now since this sub is Xbl^2  you will NOT hear it "blowing" it's self up..

Heading the Warranty department at Adire Audio, I unfortunately see this all the time.  A standard overhung motored sub audibly distorts worse and worse as you push it toward its limits.  But unfortunately an XBL^2 motor allows it to sound just as distortion free up to the end.  So you have to be a little more careful and listen for mechanical noises that let you know you are pushing it too far.  It's like learning how to drive a manual transmission from an automatic.  You kind of have to learn how to drive all over again, but once you do you realize the benifits.

The XXX is a bit more of an SPL sub while the Brahma is a bit more of an SQ sub.  The XXX can handle abuse better and can be pushed a little further, so it has a slight output potential advantage.  It also is a little more efficient.  The Brahma requires a smaller enclosure, will provide a flatter frequency response, and have a little better transient response due to the lower inductance.  But these are very slight differences.  You should be very happy with either one.

Although I should mention that we are re-vamping our line for 2005 and there are some changes being made.  We will have our Tumult sub as our top SQ offering, so keep your eyes open for when we release the information on our new line-up.
