XXX vs. MX

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

So the O5XXX is better? Better SQ? Better than an 06XXX? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No, the 05 XXX vs 06 MX.

I am not up on the terminology of the stuff you guys are talking about there so maybe you can break it down for me.

It does seem though:

05XXX > 06MX

06XXX > O5XXX or O6MX

I think.

Sounds quality of the 05 xxx is better than the 06+ IMHO. The 06 is a beastly sql driver that loves to get low.

06's use split coil not xbl^2

You can do XBL^2 with multiple coils, and I am rather sure that is still what that driver is using. Pretty sure they just chose to stop calling it XBL^2 in the design, which Adire gives you the right to do when you license the technology.

Yep...but people are stupid/ignorant if they think it can. Saying that the MX is a better SQ driver than the XXX just shows that the person making the claim lacks a fundamental understanding of the gross difference in capabilities of the two designs.

I've had both, I also agree with the other members. I think the MX has superior accuracy over the '05 XXX. After the older XXX's suspension loosened up, it was worthless imo. So, I guess I'm stupid and ignorant.

 

[Ryan Autry 10+ year member]

They do sound decent...and can be used for SPL...some people use them. I totally agree.
But it's nowhere near a SQ sub.

tuan

No, not an SQ sub, but I don't consider the '05 XXX an SQ sub either.

 

[Ryan Autry 10+ year member]

No one said you cannot like the sound of the MX over the old XXX, but that has nothing to do with the fact that the XXX is without any question the more accurate driver of the two.

lol, maybe spec for spec, but not in real world application. And this is opinion is coming from a someone who has been an RE Dealer for 5 years and install countless number of both the XXX and MX's. This is also coming from the dealer that "Beta" tested the XXX and MX for 6 weeks before it was release to anyone else in the country. But my opinion is worthless because as stated before, I'm stupid and ignorant.

If the spider became too loose to effectively control the coil, that could be an issue, otherwise an increase in Cms wouldn't do much but reduce Fs, Qes, and Qts.

Again, I'm not talking about who likes what better. It is a scientific fact that barring a grossly misaligned or damaged driver, the XXX will have lower distortion and more linear output than the MX.

Somehow I have trouble believing your ears violate the laws of physics.

I'm talking after maybe 20-30hours of play, useless... For accuracy at least.

nice to seeim not the only stupid person in the post //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Great, lower distortion at what listening levels. At normal listening levels neither of the subs are moving far enough to distort. Plus, when does output have anything to do with SQ? When I'm setting up a true SQ vehicle, finding which sub will have more output never comes to mind.

Come again?....
