so basically you dont want to have to work on anything or sacrifice room, but get better performance by simply dropping something different in?

Ive got another xxx 18 I need gone that would like those parameters sealed

 

[g30ffr3y 10+ year member]

inhuman... youve put a very fine point on it... but basically... yes...

but more complicatedly... [if thats a word] no...

im willing to do some work... im willing to build the correct box for

the new sub... its just a matter of finding a sub that i can reasonably

fit and give the space it wants...

theres no reason for me to swap amps... the viper works just fine

and i know my car can deal with it...

i know that 18" XXX is not going to fit sir... you are funny...

I've got a sub that sounds extremely nice and it's in 2.2 cubes sounding great and getting loud. If you're interested in a trade, I'd consider it. I've got a 15A in case you didn't know that...spectacular SQ and it gets louder than I need it in all honesty. I'd really like to try the xxx too, so let me know if you're interested in trying to figure something out.

 

[g30ffr3y 10+ year member]

i think a straight up trade on the ed sub vs the XXX is a little

lobsided...

what are the specs on the 15A... and has the cone popped off it

or whatever happens to those???

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'd be willing to throw in some cash too most likely. They are rated at 1000 watts in ported, and I think 1400 sealed if I remember correctly. I'm running it with a bx1000d and I haven't had a problem yet. The joint breaking was a problem, but it was exaggerated a lot...there were a few cases that really got thrown around a lot. It's still under warrantee, for umm.....a year from this july, so about a year and a half.

that is something i would consider since i know that i at least like

the old ed O series...

do you have a pic... does it just look like a flat cone O???

is that box ported???

 

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

Box is ported, I forget that I took everything out of my sig as of lately...here's what I've got:

bx1000d at 1 ohm

2.2cubes ported at 32ish Hz (may be more like 33, it's close)

Flat cone

If you like the O series, you'll love the A.

Pictures are in my gallery unless they disappeared.

today is your lucky day my friend. sell that XXX to somone for $300 and buy this

http://www.ascendantaudio.com/Avalanche%2015.htm

2.2cubes sealed will get yourself bass that rivlas (or betters) the adire tumult, this sub will play all the way up its bandwith with no faults, and down to 15hz with a rumbling sensation you wouldnt believe.

i read a 6 page review on the sucker. and the guy knows his stuff. straight head to head on 1000w with the tumult vs. avalanche.

i am getting one of these this summer. you can bet on that. id be comfertable with 1kw (rated at 800w) in 2.2 cubes. and its WAY more efficent than both the brahma and the XXX. closer to how the RL-P performs with lower wattages.

i want one now. i want a box that fits in my trunk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bawling.gif.6287aa5d1d447c8af063fc9466e822ef.gif

but is it more of a HT sub than a car audio sub... also... what kind

of space would it need ported???

 

[BiaBia 10+ year member]

What about an SX? 1000w to that and you should love it. Or get two 12'' SEs

good call sir... but as crazy as it may sound... ive had 2 12" SEs

back in september/october... i sold them and eventually ended

up with this 15" XXX...

the SX is too SPL for me...

im burnt on RE for now...

Some of the early (first production run) had a problem with the T-joints coming apart under stress, this is a function of the flat cone design and the unique stresses it places on that triple joint...once the aluminum backing was put on, the problem more or less went away. The funny thing about it is that the other flat cone models never really had a problem with the triple joint - the 15A got the bad rap for it about a year ago, though.

Trust me, if you liked the e12o, the 15A will be bliss for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

youre an ED fan correct??? do you have an A series??? i thought

it was you and another forum member that got me hooked on that

flat cone...

the 15A that im looking at is from the second production run i think?!?!?

alright...

heres where im at i think...

RL-p

ed 15A

ascendant avalanche

maybe i should make a poll... depending on box the avalanche may

get das boot!!! but im not sure yet...

Despite what I've heard from people, the sx doesn't really sound that great...actually I was quite disappointed when I head my brother's. It gets loud, but no SQ IMHO.
