Couldn't dig up any comparison with them so i figured ill post and see if anybody has any experiences with them.

Which will be louder and sound good doing it? I'm open for other suggestion also, trying to decide by tonite

They are now dual 2 Ohm configs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

so the one on SSA website is dual 2ohms?

Yes. They just don't know it yet. There is no more stock of single 4 Ohm units so we move into the dual 2's. Just haven't notified Aaron about it.

in case you don't know mrogowski is the owner of Mach 5 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

im fairly certain the ixl is going to be louder than the Q. the Q is loud but also aimed towards sq.

The IXL was designed to fulfill the needs of Infinite Baffle home theatre folks. When it was released, it exceeded the expectations of many. It now occupies a place with people who like to build large EBS enclosures for HT.

Lately, folks like yourselves have been taking a liking in them for larger car audio installs where they want good low end. I therefore decided to split the coil and offer a dual 2 Ohm impedance for those with low impedance rated amps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh, and pure output was never part of the equation when designing them...

i do know all. now if i was only likeable.

i see... carry on then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
