kirill007 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 The RE audio XXX is designed to work the best in a sealed enclosure that's one of the reasons that it has such a high Xmax. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
Gregg Elias Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Posted February 7, 2016 Large sealed I hear. I had mine in 8ft but now it's in 5.5 behind the seat. I'm thinking of doing a wall and letting the back wave go infinite baffle. The whole back hatch area of the car is very solid. How do you think that would sound? Might be able to use the excursion of that sucker finally!
Mauro376455 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 It acts really well in sealed. Hits all the low notes and stays really tight. Compared to the jblw15gti, which I thought played low, this seems to play a full octave lower. It was tricky to get it to not sound overpowering. Proper crossover and front stage setup was key. And time alignment!!! Now it just disappears into the front stage. Eventually i will be trying a ported box on this. I have small hatchback so back seats will have to come out. Good luck with yours! Tell me what type of box you do. Ported or not lol i just got mines today it weighs a ton man imma get rid of the 4 re sxx 15"s i have to get a second one for my avalanche. This sub is aimed more to be musical correct?
Gregg Elias Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah they're so heavy! Mines in sealed. Very musical. My 18 is in 5.5 cuft. Plays very deep and still very punchy. I love mine! They say go large on the box.
Gregg Elias Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Posted February 9, 2016 You may find this interesting. All xxx subs are the overhung coils now. I was just on the phone with them. Apparently they are more efficient now and because of the massive coil it handled the heat better resulting in more power handling. I've been giving mine everything from a 2400 watt underrated amp and I know it would handle more. Have fun with yours.
Mauro376455 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 this is the one you have right? i should get my 2 one in a week or 2. im going to be pushing 4k. so 2k each
Gregg Elias Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah yeah! That's gonna sound awesome! I tried posting a pic. Cannot figure out how.
Gregg Elias Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 That was my temporary box. New one is not much prettier but it's behind the seat with magnet down in spare tire well.
Gregg Elias Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 If just barely fit behind the seat. I had exactly 19" and that's exactly what the sub is. It was meant to be.
