I doubt the going rate will change much, considering this new subwoofer is really in no way comparable to the old XXX. It's a totally different sub, just happens to share the same name. Not like it's a "slightly upgraded" version, which would make the older ones less desireable. It's a whole new darned impractical sub.

Thats more like it.

Will you guys quit saying things like this please, nobody knows anything about the new drivers, to insist that they are impractical, is illogical....before they come out at least.

Impractical? Way to make sense buddy. This is a car audio enthusiast forum. How can, apparently an enthusiast, call something like this impractical? That is like a home theatre buff calling a 60" Plasma impractical b/c he already bought a 50".

Since when did more performance become impractical?

Two words;

Mounting depth.

Tis true.

Most mention of that is pertaining to the amount of power and enclosure size you'll need though, which really isn't known to any certainty, outside of RE, yet.

How can you look at that sub and not see the word impractical? Im quite hopeful about the new XXX/MX, but even I have to admit that they are not practical speakers. Squeak's two words dexcribe one known problem with the driver, I have two more words: inductance and efficiency. Even an 'enthusiast' can call a subwoofer impractical if it takes 5kwts to get it moving much. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Parthenon: possibly the baddest *** subwoofer on the planet.... but still impractical as all hell.

If I sold the mags and got a custom coil configuration I could use one and get it moving quite well.... but I'm not.

My deffintion of an impractical Subwoofer... One with a mounting depth near 2 feet, the cost of the subwoofer and the power needed to push it respectably, reaching in upwards of 1500 dollars. A suround that is more like a bicycle inertube than a speaker suround and needing a forklift to load it into the enclosure. Now I will admit that the New XXX will be a bad *** woofer, but when does one draw the LINE. a perfect example of this is the new RL-s...A hell of a HT sub but really not all that practical when it comes to puting one in a vehicle. I think that RE would of had alot more sucess just upgrading the older version, It was an outstanding Car audio sub, now basically what they have made is IMHO is there version of the MTX jackhammer.
