[QUOTE="The_Quiet_One, post: 8595413, member: 614562"] XBL^2 wasn't exclusively used by Adire even though Adire was Dan Wiggin's company. RE and Ascendant Audio both had XBL^2 drivers at that time. David Moore is intimately familiar with XBL^2 drivers as a result. If it's not really some random prototype or one off I agree on the 85 lbs and 4" VC. The weight does seem a tad high, and unless someone completely redid the machining on the top plate and ferrite (which is incredibly unlikely) it's a 3" coil. It could use an "oversized" 3" coil that had a higher WW than stock, but that means you're not going to get any of the benefit from the XBL^2 motor. Matter of fact you would be as well off using a smaller traditional overhung motor because the split in the top plate means you take a hit in magnetic flux. If the 4" is in reference to the WW your sub is going to be horribly inefficient due to the increased moving mass even if it technically does have a higher power handling than stock. OP it's hard to say what's it worth anymore. A few years ago you could have got a couple hundred just for the motor pretty easy, but custom sub building has really died off. You could always wait for the right person to come along and buy it. Unfortunately, I've got enough motors collecting dust and rust as is. I personally would give you 125 shipped for the motor alone and that's assuming it's in good condition, but I really don't want it nor need it and it's a huge PITA to ship motors cheaply and safely. If CACO didn't require a subscription to sell I would suggest trying to sell it over there. There's also a couple facebook groups that focus on sub building, but I haven't been on them recently enough to say if they are still active or not. [/QUOTE]
