you're talking about front stage in the first statement. generally that means 6.5" or smaller driver. 8" if it's midbass.
Also IB, or sealed and not ported, so a bit of a moot point.
Also the enclosure for a sub when ported is going to limit the excursion, so that's not as much of a concern as with a sealed box, where excursions are far greater.

But xmax is directly linked to distortion in a ported enclosure :)

Since at the resonant freq in a ported enclosure the sub should have little or no movement.

:thumbsup

pricing is ok. remember the assassin is their entry level sub as I recall, about on par with RE's RE line.. so the prices are about where they belong now. Still, good subs though, just don't expect an assassin to outperform a sub meant for high performance applications.
Xmax isn't really the cause of distortion. Motor control or lack thereof has more to do with that, as does the overall speaker/motor design and implementation.
That statement is a little broad or blanketing to be fair.

I'm sure that's the idea. Get a lot of people hooked on them! That RMS figure needs some investigating though. Probably just a typo.

I have the lowest line of 6 1/2's. While the tweeter is great the mid range isn't as clear as I would like. The old driver is very cheap looking and right now I have one new driver and one old one because that is all they had to replace the one that blew. Of course I'm no expert in tuning either, so that could be the issue.

Anyway, back to topic. I wonder why they have the RMS for the Assassin 12 listed as 350 but recommneded for 250? Looks like some competition for the RE series for the price.

Switch out RAINBOWS? Are you CRAZY???

by Ryan from Ohio » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:29 am

I wouldnt...

More xmax= more audible distortion...

One thing you DONT want in your front stage ;)

by kevinberry1 » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:28 am

I wonder how those 6.5's would sound in a component set? I should swap out my Rainbow woofers for these. Hmmm

Holy shite! Those prices are amazing! Someone get one and test it out so we know how good they are.

Good for the Beretta, BAD for the wallet!

Cant buy anything like that yet.

I got to get them running first ;)
