The Mag v4 is a subwoofer in its own league, I was blown away when I heard one. Probably my favorite subwoofer so far.

Keep in mind that my idea of an amazing subwoofer is not the dB level it can attain on a bass tone but instead its ability to play a flat response at volume and still blend into the soundstage. The Mag v4 is not a SPL beast, but with its XBL2 structure plays with extremely low distortion no matter what volume level. Thats what I love about them. Oh yeah, plays flat down below 20Hz also. Still gets plenty loud for me if needed. The Adire Kodas I use have a similar design but are small enough to fit under the seat.
I also hear rumors of a future Mag v5 that will still be only 5.5" deep yet will have ~27.5mm of one way linear excursion
imagine that kind of output coupled with the current Mag's incredibly low distortion.

It is tuned to 33 hz and the box is 2.5 cu ft after sub and port displacement so I have 1.25 per sub after displacement.This is like the hundreth box ive built,since I build custom boxes on the side,and it was still a pain in the ***.I do have a design now and will build them for others.Originally I had like 3.6 so I actually had to reduce the size of the box .The truck is not driven very often so I just kind of worked it out little by little.My old setup was 2 sealed 12'' IDq's and these 10's ported are putting them to shame.I wanted the setup to hit so hard and clean it would take your breath away.This Is It.
It is an 07. You have to port them to get SQ and SPL .Look at the several thousand dollar home speakers they are all ported as far as I know. I have always been told porting correctly doubles your output. I have been toying with my F150's for years (I had an 04 )and tried basically all major brands of subs as well as different setups. this cant be beat at least not in a f150.I just wanted to try the RE subs bought them without ever hearing them. Just figured I would try another brand.Glad I Did! Let me know if I can help.
obviously this guy imagined the 4 times you stated the box size. psshh what a hater.

RE XXX (07) uses almost the inverse of XBL^2 tech, in that one has a split coil while the other has a split mag to achieve the same result. Differences being cost, and the fact that RE lied about necessary enclosure sizes for the XXX - can't blame them though. Who wants to drop a grand on a woofer only to put it in a 15 cube sealed box?

The only way that will happen is with a well designed t-line or horn enclosure...doesn't have that much to do with the woofer...

But seriously, listen to a Mag v4 in its 1cu ft enclosure. You'd be impressed.

I've heard great things about it from so many people that Im pretty much convince already ha. If I was more into SQ/didn't own a truck that at 2k RPM approaches 140Db itself, I might be inclined to go ahead and pick one up.

You don't see the lighter side of things do you?
Censors can be a pain though. I understand your frustration, though I cannot read a single thing that you wrote.
