XXX compared to _____ review

[CELLERBR 10+ year member]

What would everyone like to see a 15xxx compared to? I am thinking of buying another 15" super sub....They will both get right aroun 1500wrms, compared in a sealed box (around 2 cubes) and a low tuned ported box (around 4 cubes @ 28hz). It will be a detailed review of SQ and SPL although the spl will have to be done by "ear" b/c I have no means of using a meter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . There will be me and 2 friends I will know which woofer is which at the time of the test, however my buddies will not know which one is which at the time of testing so they will be completely biased. The vehicle will be a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with the whole cargo area edeaded..

Woofer must be able to be had for less then $450 new or used, be a "super sub" and be comprable to the XXX physically so that the same boxes for each can be used. Also must be available in dual 2 ohm.

Some I am considering:

Diamond audio D9 15 dual 2

Orion H2 15 dual 2

ED e15a (as there are a few for sale on the forum) dual 2

Adire audio Brahma 15 (if I can find one)

Alpine type R 15 D2 (maybe not a super sub but getting a lot of attention)

Would do an Sound splinter RL-p 15 but it does not come in dual 2

any others you guys would like to see against the XXX? Remember only one sub can be compared as I am not made of money!

Poll will close after 7 days...

Take the eD A off the list...cannot touch the XXX in any category possible...as well as the H2.

What about a MTX 9500? I think something mainstream would be a good idea...

i have a lightning audio subwoofer. its a 15". i'll let you have it for say....350$ shipped. Whats different is that i spray painted the whole thing black and hand painted "XXXX" on there in nice white.. Clearly, 4 X's are better than 3.
