The real power handling of an XL


Recommended Posts

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'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...

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...

This is what I was getting to....are you talking about running a clamped at the sub 3,500 at the sub or you talking like 3.5k amp then as stated above after rise etc... You'd be more like 2.5-3k

my teammate is running roughly 3k a piece on his XLs, and I feel that they are basically maxxed out...but that is CLAMPED 3k...

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.

lol no you dont. mt team mate ran an SD12k to a pair of XLs and ive been doing two 3ks at .5ohm for several months. nothing special about the spiders. in fact, my box is rather large.

yes, as long as you are smart, the XL will take a 3.5k amp just fine.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
