that isn't really a good competition. I mean think about it. The HX2 is basically an entry level driver that costs 150 and the XXX is a top of the line driver that costs 400...

Entry level in the Car Audio world or for Rockford Fosgate? It's top of the line from RF and its not really too low in the Car Audio world either. Where can you find Power HX2's for $150? Last time I checked they were a lot higher than that

I've heard two 15" RF's and they were louder than @#%$ for what i've heard. it was in this buddies yukon.

But the xxx 15's are way better? Like could 1 15" xxx take on two 15" rf's

Well technically two 15's will be louder than one. And in this case, I would probably the 2 RF's would win, simply because they are very dirty and get very loud. You do a comparison between a single 15" HX2 and a single 15" XXX and I think it would be closer...the XXX would come out on top in SQ and probably SPL also.

yea hx2's are not all that bad. they are the worst sounding things ever im sure but they are pretty **** big drivers and they can get really loud. i would still really rather have an xxx tho. power hx2's are expensive, punch hx2's arent

eh a friend of mine found them somewhere for like 175. And he put them in a blazer and they actually didn't sound half bad in SQ. In my experience the HX2's are still pretty low on the competition levels. I know this for a fact, one XXX 15" at 25% power can keep up with 2 HX2's 12" at full power, and i think that the competition between the XXX 15" and 2 HX2 15" would be closer than you all think...
