xxx = 54 MM of linear excursion, MT - 16 MM of linear excursion, but 30+mm total.
MT > xxx
come on now bro.......
Dont combat a generalization with another generalization. An MT may > a XXX in the SPL lanes for various reasons (and does), but the XXX has the MT beat in raw displacement, which will mean more output 1) in sealed applcations, given proper power, and 2) can mean more output on avg along entire freq spectrum the subwoofers are required to play.
This reminds me of the old test someone from RE did on all their woofers. The SX ended up burping louder than the XXX, next thing you know everyone is saying how much louder the SX was than the much higher displacement XXX. Problem was, the SX was louder at a given freq, due to its peaky nature. Is the MT peaky like this? Ive yet to play with one to know, but being a strong SPL sub, I tend to think its peaky.
No, xmax is not everything, but displacement does account for alot, even in vented systems. Remember, when playing music, the system isn't always playing notes at or near tuning where excursion is minimalized like they do when burping. For music, given adequate power and a full frequency spectrum test (not a one note burp), my money would be on the XXX being louder. Of course, the install would be the wild card deciding factor, as always. Either way, the xxx would remain much more linear than the MT, but that's not what's in question here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
