[QUOTE="mrray13, post: 694420, member: 540942"] i have to agree. in this app, the xxx suffered trying to get low...sounded suffocated. i don't understand the recommending of .8ft^3 when it is definitely not in the subs best sq interests. again, i agree......the rl-p does a wonderful job shaking everything in the car in this enclosure, while again, the xxx sounded like it was suffocating. i believe a larger box will cure this..or a ported one. three different sets of ears...radio cranked...all agreed on two things...the rl-p played lower and both subs sound awesome everywhere else. in all honesty, other then the low end, there just isn't that much difference. the xxx seemed to play louder, to two of us, but that was it. u know, i would say the xxx was a little crisper at higher freqs, but it was muddier at lower ones...again, i'd say box dependant. to most people, like my wife, there is absolutely no difference in sq other then the rl-p playing lower in this application. not yet, but like i stated above..i'm going to leave the xxx in the box for awhile and in a few days or so, update the review. all in all..both are excellent subs....budget and space are going to be the biggest considerations...lower budget or tighter confines..take the rl-p little more money, more room and more power..take the xxx both are excellent subs..both are great to have. in the case of my wife not wanting to lose much trunk space, the xxx suffers from the small box and the rl-p wins. i am going to be building a ported enclosure and testing both in my pickup..hehe same power (750wrms @ 4ohm) though i might just wire to one ohm(though my amp isn't one ohm stable) and throw 3000wrms at them.....for just a minute..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
