thats not true, the response of the XXX, like most subs, will stay flat well into the midbass region, way above where you'd be likely to want it to play.

well, if it's anything like the Avalanche, which i'm sure it is, they both used XBL motors... it does NOT perform very well up high. I can't speak directly about the XXX, but the Avalanche rolled off very quick above 50hz or so. granted my box was tuned very low...but the SX was much better up high in the same box.

Above 60hz, the XXX plain out sucks, same goes for the Brahma and Avalanche. ID Max is better overall for SQ, as is the W6v2.

The enclosure makes a huge difference. small peaky ported enclosures or bandpass, vs. a well designed ported or sealed setup will result in totally different responses.

Doesn't matter which size, enclosure, whatever. Sealed, ported, IB, AP, even the 10" versions of these subs are muddy past 60hz. Not impressed from any of them in that aspect.

Any song with a bass line? 60hz and above is very common on any music material, especially rock.

agreed. i cross mine at 63hz. any higher and it lacks significantly. if you have a decent set of mid-bass', you'll be fine though.

That's the key. A strong midbass driver will allow these subs to perform optimally since you can cross it over lower.

Get some alternative rock, maybe Nirvana Nevermind CD or something. Kick drums.

The lowest a bass (kick) drum should ever be tuned down to is 45-50Hz, and that's pushing it. Being a percussionist, I'm aware of such things.

Although that's all based on the side of the drum head as well...A concert bass will reach lower frequencies by far than a 20" drum set kick drum.

True. The majority of kick drums on rock albums have their fundamental freq. around 50-60hz, with harmonics sometimes touching 100hz, and the attack happening toward 1-2khz.
