ya i knew i was prolly wrong. i just havnt heard of anyone running them really and they are way cheaper than the others. in my experience you usually get what you pay for to a certain degree.

mach5 is the exception to the rule. I wanna get 2 15" IXL as soon as i get the cash

the ixl has a lower xmax and less cone area than all the above subs, which are 2 major components to moving lots of air. that's why they kinda turn me off at the moment

in the box you have right now? I doubt if it does

don't go by just T/S parameters. Those do not tell the whole story. Xmax is not the most important //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Go with the 15's man; simply the best choice overall.

How so? I have used 10's that have gotten lower than many 15's and 18's. Aura NS-10 and a prototype 10" with a 3hp motor that I have gets VERY low.

To the OP, I was very pleased with my 18" RL-p in 5 cubes sealed. A 15" would get plenty low as well. If you have the power and room, go with a TC 5200 or 5400.

That is just the TC route. The IXL seems like it can get the job done as well, as with several other drivers out there. It all depends on how much room you want to take up, how low you really want to get, how loud you want to get, how much power you will be giving them, etc.

To give you an idea, I had my 18" RL-p, granted the t/s parameteres were probably slightly skewed since one coil was dead, it was seeing 2,000w (rf t30001bd @ 2 ohms) in 5 cubes sealed in my '01 Accord sedan. I was doing around 137 dB @ 32 Hz on music. It get VERY low and got quite darn loud. The sub doesn't need all that much power either, 1200 -1500 is plenty. Also, my box was a little on the small side for the 18, I would love to have put it in at least 6 cubes, though 7 cubes sealed would be much better.

I would agree that 18" would be nice, but then he'd have it sealed. Ported would be louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

i kid, i kid

i'd LOVE a 5200, but i cant find one. im lookin at about 11 cubes max and in the future might add a HO alternator and another 2000w amp.

hoods run down only goes down to around 22hz

22>20

And even if it did go down lower than 20hz your sub still can't hit it because of

1) the SSF would not allow it to play that low(assuming you have that)

2) the sub would bottom out.

I could be wrong, but i'm certain that i'm not.

certainly is a nice choice, perhaps i should've kept mine lol
