Hey Steve K or anyone with Brahma and RE XXX experience, which one can handle the heat better? That is one of my main concerns as I like to drive and listen for hours and have had problems with subs getting too hot. I know that heat is normal, but I would like to be able to not worry about shutting them down so much.

boom, boom, boom boom....

The XXX definitely handles more power. It uses an 8 layer voice coil instead of the 4 layer we use. Enclosure used will make a difference, but we rarely see blown voice coils. Usually something in the suspension goes before the voice coil blows. Our voice coils are really robust. As an example, Scottie Johnson runs 10 kilowatts per Brahma and has never blown a voice coil.

WOW Steve! 10Kw per Brahma...... I saw that video on you guys website. Thats the one where is van door literally breaks/cracks from the brahmas hitting 170spl, right?

And do you have any experience with my current subs; the RFR3110's? Will the XXX's blow these RFmonsters out of the box? My box is .68cuft and the spec for XXX sealed is .7 cuft. So its ready now, but I'll have to stack a few more$$ to get 2 at once. Maybe I'll just buy one this week and run it by itself til next wk.

All I want is the best. Is that too much to ask Brahma or XXX-Handle Heat Better Steve K? -- posted image.

boom, boom, boom boom....
