Ow yeah, after I made this print screen, I simulated the 45 version (2 of them, ment to put in a sealed enclosure) in a 100L box with 2 12"PR's and it gives pretty much the same curve, output and mechanical power handling as my 'Candisa Style' enclosure with the 44 version, and that would be a lot easier to build and a bit smaller in size... (DOH )

I would love to use this driver, but was concerned about its output level, and I dont have room for 2. Strictly SQ setup, it is probably adequate, but I want it to get after it when it needs to as well. My IDQ wasnt enough output for me in a truck, and am guessing the XXLS wouldn't be either.

I've never used the IDQ, but I'm a big fan of the Arc sub that's very similar. Compared to it, the XXLS should have no problem doing what you want it to do...especially in a truck. I'd certainly never guess it was an 8 ohm driver. I run a PDX 1.600 on it (600x1 @ 4/2 ohm) and it's a great match power-wise with the XLS's up front. I could go down to 40 hz on both, but my system sounds more optimal with both (or at least the 8's) at 50hz. I'm telling you this because I think both drivers combine well in my car.

i have always wanted to try these

 

[norcalsfinest]

how much power will the XXLS 12 take sealed?

Hi Npdang,

i am happy that i found this interesting discussion and i read your thread from 09-19-2005 where you say:

"
Breaking this driver in with pink noise, I also noticed very little rub/buzz and mechanical noise. However, the cone breakup was very clearly audible giving a noticeable metallic coloration to the sound. I only mention this to discourage anyone from using it as anything but a subwoofer, even though inductance is astonishingly low. Looks like a great candidate for IB use.
"
i found it disturbing for this high end device, could you please give me a hint what exactly have you observed in this case?

i wanted to ask you which one of the both subs Peerless XXLS 12" 830845 or Dayton RSS315HF-4 is more suitable for my transmission line sub project, as the Peerless one has three times lighter cone (and tree times of course higher Cms) than Dayton's, would that mean that Peerless is the more efficient per Watt from the two? the lower Qts is also a disadvantage in this case

Thanx, veltinorian

I have a pair of these and I can't hear any rub/buzz from mine. I freakin love these subs. They are possibly the only pair of speakers I wont ever sell.

Does anybody else find the sensitivity on this guy to be very high? As far as I can tell it's 2db more sensitive than the next 12 that has been tested. So it may have 1mm of xmax less than the Dayton but it more than makes up for it in efficiency. I'm also a big fan of the quality control, this is textbook material, CMS and BL are nearly copies. The big box requirement is a pain in the ass but with so many XXLS versions around that becomes one of the strengths of the Peerless. This sub is probably king 30hz-100hz from what we have seen tested so far. The ubber subs (Eclipse, ED) might have a slight edge under 30hz but only when driven by several jigawatts whereas this guy is loud and clean everywhere with a mere fraction of the power.

I know this might not be a big issue with others but the waterproof cone and thin aluminum basket means reliability and light weight, and I'm a big fan of those in a convertible/sports car mobile environment. Maybe some owner could weigh one, but based on shipping weights it should be 10lbs lighter than the Dayton and offers a smaller frame diameter.

 

[ItalynStylion]

Are you really looking for a weight? If you desperately need the info I could pull one.

 

[cvjoint]

Not desperate but if you ever have one laying out that would be awesome.

I assume these are similar to the XXLS 10s on sale on PE for less than $100 each. So tempting....

92db 2.83V/1m........

I mean, come on, is that for real... my DIYMA R12 is 80db zzzzzzz

That's one of the best deals around for sure. Sensitivity is more important for higher frequencies. Low sensitivity down low is no big deal with subwoofers.

when i put the t/s in winisd it gives only 86db. still a great sub for the money, cheaper than my 10" and does the same output on half the wattage and should have lower distortion as well.
