Why don you recommend vented enclsoures for the RL-i series?
Simply stated, because the Premium series is geared better for the job. The RL-i Series is certainly capable of being used in a vented application, however ported enclosures cause the driver(s) to absorb more power from the amplifier, thus the risk of thermal failure is greater on the RL-i’s 2″ voicecoil with respect to the RL-p’s 3″ voicecoil. The RL-i’s Qt parameter is also not optimal for vented enclosures, optimal being a Qt of 0.4 or less. If you are a responsible listener however, you should have no problem implementing a vented design for the RL-i Series and may use the following guidelines. Please remember that burned voicecoils are not covered under warranty and one should not use more than 300wrms on a ported RL-i series driver.
