MX 15" vs. XXX 12"(both 06)

[audiom3 10+ year member]

Just curious guys which will get louder off 2000w from a hifonics herc? What I really need to know is if the xxx just wouldnt have enough power to get louder than the MX. Just looking for a little input from those of you with expirience thanks

That is kinda good to hear so I dont have to spend as much for the xxx and I will save some weight. I would run more wattage but an upgraded alt is $650 or so because I have an import.

I noticed that some of RE's subs have the same symbols as some elements on the periodic table.....RE, SE, MT just to name a few.....

Some odd reason I thought it did. Nevermind.

lol pretty interesting observation

I would go with the MX probably but the XXX is a very good sub, just too much SQ for my tastes, I like a little more spl than sq

The only company that I have heard of that makes them for my car (mazda3) is H.O. and they want 650 for a 170amp alt but I will take a look around to see what else is out there. And another thing can you run a herc at .5ohms daily or will that kill it because I just realized the MX's i was looking at are dual 1ohm:crap: Or should I jsut go with 2 1000w amps one on a coil?

i would do the 2 amp, one per coil, rather than running the herc low, and risk blowing your amp, or sub, do to the higher distortion or clipping, of the amp being low

 

[BIGsherm7272]

well, hercs are known to take .5 fine, but you would need a good electrical. Plus, they are so rare now its not worth blowing one. just get a crossfire VR2000D and call it a day.

the MX is more musical than the XXX..........more SQ oriented. It doesnt hit the lows like the XXX will......

The MX more musical, u sure:eyebrow: I thought the XXX was made to be balls out lowend sqL and the MX more SPL

Either way, 15" MX should get a little louder if you have the room for it. I would run 2 XXX's if I had the space:crap:
