[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 525940, member: 547749"] I'd suggest an XBL^2 sub, for numerous reasons. Primarily though, you are looking for a sub that can maintain its composure, even with rapid-fire high-impact double bass hits, along with whatever other bass material will be going on (metal, you know)... XBL^2 technology fundamentally eliminates intermodulation distortion, where other technologies (save for JBL's DDD technology) can't do that... and IMD is the primary audible distortion present in a loudspeaker. It does so by virtue of flattening the BL curve like a table top, so as the voice coil and cone are moving in and out, the BL value (motor strength) remains constant - where with traditional motor architectures, this value fluctuates, decreasing the farther in either direction the sub cone moves - and as it changes, so do all the T/S specs.

It also happens to have the side effect of increasing your excursion capabilities... so, you can reach monsterous excursion levels... read: monsterous output levels. You do listen to it loud, don't you? [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
