RCF L12P300

i think them drivers would be beter suited for mid range

not as good as the ciare in punisher.

First plot is the L12p300.
Both are 0,5pi so you say its like 4 speakers standing on the ground
(theoretical)
As i said rcf is better for midbass
it has more vas and less cone mass.

the grey line is the spl at 500w input (i gave it 500 instead of 400...)
according to 63,25V what is 500w@8 ohm.
because the resistance of the whole speaker is alterning(impedance 8ohm)
it has not 8ohm at each frequency, so not 500w at each frequency, but less or more.
for example at 40hz the speaker has about 20ohm and will only take 200watt...

thats why you have the black plot, which is at least the same important imo.
it shows the max possible output at each frequency for 500w,
also taking care about the max. possible cone excursion.
you can see that the rcf is between 60and 80hz not limited by the power, but by the cone
excursion.

in real life you can push your cone more than the rated xmax, but with very fast rising distortion and not linear spl increasing.

the second plot is the ciare 12sw at 1000w.
you can see, considering about both plots, that the ciare has about 4db more output,
if you look at the max spl plot even more...

well actually its not the worst speaker for the punisher.
if you dont want to do big concerts or events and like woodwork,
do the punishers with rcf and have fun
surely they will give you more output than reflex and boom more...

best regards

These gius are fitted in a RCF bandpass bass bin for installations and a D&B audio BR bass bin for bass/kicks.

So it's good for bass, not for sub

for punisher you need a very high xmax, and that cab is specifically designed for the sw12.00!

Just to say, the RCF's work in Punishers extremely well. Pumping out loads of clean bass :D
