You reconed the XXX? It has a pretty large topplate

Only good xxx was the v1 that battled with the Brahma.. Good times went from two Armageddon 12's to a pair of adires what a change. Took me weeks to pick between the adire or the re.. Ole shredder gave them hell. Loved that setup even a decade plus later.

Not sure if you're referring to me but mine isn't reconed. It seems like it's more of an anomaly. I posted a link to the testing that someone did on it. I'm loving mine but the only thing that I can compare it to is the jbl w15gti which it replaced. The xxx sounds 10 times louder with all the sq. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've never heard of any of those drivers disturbed. I'm from Langley bc and the car audio scene out here must be small. There's a lot of hertz, alpine, audison. I've never been to a car stereo show in my life. Maybe should start looking for some around here.

So tell me this then, in your opinion, what do you suggest? Just curious.

Thanks. Looks like a descent driver. Looks like they only recommend a porter box. Their 18 calls for 7-8 cubes. My enclosure is part of the car. The spare tire well was cut out, dropped and all glassed in with the half box bolted on top. Very odd shapes and rounded into nooks and crannies. Not much chance of getting an accurate volume. Plus I prefer the sound of sealed. I want to keep my backseat so not going any bigger on box size.

That fi sounds nice. Too bad it's low power rating. My amp is 2400 rated at 2 ohms. Doesn't have a 1 ohm rating but someone said they clamped at 3600. The person I bought it from was using it at 1 ohm. I'm guessing a solid 3k. If I ever was going to change subs I would give it a go at 1 ohm so probably would need a sub rated at 2500ish.

Your almost never going to get 1ohm rated power out of a dual 2 ohm woofer. Chances are the lowest load you will get is 2.2 ohm..
