May be going with an AB XFL 12"... Should I be thinking bigger?

Not sure prolly haven't updated the site in a while but they have to be bought thru an authorized dealer

Do you have one on hand? I would love a pic of it, I can't find ANYTHING online of it. It's ridiculous.

The AQ is better than the 'nendo, when I say better I mean puts out more power throughout the entire voltage range. Do a search, TaylorFade has done testing. The Crescendo isn't a bad amp though, just the AQ trumps it.

To touch on the original question, should I just pick up an AB XFL 12? Or is it worth it to get the 15" or something else?

Anyone?

Since you skipped my first answer, how much space you have to for a box will determine the biggest size sub you can run. Go take measurements.

I don't have my tape measure but I know I could fit a 15" in there, so long as the box isn't exteremely wide

The net/gross airspace is what matters, so take measurements when you can. But if you can fit a 15, why not do that then. Or 2 12's if you can.

ok i talked to bob at ab this morning ,the xfl 15 is available in a d2 ,new version,. he also said that if you want the ab warranty that giant car stereo ,dc audiotronics and all the other online sellers for ab equipment are not under warranty .i am the only person that he has authorized to sell on the forums only his equipment .he also said that most of the ebay equipment is very old stock and or refurbished and some even damaged .he will be posting up on his website all of the names of the non authorized internet sellers to help everyone recognize these guys.

So Bob is ok with internet sales again? I thought he was ditching that because dealers were getting upset with the ability of their clients to purchase online and cheaper prices.

why set on the aq2200D? ever looked into the crescendo audio bc2000d? same as the aq2200D just a little cheaper (if your buying new). They come from the same build house and the boards are pretty much the same. might let you spend a little extra on the sub if you went with the bc2000d over the aq2200d since they are pretty much the same.

they are not the same same build house means nothing different componets and higher wattage board on aq

Makes a little since. It is a catch fire situation though, I'm sure Bob knows that already and has a plan of sorts.
