[QUOTE="Warbleed, post: 605338, member: 549898"] Remember guys, there is LOUD in two different senses: 1) High SPL at a single frequency in a high tuned ported box 2) High SPL across the driver's usable bandwidth, say 20-80Hz The MT is the loudest for condition 1, but it is NOT the loudest for condition two. It was never DESIGNED to be loudest in condition two. So, if you are looking for SPL has in loud over a wide range of frequencies, I'd recommend getting the XXX. If you want it to fart loudly for an SPL competition, get the MT, because that is precisely what it is designed to do. Hence the fact that it's suspension and coil configuration are customizable, so they best suit a given SPL install. Bottom line: For music, even loud music, the XXX is a better choice than the MT, and will far more effectively convert power into output, and will do so with FAR less distortion than the MT. RE will tell you the same thing. The MT is a purpose built woofer. It CAN play music, but that's not really what it's designed for, and certainly not the application which suits it best. [/QUOTE]
