...will it eventually be phased out in favor of the X2?

Thanks.

It will be gone after I'm sold out of stock.   That is going to be very soon.... I only have a couple left.

Thanks Kevin.  Looks like either will do equally well in the EQ'ed closed box I'm planning - just different EQ required.

Good to know, I'll just keep recommending the X2, then :)

Yea... in a sealed box, the differences are not profound.   In a resonant enclosure, the new one is much more suitable for smaller boxes.

Holy moly - I see what you mean!  Looking at it in WinISD, the X2 does really well in a vented box just a hair above 3 cu. ft.  This is causing me to seriously rethink the sealed vs. vented issue.

My order status shows as "open"....I sure hope you don't run out before shipping mine. But it's ok if you want to substitute an X2 for the same price. aa
