Giving the RE XXX another Try *Pic*

over or undershoot is not appropriate for speakers... you can't overshoot a sinwave input, you can play it louder (higher acceleration due to higher sensitivity or power) or softer (opposite) or you can have a distorted waveform from non-linearity (many kinds of that that range from suspension, BL, etc.) Note: inductance is NOT distortion, but we can have non-linear inductors which invoke distortion - very difference concept. Keep in mind, any time you put a low pass crossover on your sub, you're adding the same thing an inductor does. Generally the inductance of a speaker motor is not that linear and we really want to eliminate it from the network or minimize it or avoid frequencies that is affects for that reason.

Makes sense, didn't think of it that way at first, but that is true I suppose. Inductance linearity is the key factor vs a low inducatance then. Sort of like how a high BL isn't always desireable, yet a constant stable BL vs excursion plot is almost always a good thing, as in xbl^2 or a split coil design?

lmao. I wish I just had a XXX lying around in "storage."

Yeah . . . LOL And wire it to detonate on 20,000 watts ! Sorry, but I am not a fan either. RE Audio like many other companies quit making quality products quite a few years ago !//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif
