How Does The HC Compair To The XXX?

The XXX handles more power, and has more displacement potential. I realize the XXX loses a bit due to efficiency (thanks to XBL^2), but Id be interested to hear why people think the HC would be louder, and how they came to that conclusion.
And I understand where you are coming from jemorgan, but using 'we all like different things' to try to say a driver that clearly outputs more distortion (the HC) sounds 'better' isnt really fair. Its true some people find the amazingly low distortion output of XBL^2 enabled drivers a little weird, because we get use to the distortion inherant in any non-BL optimized setup, but the truth is the driver is actually reproducing the sound more accurately. IMO that should be the subjective definition of what SQ is, not what each person's personal preference is. Many things in SQ cant be defined scientifically (width and depth of the soundstage, realism of vocals, etc) , but this is one of the few things that can: distortion output. All other things being equal, the XXX outputs less distortion than does the HC. And this difference in distortion increases as cone excursion increases (the XXX winning out). But please do not take this as a knock on your personal preference.

Lastly, there have been quite a few threads on the boards, is the SX louder than the XXX, does it sound better, etc. Now some people are even saying the HC beats the XXX. I think there is a good reason RE charges twice as much for a XXX as it does the HC, XBL^2 and higher excursion (on the XXX) aren't just marketing gimmicks.
Xbl^2 doesn't make it less efficient.

 
He was using RMS as a comparision basis based on the fact that mechanical power handling would be box dependent and vary greatly.
Thank you for speaking on his behalf, that cleared it up, lol.

Stop running around spouting off stuff you read on the internet because you think it makes you look smart and feel cool.............OK?
Atleast the quotes in your sig demonstrate that you have good taste in music, so I'll cut you some slack on that asinine statement.

He agreed with me that that is what he meant:p:

I retract the "spouting off" comment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Nope, the seXXX will spank the HC in SPL alignments.

Thats the reason they ditched the HC for the SX. The SX is louder than the seXXX's and is on virtual parity with the HC when it comes to SQ.

 
Why no one has run both subs? Jee power Hx2's are louder than Punch Hx2's. The SX is louder than the RE. Its common sense dummy.
