Their spiders and surrounds are stiff to protect them from overexcursion, hence making them poor choices for the nuances in bass dynamics. Even if the sub is put into a sealed enclosure for better control, the suspension is still the same. Now this is just what I have read from other users and articles. Nothing like real world testing to dispel your curiosity.  As for the distortion after a certain volume, I have experienced a similar issue in all my setups. I run mostly sealed enclosures and noticed that past a certain volume, I do not have an audible gain in bass. Instead, I get more cone movement and truck shaking. I believe that is wasted energy, so I never push my subs near their rms rating.</blockquote>
