Mach 5 Audio MAW-12: Any good?

[Buick3800power 10+ year member]

I have heard alot of great things about this sub, and this brand....what does everyone else think?

The price is spectacular.

How will these compare to my W1's I just sold?

Thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

its suppose to be the best bang for the buck out there right now...kickin @ssassins' *** according to some people...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

one downside is you gotta pay a crackload for shipping cus they are in canada...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

For two 12's, to ship to MI, I think they charge $45.

For SPL per dollar spent, I can't think of another driver out there I'd choose...

For sonic accuracy, my ears didn't agree with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif But maybe they'd like other alignments, I heard them in a low tuned ported enclosure.

I hope to be testing the 12 soon, the 18 has nothing but positive raves about it.

 

There is an upper model 18 on the way, along with a 15".

Are they any good for SQ?

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

Read my post.

I thought they were a bit one-noted and sloppy, but I think the enclosure might have had something to do with it...they might like sealed alignments better.

 

[Buick3800power 10+ year member]

I have a sealed box, it's about 1.30 cu ft per chamber.

they should be fine if you follow the box recommdations from Mach5

My box is just about the right size.

I'm just looking for something that sounds a tad better than my W1's, with more bass......within a reasonable budget.

really hard to find a better bang for your dollar

wont find another driver that has the output it does for the price...

just don't run over RMS power... and keep in mind that Mark has rated the drivers as dual 4 ohm ACTUAL impedence.. nomially I'd call them a dual 2 ohm driver... and on the boxes they are stamped as dual 2 + 2 ohm..
