If you're looking for nice clean sound don't go with the mt.

so does the mx have more excursion the xxx since it has a 4" coil and the xxx only has a 3"

That is coil width. Im pretty sure the MX coil is way shorter not to mention the XXX uses 2 coils(split coil design)

XXX will have way more excursion potential(within Xmax)

The both use the same basket and suspension so non linear excursion should be smilar on both of em.

Both new and old XXX would get rid of the MX.. But the MX is still a decent sub...The newer XXX has tons of design flaws, and for the price I personally wouldnt get one...

Also a RD Audio Alpha will get loud on 2k and sound great doing it...One of the best overall drivers I have used..

well RE subs wether SR, SE, SX, MX, MT and XXX are a good choices.. they are all built for brutality but ofcourse XXX is a different story since its the top of the line of RE...

since the xxx is better than why does the mx have a longer coil

The mx's coil is 4" around, the xxx is 3" around. But the xxx has a longer coil. The xmax on the mx is 44mm total, where the xxx is 108mm total. The xxx and mx use the same basket but not the same motors. The xxx uses your classic magnet setup,where the mx has neo. That's where you will run in to problem's. The xxx is around 80lbs each with no enclosure. Your car is not going to take that much extra weight! The last dual xxx setup I did was in a 2007 chevy trailblazer and it bottomed out the shocks in it! By the time you do

amps,subs,enclosure,wire,batterys it get really f$cking heavy!!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif Remember you have a car not a truckSo in the end i would say do the mx's half the weight, Your car will thank you in the end

[flores210 10+ year member]

Good option right there.

 

[RE_XXX]

THE MX IS LOUDER!!!!!! I have both drivers. On the mic the MX is louder

The XXX doesnt handle the power people think it does, my buddies started to smoke with 3.5k

The MX is more SPL oriented.

Both are awesome drivers though.

well i own a 12" xxx and i have to say it sounds awsome however i have noticed the motor noise, however in the front of the car this is never herd its only when i am in the rear, but i love it and it plays everything with ease and is by far my fav woofer so far and deff out shines the RD alpha that i had

 

[flores210 10+ year member]

alright so the mx's are the way to go because i really dont want the motor noise but what kind of number you think i can get out of this setup its not that big of a deal but jw but its going to be in a 3.4ft

 

[flores210 10+ year member]

would that box work good or would it need to be bigger

 

[flores210 10+ year member]

???????????????????

 

[FurbiesAndBeans 10+ year member]

wait, u want SQ, but ur going with a more spl oriented woofer, and with a ported box? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

 

[flores210 10+ year member]

yeah because i have read alot of reviews on the mx's and they say its good sq in ported and sealed enclosure but sealed always has a nicer sound but i want to hit the lows but i dont want it sounding like ass either if i wanted that i would go spl
