[QUOTE="Spkrman, post: 1101803, member: 548682"] The XXX is going to average lower SPL numbers over the range... perhaps that will appear louder? Yea, the SX WILL be more peaky, and it probably will peak at a higher note in the *same* box. Are we talking about the same box here? no... we are talking about both woofs being in optimal enclosures. The SX is going to need a larger box to effeciantly tune low... but it does effeciantly tune low if you know what your doing. Sorry if I sound too objective to ya... but the meter doesn't lie [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG]. In a direct swap, the XXX may appear louder because it will be at a lower note, but that doesn't mean the SX can't be made to achieve higher SPL at that lower note in a different box. Agreed on the XXX spanking the SX sealed... the SX is a crappy sealed woof, on top of displacement being a bigger factor sealed. I've never thrown big power at a sealed XXX or SX, but displacement is king sealed, and the XXX sure as hell sounds better sealed. "Appearing" louder and BEING louder are 2 different things. Enjoying the sound of the XXX more than the SX is one thing.. saying its "louder" without a meter just isn't gonna work. [/QUOTE]
