The real power handling of an XL


Recommended Posts

Not going to recommend it but if you know what you are doing and can properly scope your entire system from HU to amps and make sure it is PERFECTLY CLEAN POWER, you will be pushing them to their absolute daily limit. Also a custom spider pack will be needed to help handle all of the extra power.

I'm sure I'll get corrected but clay from the A team has done a ton and I mean a TON of testing with the XLs and supposedly a stock XL can take 3K with the right box and user... Supposedly anything above 3K just generates heat..... An jeff is running close to 5k on each of his (2 1100.1s on 4 XLs) but he's got an upgraded spider pack (assortment of soft and mediums) that if Iirc was advised by clay...

Are they 18s?

I saw a walled explorer walled with 4 XL 18s on a sundown 3500d on each sub

I think the guy is 91explorer on here and he said the subs handled it good

He has 9 XL twelves on 6 sundown 4500d now

There are alot of thing that have to be done right and done by someone that knows exactly what they are doing but it can be done. But remember that if you fry the coil, that is on you and not on the company that made the sub.

I was just going through all this with my rebuild asking the same questions... Till be around 3,500 per sub before rise but true clamped power will be more like 2,500 or so per sub....

the XL is louder than a lvl 5 up to 3kw, but the XL can handle 3.5kw...

OP if ur wanting to buy a 3.5k amp id go for the XL>5, after rise & voltage drop u will prolly see <3kw from the amp...
