What can you learn from the subs specs? Can you tell if it's more of a sq/spl sub? What can help determine a all around sub compared to one thats strictly spl for example? This may be a dumb question or may not even be possible but there are sub specs that I look at and have no idea what they mean.

These are a few I am curious about and are taken from my RE XXX 15".

  • Force Factor -Bl: 18.16
  • Electrical Q Value -Qes: 0.58
  • Mechanical Q Value -Qms: 3.62
  • Total Speaker Q Value -Qts: .501
  • Free Air Resonance -Fs: 19.10 Hz
  • Equivalent Compliance -Vas: 207.0 liters
  • One-Way, Linear Excursion -Xmax: 54 mm
  • Efficiency - SPL 1W/1m: 85.81 dB SPL
  • Effective Piston Area -Sd: 810 cm^2

Ty sir, did not know that. I feel like the sub gets loud but only on certain songs. Coulda been the way I made the box too though

it does get very loud especially for an SQL speaker

From my experience with them, the 12's like ~4^3ft before displacement, and need at least a 4" wide port to breathe properly.

My box was tuned to 32.9hz, at loved frequencies in the range of 25-40hz, but would redoing to 70hz and less.

goodluck with yours :)

I blew my last XXX out this afternoon, and am now woofer-less :'(

Let me know if you need any more info on the XXX series :)
