IIRC, the UL12 does not employ xbl^2. I dont know of any xbl^2 that is rated that high, but my memory (on both accounts) may be off.

I agree, off the top of my head I cannot think of anything...

And the Critical Mass UL12 does not use XBL^2 technology, the website claims they use "MMAG" technology in the motor.

Is there a reason for it? Any with like 2000 rms? I know the old XXX was like 1600 rms.

XBL^2 coils are short -- the closest you will get is the old XXX. Longest coil on a production XBL driver that I know of.

we may find out today what this can handle if I decide to recone it.....

maelstroms anyone? Only available in 18, and 21s though. Will handle 2k+ though

I have a CSS SDX motor that is XBL^2.. if reconed with proper parts it will take 3k+.

what all would be needed?

I'm not really the person to talk to about that, someone else could help here..

but I'd assume maybe a flatwound coil, stiff suspension & stronger cone..

Correct, the UL12 uses MMAG, which is still a split gap design, but in MMAG instead of using a single piece of steel with a rebate or 2 pieces sandwiched with a rebate they uses 2 thinner pieces of steel with no rebate and put a magnet in between the 2 top plates to form the rebate, hence MMAG - Multiple Magnet Air Gap.

If you do that haven't you just created another generic high power handing woofer?

Somewhat, but the motor would still be XBL^2 lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

If the stock coil is roundwire you might increase thermal power handeling by using an edge or flat wound coil.. but you'd never reach the levels the OP is asking about without changing the wind width (which would mess up the XBL^2)
