[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7289629, member: 622908"] The greatest factor I was thinking about to xmax is pertained to power handling. More often than not, larger cones have larger spiders, longer vcs, and more handling. This all equates to a longer throw for more displacement. This eventually slows down how fast the cone can move peak to peak making it 'slower' than smaller subs because instead of pitching on a 45' mound, you moved to 60'. You'd have to move faster just to reach the plate at the same time. If you aren't 'reaching the plate' by the time the next note hits, the cone gets forced the other way before it's actually done with the first note. This is where that muddiness comes in. Again, I'll agree that often this is caused by poor box or power, but it gets increasingly harder to do this correct in larger subs for bands that the drummer has double-tap pedals and is putting out 20-25 beats in a second.
