2002 Phoenix Gold XMAX 12" Subs

Strengths:
Carbon Fiber construction allows them to handle ample power.

Weaknesses:
NONE (I have put them to the test)

Summary:
I have a Lanzar Opti50c pushing my 2 12's and they sound lovely. I only have my Lanzar turned up about half way, but I am still putting about 800rms into them, and they handle it great. I have gotten them to distort a bit but only under extreme wattage (1200rms). I entered a local competition and I hit 128 decibals, pretty good for the money.

2000 PG XMAX 12

Strengths:
strengths? well it's strong, can take a lot of power, pounds. put it in one word... phenomenal.

Weaknesses:
none whatsoever.

Summary:
I had the xmax10 before being powered by xs2300 and i loved it. unfortunately my car was stolen and took my whole system. now trying to rebuild it and i was lucky enough to find an xmax12 for $50 in a sealed box. then found an xs2500 for $100. what can i say, i loved it when i had the xmax10/xs2300, now i have xmax12/xs2500. go figure. you can't go wrong with this combination. these are very hard to find these days and you better get one if you're lucky enough to find one.

Strengths:
Great sound,small box,clear and loud,had three jl audio 12w6's before this and these sound just the same if not better.And I only have two speakers instead of three!

Weaknesses:
None to date.Been banging on these for over a year and have no problems.The only bad part would be that they don't make them any more.What quit with a good thing?Just like the old Lanzar Opti amps.WHY?!

Summary:
Have these installed behind seat in regular cab pickup.Running at about 1 cubic foot sealed for each speaker.Have a PPI 1800 mono amp running them.Each speaker is getting 400 watts rms and they love it.They are rated at 500 rms but they still sound like they could handle more.
