how can the XXX take so many watts, when my brahma 12 can only take ~600 with a 1.5 ^3 ft box. I'm running a 1100 on my brahma and it doesn't handle it.

mabye your gains are set unproperly.

josh tuned it for me. i'm thinking i should build a smaller box so i can actually utilize my wattage. what would you rather have. A 1.5 with 600~ or .85 with 1100?

in other words my sub shouldn't be making the rattling noise it is when it hits a hard note?

Is a 15" XXX rated at 1600rms..? How well would it do with about 1300 sent to it..?

you're looking at a very minimal gain in output from 1100 to 1400....

WTF no it shouldnt. ur brahmas still ****ed up dude.

anyways i think the 1100 would be good enough for the XXX. Put it in a ported box and it will get loud as shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
