Alright, so i'm not a n00b at this I know a little bit. I know that Audiobahns aren't what they show to be and Rockford isn't either. That JL Audio, Kicker, Adire, And DD are the way to go if I'm seeing it right.

I've always been a Audiobahn fan, I guess it was the price range and wattage. But now I see that just because they have high watts doesn't mean that they hit much harder, it just means that it takes more watts for them to reach their xmax right? If so then what are some subs with really high xmaxs, I was looking at buying 2 Audiobahn Immortal AWIS15P's and running them on a Audiobahn A2300HCT amp. But now I see that their xmax is only 16.7 and it takes 2250 watts rms to reach that xmax, I'm guessing thats how its said? What are some subs that have high xmax with lower rms wattage? I wanna get some JL Audio 13w7's but they are a bit pricey right now. haha.

I've got a 1997 Lumina Sedan LS, PLENTY of trunk room (40w*40d*16h when the trunk is closed and still some more space in the front but it gets smaller as it gets deeper. Sad thing is the seats don't come down... I'mma change that part even if I have to make homemade hinges lol.

Right now I've got a Alpine Type-R 12" sub powered by Audiobahn A8000T Amp. Nothin huge by no means, but I paid just over $350 for it new =/ I shoulda waited and saved money for better stuff but I wanted it then and there and got it on sale. Yes, yes I shoulda waited. It hits pretty hard, harder them some people's systems at school but it isn't the "superior" that I want. I want something that you can stand outside of it, throw a full water bottle in the back, and the pressure explod the bottle and push all the water back out. Thats what I want =D, even though it won't happen anytime soon haha.

I'm going to school at MobileDynamics this upcoming summer and I wanna go in knowing a little bit more, right now I'm 18 and I gradaute high school in 2 weeks. I've hooked up plenty of systems, no high end ones but some moderate ones, like Alpine, Audiobahn, Infinity, and Kenwood but nothing over the hill great.

So someone let me know if I'm right about the xmax thing, don't pick fun either it's a simple question lol.

Thanks,
Scott

Yeah i've been reading past threads for like 4 days lol. But I've always like JL and Kicker they just hit so much harder with less watts.

And thanks, good look to you when you go.

haha, the racer...

I used to have a 95 Eclipse, had a head-back exhaust system, k&n cold air intake, cpu mod, and new clutch, my dad put that in lol.

I got rid of if because of speeding -.-
103 in a 55 dropped to a 94 in a 55, it got me 100 hours community service, 2 days in juvenile detention, 10 page essay on why speeding is bad, 10 page essay on wrecks where I live, $216 fine, 6 months probation, and 6 months suspended license on top of 4 when I lost it from my parents for the ticket.

Insurance wanted almost 300/month liability with the ticket so I had to sell the car to get it down and bought a 97 lumina to get the price to go down, still paying almost 150 a month LIABILITY.

But I don't drive that right now. Same as you, transmission problems, so I'm driving my parents 1994 Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition. I def. can't speed in that lol.
