In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, hosts Robert and Sandra dive into the concept of subwoofer Xmax—short for maximum linear excursion. It’s a critical spec that tells you how far a subwoofer cone can move without distortion, and it directly affects how deep and clean your bass can go. They explore how Xmax impacts dynamics, headroom, and low-end authority, and why more excursion isn’t always better unless it’s backed by smart design and control.
