didnt want to copy xdrkmanx and i herd a Brahma 15 could do pretty well with less power than its RMS, dunno about XXX

 

[Zinthesis 10+ year member]

so really the XXX 18" iz one of the loudest subs out there for this price range?

I chose my xxx 15 over a brahma 15 because....1)has more cone area

2)it's more linear

that does not make my XXX any better than a brahma,brahma has it's advantages too....

1)lighter moving mass

2)lighter sub

In my eye's I would use the brahma for a daily driver

both are xbl2, have extemely strong low, end and SQ,my EDA15.22 AE has nothing on my XXX 15 low end I MEAN NOTHING,ported or sealed.

just wanted to drop some poinions and facts.

I don't think that the XXX has more cone area than the Brahma. I think they both use the same surround just RE specs their SD different IIRC.
I would choose the XXX for looks only because I have a van but if I had a car I would get the Brahmas.

I also chose the XXX because of the looks. If the Brahma had a smooth cone as well, I would be all over one!

What if you owned an El Camino?

hmmm...since the xxx and brahma share the same surround. is it possible to remove the dust cap of the brahma and replace with the inverted dust cap of the xxx? would it alter the performance of a brahma to an audible level? because it would be pretty nice to have the performance of the brahma with the looks of an xxx.

I don't know if I would even put subs in there. I wouldn't get a EL Camino anyway LOL.

Forget looks for a second, What would sound better?

1-15" XXX with 1600 watts

or

1-15" Brahma with 1600 watts?

yes it would change the performance. plus, why in the world would you buy two woofers, and destroy them both so that you can have one look different? if it is that much of an issue invert the **** thing and call it a day.

 

[imready77 10+ year member]

he wouldn't have to destroy 2 woofers he could probably order a dustcap from RE.

I wouldn't even bother with the dustcap on the brahma just do what hoss says and invert it if you don't like the looks.

XXX is more comparable to a timult

The XXX is designed for home audio use?
