[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 3045937, member: 570419"] Not really. If you're just looking to get loud on a meter, the sub's max linear excursion is not the one and only place to look. At and around tuning, the sub sees a large resistance in the enclosure which limits cone movement. In order to increase output at and around tuning, you need a sub with a ton of motor strength (high BL and low Qes are two specs to look for). If the sub has all the excursion in the world but a weak ass motor, that excursion isn't going to mean jack ****. When you're close to the tuning frequency of the enclosure, your main source of output is from the port itself so you want a sub that can really drive the enclosure to resonate. tl;dr: If you're looking for a sub to just get loud, look for something with a low Qts, low Qes, high BL, low Mms, high power handling, and stiff suspension. Xmax should not really be a huge concern. [/QUOTE]
