these subs are, they sound great listening to rock or metal and especially dubstep. I highly recommend these subwoofers to anyone looking to get any, and they take way more watts than the manufacturer says.

I would recomend this sub to anyone who loves good deep lows. I have one of these subs in a ported box with an mtx 1200 watt amp and it slaps! Its a pretty beefy sub if you ask me, its good looking and a quality woofer. RE makes great subs.

I have 4 of these subs in a cut through hooked up to 2 XTX 3000.1 amps and they straight pound, whenever i do a demo id say a good 95% of the ppl have to jump out within the first 10 seconds but not only do they hammer but sq wise they are very clean. I highly recommend these subs especially for the price that Sonic is selling them at.

RE Audio has to be the best sub manufacturer ever. I have a RE Sex12, and it is crazy loud! I put it in a custom box for it. I found it on eBay by Zenclosures and with a JL Audio 500w amp. People can't believe how loud it is! Great buy.

So I have had these subs for about a year know, and I have no complaints. These subs have such great sound all the low bass you need for your rap and all the solid fast punching bass for your rock. I do recommend these to all people looking to have some lound ass subs that have great sound quality at the same time.

Great quality for the price of unit. Easy to install and wire. Very straight forward with sound tuning and limiting on distortion. Quick break-in time and ability to hold its maximum watt input. Minor convex (bubble) on surface of speaker though after 5th month of use.

As a die hard JL Audio fan for over 14 years I was very skeptical and worried about going outside of my favorite brand when ordering a subwoofer. I have this RE 12" SEX D4 sub in a 1.5cu ft ported box tuned at 33 hz and this thing absolutely slams and plays clean and low. I am very impressed with the quality at this price point. I am running JL HD900/5.

Dont hesitate about buying this Subwoofer, it performs great. Had a Memphis M-Class proir to buying this sub, it blew in 4months, Memphis is not even close to the RE, it hits so hard and deep too, I am running a RF 500watt amp with this sub and my roof is already flexing, It is a power hungry MONSTER so much so that I already ordered a Hifonics 1500 watt amp rms 1000 @ 2ohm to feed it more. Don't be shy it is a performer!! I still can not give it a 5star for reliability but I have heard RE stands behind there products..

Amazing! This sub moves some serious air. I have owned Kicker, MTX, and Alpine’s. RE Audio is far superior. One of these will shake your vehicle apart. Only bad part is the sub basket is too big and you will most likely have to cut the opening of your box so it will fit in.

My girlfriend bought one of this as her first set, powered by a hifonics brutus 1600.1 ...and of course the gains arent up all the way but the sub is dropped to 1 ohm...and it is a great combo. Def wish i made a purchase like this for my first set up instead of going with audiobahn.

First let me say sonic electronix is a awesome store to buy products from they ship quick and usally have the best price.. I ordered these subs from them and let me tell you I was kinda skeptical when I heard them.. I replaced 2 12 punch p2 that I blew with the MTX thunder 1000xd.. but the reason i was skeptical is because they didn't sound the same I never had such good quality sound that these produce. So it was odd to me.. no distortion clear as whislte hard hitting bass.. I gave them full power with mtx 1000xd and its not enough for these 12's.. I highly recommend theses

good sub absolutely murders the lows. it is not an spl sub but it will get loud the only downside to them is that they are very power hungry. if you are running two i would recommend 17 2000W rms they will take it no problem! Buy from Sonic Electronix, you can trust them. I love them and will buy again and again

So I guess I expected a lot more nor do I understand the hype. I also messed up by doing my build with 12s instead of 18s. With four running on 8 cubes @ 28 hz on 3400 watts walled in a grand prix, I'm barely hitting 138 @ 31 hz on the dash. These get absolutely pooped on by a single 15 (Ive had an MTX 9515 and an AQ HDC3) or even two SA 12s on less power. Definitely a SQ sub. By far the best sound I've ever heard out of any sub, period. Might ditch these for two 18s SXs, tune them higher, and see how that goes.

These subs sound great but I don't recommend them!! Although the sound is amazing, they don't hold up. I have a hifonics Brutus amp pushing 1000 Watts to both subs in a ported 3.0 cft box. They lasted about 4 months. The weak point on this sub is the voice coils; they are too small and don't hold up to prolonged beatings. I called Sonic Electronix and they told me they couldn't warranty a blown speaker.
