[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2381105, member: 549629"] God, not this again. XXX is NOT an SPL sub, its an SQL sub. You know, one that gets 90% as loud as an SPL sub while maintaining very good SQ. The SX is what RE called their 'street beater', basically made as a loud dailydriver sub that retains 'good' SQ. The SX has been shown to burp louder than the XXX, but the test criteria has been debated back and forth. My conclusion? The XXX was not receiving its ideal power (needed more) while the SX was (just about all it could handle). But, even given that, the SX does have a notorious peak in output, that when coupled with the enclosure's tuning point and the vehicle's resonant freq, can be quite loud. Where the debate usually turns nasty is when people assume this means the SX is 'louder', period... its not. It peaks louder, but playing a full frequency spectrum the subs would endure while playing music, the XXX has alot more displacement potential and will be louder on average. Hope that clears that up.
