Very nice subs.

[johnecon2001 82]

No doubt, great looking and performing drivers.

[chad y 1]

Nice, I have been thinking of getting one to try out, I do love the menacing appearance.

Glad it got there safe and sound. It is a very hearty driver. I really don't understand why more people are not grabbing them for the price.

I wonder along with denim. Mine hides behind my couch now, but it sure sounds sexy!

I wonder how two of them wud sound on a Sundown 1000D sealed..

They look beefy..

When people ask about the Q/Icon type drivers, but don't want to spend more then $200, the IXL is one of the first options always mentioned.

And I dont think they need a big enclosure either..

Correct me if I'm wrong..

[mrogowski 6]

Very kind words there guys. And thanks for the plugs Aaron, despite having your own mandate...

no problem - o

Sealed, just big enough to enclose the driver is about right. Ported, not much bigger than that.

Hahaha! We should call you "Mr. 0.707"

Yep......... IXL's are just that damn good.

:bigclap:

Now people are just getting me all excited for my IXL10....... If only I had the time to finish the box for it!

Well, I couldn't go to .85 even because the sub wouldn't fit in a box that small. The fun part is going to be building the .5 @ 25hz that I'm planning.

Hey now, .

I powered mine up for the first time today and am really pleased with it. Box is .86 tuned to 38 with 2 3" pvc pipes. Going to finish sealing the box next week now that I know it sounds good.

Very happy with my ixl10.

That's an awfully long pipe. Aren't you worried about port resonances or driver freezing?

Glad to hear it (pun intended)...

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Man, these are small boxes for sure.

Using a pretty small port thanks to the low tuning an amount of power I'll be running. 2 x 3" ports with .75" radius flares will keep the port velocity manageable and the peak velocity will fall at a frequency low enough that I'm not too concerned. First port resonance is up around 200Hz, so well out of the pass band.

BTW, what's the driver displacement?

[mrogowski 6]

0.11 cubes.

[helotaxi 46]

TYVM, that's pretty close to what I guessed. Normally I'd all but ignore the sub displacement, but as small as these boxes are, it makes a HUGE difference.

[mrogowski 6]

Yeah, I agree. A box that small would definitely be affected by driver volume.
