What sort of thermal power handling is the IXL voice coil capable of? I'm looking at a single 15, but it only comes in DVC2, and my opti does over 1600w @ 1 ohm.
If I run it at 4 ohms it'll only be getting ~600w.

I mean, if you turn down your gains, it won't matter... Just be responsible.

I was conservative with the ratings. It should handle ~1200 watts with little issue..
I'm right. I'm always right. Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
Now which would you rather have. Two MAW-15's or one IXL-15. They are both 230 shipped. Vehicle is a grand cherokee and both would be ported.
There is no difficulty powering either setup.
Edit: The IXL-18 is only $20 more than the 15. Can't decide![]()

Go with the MAW-15's. They will sweep more air and will result in higher output. Folks have pushed 700+ watts into them and they've taken it.
more cone area = more output = better

One IXL will not equal two MAW's for swept air.
1 IXL-15 = 3 litres p-p
2 MAW-15 = 4 litres p-p
Best,
