RE XXX MT is built for competition use, but it doesn't sound bad at all. IMO it isn't in the same league as the W7 or Brahma/Tumult which are SQ subs that go loud.

I know two people each with a single 18" MT. One will do 152 dB, and the other will do 162 dB. Both on the new TL meter.

I have two favorite SPL subs, the DD 9815 and the MMats Juggernaut.

The kicker comp vrs pretty good subs,... They put out real high spl numbers, nor do they have awesome sound quality, but are still great street beater subs for the price.

Baddest I mean anything, whatever your opinions are for whatever reason, SPL, SQ or SQL.

Were gonna have a bit of fun with this data collection

SQ/SPL, Image Dynamics ID Max and Eclipse Titaniums are great, of course in addition to the subs mentioned above. JL's W6v2 series is very good as well, I actually like the SQ better than the W7.

SPL, the Resonant Engineering MT, Digital Designs 9500 and 9900 series.

Purist SQ with no regards to SPL, the Dynaudio MW-190 is excellent, of course Image Dynamics IDQs are great (although they can hit pretty hard for what they are, just aren't "supersubs")

Bang for the buck I really like the Adire Audio Shiva.
