Mach 5 Audio ixl-10

has anybody here had much experience with the mach 5 audio ixl-10....i'm about to do a build for a customer and he told me he had about 800 to spend on subs and amp....and his setup will be goin up under the back seat of a chevy2500..(which there's not a lot of room)....and i came across these subs, i know they are more of a sound quality woofer, and he's looking for mainly spl.....and according to the site they only require .4cuft ported at 30hz....so would these be the way to go, for say 2 of them ported?

If you client intends on achieving SPL lane-style output, these are not the ones for him/her. They do have decent output for those who know how to dial in their systems properly however.

Best,

well he is just tryin to be as loud as he can, with the room that he has....he's only got room for 2 10"s, (and thats barely)....but he may be able to fit one 12 back there too...(only down firing)....and i know for a fact he could fit 2 of these ported (that is if they only require .4cuft a piece)....he may be able to fit 4 sealed....so i might throw thats out there also....he will more than likely have between 1500-2000wrms to throw at em

i'm just wondering how loud 2 would get in .4cubes a piece tuned around 30ish...because there will def be enough room for this setup...there may be enough to fit 4 of them sealed...he's not after db's...he just wants it to sound loud

compared to the ixl's price, hardly any deal to be sought here bro.. tc or not.. it's eh on the pricing.

To OP:

You're friend should just do a single 10 and a really nice box, no reason to try and cram more than needed into space provided.

the msrp on these subs are 350 a piece your getting 2 for 450, thats a deal, you will also pay over 100 dollars shipping for the ixl so im also thinking about that

Those TC's look pretty beat up...the surrounds, at least.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Also looks like they have a little rust or something on the top plate of the motor, and one has a magnet boot and the other doesn't...I wouldn't trust how those were treated. If you can something very similar, look into finding an Eclipse SW8000...essentially the same sub and you can find them new for around $200 a piece, or even less...if you can find them.
