I agree that 1.8 is a lot these days, but i kinda like it, as it reminds my of my boxes of old...
Yes! the CAE reveiw. Eric Holdaway tried a 1.2 cu ft but liked 1.8 much better. I think I remember reading on the forums somewhere that he thought the 1.8 sounded much better?

Excerpts from the review:

"Switching to the pop/R&B artist Usher, I played the song "Simple Things." Listening to this track, I found a renewed appreciation for how much I like larger subwoofers. Bigger is almost always better. Bigger subs reproduce the deep stuff with more authority than smaller subs. With the RSd12, I heard notes and details that I haven't heard since I tested the jl Audio 12W6 and the Stroker Pro 15". At low, medium and at high volumes, the RSd12 was unstressed and sounded wonderful."
Score: 8/10

"Next, I played "Boxenkiller" from the Focal Demonstration Disc 4. The bass drum and bass guitar were reproduced tightly and with force. The RSd12 was very impressive sounding and I frequently reminded myself that it costs only $169.99. The RSd12 has some real gusto. I really like how smooth the frequency response sounded and that there was nothing pulling the imaging to the rear of the vehicle where I had the enclosure installed."
Score: 9/10
