I don't think you understand how mediocre this Fostex woofer is.

2.3 mm travel with a ca. 30" cone moves as much air as 9.2 mm with a
15" cone.

The Adire Tempest has 16 mm Xmax. It moves almost twice as much air.

And, if you want a ca. 15" driver with SERIOUS Xnax, check out the JL
Audio 13W7 with 32 mm Xmax.


Aren't JL designed for in-car booom booom usage?

As it is designed for use in sealed boxes, the Xmax is less relevant. Also
its main application is for sub bass in control room monitors, if you want a
big driver with a big xmax also then the PD2450 fits the bill. 24 inch, Xmax
is not quoted, but gap depth is 15mm and coil is wound to 30mm so I guess
we're looking at a reasonable number for such a big cone!
