has anyone noticed how all the new SPL subs have low efficiency. like xxx, w7, and 9500 (mtx).

also the xxx has XBL^2 technolgy, which is similar to orion's new Orion Dual Gap Motor except it was made before orion's version and all... in any case dual gaps with a short coil allow for something of a class AB speaker... the coil is shared by the 2 gaps for part of the excursion. the result is that the BL curve becomes pretty flat and very wide. this reduces IMD and increases Xmax.
 
No one buys a RE XXX 18 for a nice response. You only buy that one for a HUGE SPL.... nothing more, nothing less.

Indeed, you will get a pretty weird response, but you only need the peak it will have with the "correct" tuning.

Grtz, Joris

P.S. With "correct" I mean the right tuning for your car. DON'T use it for home-cinema or music.
P.S. You might also be interested in the DigitalDesigns 9515??
 
Slightly OT but the guys question has been answered..
has anyone noticed how all the new SPL subs have low efficiency
small box requirements...
Definately.its crazy.
the adire audio Maelstrom looks agreeable to me.
or a 4ohm version of this-
21" sub
