IIRC, Xmech is the mechanical Travel of the subwoofer (think peak to peak) and Xmax is the usable travel of the subwoofer

xmech tells you far far the suspension physically moves. Xmax is how far the coil can physically move out of the gap before a driver loses 30% of it's resting BL value. Xsus is the limit the motor can physically move the the coil.
