waits for dd men to retaliate and putting on meh bullet proof vest and waiting for d pioneer men dem to leggo bullet in meh arse

I don't recommend those Soundstream xpro subs again after seeing alot of them failing due to suspension ripping..

daz from over excursion due to improper tuning... and i only see one case of this happening and was because of improper use..... as for the low bass thing...... because of the design of the xpro.... the length of the stroke and the materials the cone and spider are made with it cannot perform efficiently in the lower ranges .... it was designed to be loud...note i said compared to the dds it seems people didnt see that part.. and heres a possible reason for the tearing of the suspension... trying to get them to play low....... .. is just like saying your mercedes is fast.... yeah no doubt it was... but how would it stack up against a skyline? moral is... everything has a purpose it was built for by the manufacturer... and trust me ss was not thinkin bout lows when dey make xpro... so the bottom line ... based on the assumption u have a budget .. go with d xpros.

wanted wrote:I've been using xpro's for years no problems once you have the right box and they can take power. In one of my installs with 2 12 ss xpro's we replaced a ss tarantula 2000w @1 ohm with a 3000w atomic @ 1 ohm and the speaker still standing, going about 5 months now. The only difference now is that it's not as loud as before with the tarantula but it's way deep and way low. Hope the info helps and buy the way I have the box design for the xpros locked.
