FI vs. Mach5

[dragnix 5,000+ posts]

I know, it's another vs. thread, but I don't care, just help me. I have plans of going IB in my next setup. I have 700watts to work with and i'm stuck between the FI IB 18" or the Mach5 IXL-18.

Now, the FI is indeed cheaper than the Mach5. But knowing Mark, I would imagine the extra cost with the IXL won't be for his own profit. So i'm stuck between the two right now and just wondering if anyone has used either or both and would allow me some input. Thanks

hmm...i could also do 2 15" FI IB and it'd be the same price as the IXL-18

i have heard many of the fi's. they sound great & scott has outstanding customer service. i have never personally heard the mach 5's but, everything i have heard about them is +. (where i am from fi, re, ia, & aa are more popular)

that's one of the thing i'm thinking of as far as IB goes. However, the vas on the FI IB are a bit high and if i run two of them, i'm not sure if my trunk can accomodate the high vas
