It it normal for a sub to exceed xmax? Is it damaging.Cause I seen a lot of peoples sub that seemed to be exceeding its xmax.Take for example my pioneer 306 its xmax is 9.4mm and i seem to be crossing an inch sometimes.
yes, its ok for a sub to exceed xmax...but you dont want the sub to get close to xmech. (mechanically limited excurion)
xmax is the linear movement of the coil. when a coil remains linear, the SQ is better. the more outside of linear movment the coil gets, the SQ suffers.
