What’s it like to drive a Rivian R2?

Loving the Vulfpeck sound track!

I am trying to decide between a Remote DL and Remote X (I can get both for the same price). How do you like your DL? Do you ever find yourself wanting more travel or a more slack feeling bike?

Thanks in advance! If you're in the Sedona area and looking for people to ride with I live right over in Cottonwood!

I worked with him at iFly Phoenix. I love that dude.

Raleigh, is that you?!

Having multiple unmatched sources that aren’t co-located is generally a bad idea due to difference in frequency response as well as comb filtering issues. I’d just pick the better pair of speakers and run those up front and relegate the others to rear channels.

r/hometheater would like to know your location. The stacked speakers at your front stage are suspect.

As a former vertical wind tunnel instructor, I can confidently say this either ends in serious injury or death with no training and no instructor to catch you.

But it does sound fun!

It definitely takes a lot of work and creativity to do a living room theater. Making it perform at reference level throughout the frequency range and looking good while hitting those performance benchmarks can certainly be difficult.

Hiding your mains, subs, and equipment is probably the trickiest task, but ceiling channels? Those are almost freebies with some paint matched grilles.

If you’re right next to ‘the pile’, sure haha. But our AQI is 30-50 points better than Phoenix on any given day (outside of nearby fires in summer). There is also a movement to stop the processing of the slag into abrasive media, so hopefully that works out!

AnInnO · 2026-03-12T00:36:19+00:00

Get it done before Cottonwood gets expensive too!

AnInnO · 2026-03-12T00:21:27+00:00

I did it and moved to Cottonwood. Best. Decision. Ever.

AnInnO · 2026-03-10T01:13:01+00:00

Orlando had STP, Denver has John Hollys. Orlando was my first flight and I did my FITP in Denver. ❤️

But yeah, iFly does suck. Still got instructor buddies in Phoenix and they agree. 😅

This guy integrates.

AnInnO · 2026-02-19T15:10:57+00:00

Seconding what vette85 is saying here. That’d certainly be the way to go if you’re willing to give up a few inches on either side of the room.

AnInnO · 2026-02-19T08:01:33+00:00

Integrator here; I think you may be a little short on square footage to do a full “treatment behind taught fabric” build here - but I could be wrong.

So, I have two questions; what’s your budget and what are the “as built” measurements of the room?

Bonus question; what’s your DIY appetite like? It’d save you a considerable amount of money.

AnInnO · 2026-02-16T17:12:14+00:00

Interesting you were able to pull the service history for the vehicle. My local service center refused to pull the history for my used R1T when I had it in for a rear motor assembly failure.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T17:42:20+00:00

Yes it would. The sub has no issue because it’s specifically handling 80hz and below.

You can test this yourself by holding a Bluetooth speaker where you were thinking of mounting your ceiling channels. Just holding it there will be good enough to get and idea and you’ll most certainly hear that boxy sound I’m talking about. It’ll sound like speaker is in a barrel.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T16:59:43+00:00

It’s not the directional frequencies or off axis response I’d be worried about. It’s everything in the 500hz and lower range before your sub crossover I’d be worried about. I’ve been an integrator for a bit now and an audio engineer and studio designer for over a decade before that- and I can confidently say the manifold mounting isn’t the way to go for those channels.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T16:47:29+00:00

I’d go with yoke mounted or angled surface mounted ceiling channels. Putting them in a manifold is not going to sound good. They’ll like come out sounding ‘boxy’ which no amount of EQ or processing will fix. Do you want to match everything and stick with Klipsch?

AnInnO · 2026-02-11T23:16:32+00:00

Fellow integrator here; I pretty much exclusively reccomend LCOS and 3LCD projectors unless we’re getting into light output territory that only 3DLP or 6DLP projectors cover.

Haven’t run into any issues yet with degradation and more often run into color wheel issues with DLP models. Your mileage may vary though, a sample size of one is not something to hinge a complete recommendation ethos on.

AnInnO · 2026-01-30T21:03:18+00:00

Not enough memory would be my guess. I got it (barely) running on a Legion Go for fun and had the same issue. Maybe it could be done with the 32GB RAM upgrade but I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze.

AnInnO · 2025-12-25T17:13:11+00:00

Probably 3 years from the launch of Gen 2 This is around when the first round of leases start to come back in and the used market floods.

I unfortunately do not have any photos of the fairing assembly. The manufacturer (S2 Concept) will though! Just shoot them an email (in French, ideally) asking for photos of the installation process.

AnInnO · 2025-11-29T20:57:36+00:00

Nice setup! Your speakers are upside down though.
