16.8k is way high IMO... would be way too compressed and dark sounding. Like Dimarzio's Super 3, which clocks in at 22.5k, its just... no way man. Perhaps in a maple bodied guitar with maple fretboard, aye.
Anyway, for arguement's sake. I have installed a Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell with an X2N.
That's 5k-ish with 15k FYI. It can be balanced out. It just how many compromises you will be willing to make in order to get it balanced out volume wise.
