Back when I was really into it....I did a drop in test with my hcca 15 and my xxx 15. Same box, same amp(s), same everything and with 1200 watts the hcca was a full db louder. With 2400 to each it was still louder but not as much. This was on an audiocontrol sensor at a local shopive been told that hcca's put L7's to shame and the RE SExxx to shame.
