if ur thinkin the new xxx it will be better, if ur comparin ol skool the massive its louder but the xx its cleaner plus get a nice amp cuz if u get the dmx its quad coil so u can run it at lower ohms at competitions and high ohms for daily drivin

the new xxx if u want a great ql cobination but ur gonna need tons of power ofr the new xx at leats like 2500 rms, because of their structure they need tons of power to get loud, but yeah the xxx its very underated on the rms , but if your going for more boomby bass and less depth go with the massive audio dmx and get a massive audio 1500.1 my friend from the shop its pullin 151.4 at the windshield

You will want to pll more than 1500 rms on it though. Go with an IA 20.1 or Massive P3000.1. Massive did make a few in DVC 2 ohm as well. XXX willbe lil cleaner but the Massive is bad to the bone.

I really cant decide, I'm torn between the RE XXX, S.I. MAG, Massive Audio DMX and the Treo SSX... All in 15" sizes. Any suggestions?

Well that guy was hitting 148dbs with that sub. That is less than half the output he should get with the Massive DMX.

Also, the DMX is about 1/4th the price of the RE XXX. That is if you get it directly from RE.

Also, if you are looking to pay the price for a new RE XXX, why not just buy a SS XXX? That will cost you way less than the 06 Re XXX, and get just as loud! It is an amazing SPL sub.

I didnt think of that Ben. The SS XXX would be pretty bad too. But its for straight SPL though.

Every 3 db's is twice the output. Every 10 db will sound twice as loud to the human ear. So he would need to hit over 151 db's with the dmx to get over twice the output. So I believe everything I said was true.
