Diminishedpower

does anyone use the xbl^2 tech anymore seems like everyone who did dropped it for some reason.

I have a custom box already built that i have a 15 in at 3.5 cubic feet. I was wondering how a 12 inch btl would respond to 2k watts in that overly large box? P.S. its tuned to 32 hz

I'm just curious that with a 3.5 cu/ft box if id get more lower extension off of a bl, compared to the btl. Just from looking at specs.

Bass boost is still needed in certain applications to flatten the response curve of a sub, like lets say an overmotored sub in a sealed box, bass boost the lower end to even out the response because it will naturally loose a lot of the bottom end. Just thought id throw that in there.

I plan on competing locally just for fun. And i dont want to bash the bxi amps cause there good for the money but there over rated and at 14.4v. My amp is rated at 13.8v and puts rated power. In my environment theres going to be a decent amount different in power i'll be sending compared to bxi. Again didn't post that to bash just for more information so i can figure out what sub is best for my needs.

Well i'm not new to car audio, just to this forum. I want a sub that can take the full power at times, aka i will set the gains to max (by max i mean for true 2k output, not gain knob set all way up lol). But i do not listen to music at full blast all the time, my amp has a remote which basically just a remote for the gain and i usually turn it down to blend better for daily use. I listen to everything rock, rap, jazz, country. And with all those but rap i keep everything leveled for sq, but on rap i do like to have the amp pushing its most for a couple of songs. I hope that helps, just with the bl how long could it take the 2k at a time, i mean clean unclipped signal.

I have a 3.5 cu/ft box ported at 33 hz with 50 sq/in of port area. I really dont want to build another box because this fits my trunk flush and perfectly. I have cadence zrs-9 amp which is 2k watts at 1 ohm. My question is which sub will perform better in that box and be able to handle 2k reliably. I like the sub getting low and reason im asking all this is the 3.5 cu/ft box is on the small side for the btl but on the big side for the bl but my power is on the high side for the bl. Any suggestion is much appreciated
