My purple basket oz audio 12's have that same surround. Imo I believe that surround helps the accuracy. But then again I'm not about to put old school oz audio in a comparison with American bass lol the oz are only like 250w rms. Thanks for another great review ✌️

Xr15 best SQL value on market... Best $200 sub going they sound beautiful and take a lot of power, 2 D4s @1ohm take a cab45 no problem and put out violent hard bass on it.

@@high5guys701 Well for 12's the Audio legion Gladiator and Maximus were my favorite 12's for accuracy but they are no longer available so I would say Soundstream R3 if you can run at 2 ohm or .5 ohm final.or Skar EVL 12's and you can run at 1 ohm final. amzn.to/3nbhz4F R3's amzn.to/3LC9jon EVL's

Have you tried out the earthquake slap passive radiators? I have 3 of the 12's one for each pair of decent budget autotec 12's. I can adjust the frequency response by adding and subtracting weight to the radiator cone. And I don't get port noise

I bought 2 XR 12 American bass subs recently. Their both 4ohms. I believed I wired them to 1 ohm when I played them on my smart 3k they didn't do much. When I put my 2 Skar DDXs back in, it was big difference the DDXs killed the XR American bass subs I'm confused. Maybe something wasn't wired correctly. I will have to try this again.

@HiFiVector Жыл бұрын

Check them individually and make sure the Voice coils are good and wired correctly because the Xr's crank hard. Had to be something was off.

@ur_quainmaster7901 Жыл бұрын

If you want to use those for metal, try sealed. My single XR12 sounds fantastic for all music in a sealed box. You'll give up some decibels but those db's come with a price, like group delay. The only sub I've ever heard that clearly sounded better was a SVS $2300 Ultra 16... No, I take that back, I had a Dayton 15 (Adire Tempest clone) that probably sounded better than the XR but it's hard to tell as there was a decade+ between hearing them both.

Brw15 or xr 15? Which do you like better?

@HiFiVector 9 ай бұрын

Brw 15 is more accurate and punchy. Xr is nice but not as musically accurate. So just depends on what you like. For me in the 15” version I like the Hifonics.
