very interesting discussion going on here, how does the opti1535d compare to the 1533?

Opti 1533 is junk. Opti 1535 is an amazing sub. Far better than the American Bass, imo.

good job keeping the xfl's, the opti subs are horrible for low bass, they have a freq responce of 40hz on the 15", and 50hz on the 12". If you are looking for woofers to do a good job for all around music you definatly didn,t want an opti 1533/1233, If you are looking for a good spl woofer the opti would do well, but I won't say it will be any better than an xfl considering the fact I've seen those xfl's take some serious power, so in an spl application, you're going to do well. I have owned both subwoofers. I've been doing car audio for over 12 years, but just started competeing 2 years ago, and my very first competeing system was with 2 1533D's, and on my American Bass VFL400.1 I bursted 143.5, in a box tuned to specs, by the way those opti's do best in small applications, and for the 1533D they ask for a tuning of 35hz. I went to a competition with no intentions of competeing just to spectate because all I had in my trunk at the time was 2 10" XFL's on a soundstream tx2600 at 1 ohm, which that amp is .5 ohm stable to draw max power. But being the man I am, I competed anyway, with a clamped wattage of about 1336 I hit 139.7 with my 2 xfl 10". I put my 10" XFL's on my american Bass VFL400.1, and my car was way louder than those 2 15" opti's could dream of ever being, I use to have to open my trunk to prove to people I had 2 10", they hit way lower than the opti's to. The motor on those opti's is for impulse buying, the soft parts ****, the thinnest coils you'll ever see, probably have stronger coils on a kicker comp, and a single spider to, if you ran a true 3000 watts to an opti it might last 5 minutes. I see in the pic you have the last year model xfl's, you should see the new ones, well I guess you can say the next years model, and you have the previous models, the new ones have the same basket as the new HD's and the VFL's, all of which I have, they're sweet. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give you some advise on the woofers from personal exper., and to insure you, you made the right decision, goog luck with your system

Optis get low all day and that's a fact deep bass idk about the 15s but the 12s are something amazing when it comes to the low end

how is a 3" coil thin

Ive used the Opti, and the Max pro 10s and 12s, and I have been impressed with the performance of both.Yet, I have not used the A bass yet.They seem to be alright, but I know that I can get the rms, and some out of the Lanzars.For a while they faded out, but have been there, and making me wonder at times of continuing to buy from time to time,.I recommend Max Pros to the Budget/entry level guys, or for a temp set up anyday of the week.My Opinion

max pro are only $48 and I've never heard something that cheap be as deep I would throw my pioneer I bought from Wal-Mart in the trash compared the those max pros

Max pros are supposed to be only for sealed enclosures from what I have read about them.
