I actually am considering a dual TDX sub box for my HT. Planning on copying the design of the JLw7 Gotham...

they have a nice amp and optimizer but for the extra 5gs or what ever i dont think its worth it. a nice proamp and good eq will do just as good as that with the TDX hell you could do a triple stack of TDX and kick the gothams ass.

Ok. I just thought you had something against the subs, and just wanted to know what you didnt like about them.

I agree with you about the TDX. I haven't actually had any experience with the TDX, but i've heard from many knowledgable SQ'ers that it stacks up to the W7 on paper better than any other sub on the market. With that being said, i'm not sure exactly what they're comparing. Because, i've also heard many say the W6v2 is more of an SQ sub than the W7.

"Because, i've also heard many say the W6v2 is more of an SQ sub than the W7."

That's because low x-max subs sound BETTER. *waits to get flamed*

Truthfully, though, the XXX, Brahma, W7 aren't really the best SQ subs IMO. I've been more impressed with W6v2s, IDQs, Dynaudio and SEAS Lotus offerings for SQ purposes.

have you seen the new DLS ultimate sub? i think thats going to be a top ranked SQ sub. and the ARC flat cone looks pretty interesting too.

I can believe that to an extent. Wouldnt the increased x-max cause increased distortion to a point?

ya alot of subs when they get past certain amount of xmax the distortion goes through the roof. also why would you need an SQ sub to have 5" of xmax?
