What the hell makes this Type E so loud

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Since the type E is the lowest of the line, I dont understand how it can get so loud. It would be lucky to see a 150watts, and its a 12'' in a 4.1 cube box ported at 45hz. Its loud as balls and rivals my ttwo 10'' tc7s off 1300watts.

How can this sub be so **** loud? I mean I realized tuning is really high but still for this sub its nuts. Its not normal.... is it really just tuning that makes all the difference? Makes me wonder what an R or an AQ SDC2.5 12'' would do in it off 800/900.

an oversized box means power is more efficient, to a degree...

that 150 watts may act like 600 if the box is big enough/designed well

Exactly.

This is one reason why people have so much luck with the R's; they are very efficient.
