Umm...that past 1/2 RMS the OUTPUT of the sub is minimally larger. Sure, 100% RMS will be louder but the numbers show what I'm saying. Past 2/3 of a driver's Xmax the driver runs out of torque. Now, XBL^2 technology changes this a little but once you get past the linear Xmax of those subs the BL curve falls off like a stone. And once you are past 30mm of excursion, trying to get more out of it is kind of useless, don't you think?.
No.
Xmag is literally the motor limitation @ 71% of BL at rest.
2/3rds of it's Xmag rating is still PLENTY of motor force. Even at the Xmag mark, there is a LOT of usuable motor remaining.
I didn't use Xmax, because some drivers are sus limited, most aren't these days though - so we'll assume Xmag = Xmax.
