Mach 5 MJ18 Owners, Step Inside...

[Fusion_FREAK 10+ year member]

Looking for insight on the Mach 5 MJ 18" woofer. How much power are you giving yours, and what kind of output do you have? Please recommend me an amp for it also if you would.

I plan to do a half wall to get rid of my back seat, mainly for a reason not to have a back seat anymore.

Want sound quality, but I also want it to get loud and super low. I'm thinking sealed, how big?

Also, what kind of front stage do I need to keep up with it?

If you're losing the back seat, and want sound quality, go IB with 2x15's

I had mine in 3.5cf sealed on 600w, and it was beautiful. The lows weren't amazing, they were just right. Not over-pronounced, yet not leaving anything to be desired. You're gonna adore that thing on rock music.

What kind of 15's will get low and loud with 4-500 rms each?

Hmmm, good to hear. I haven't been paid in a month now, and I'm getting $900 on Tuesday, so I'm going to start buying, and I've been eyeing an MJ18 on Mach 5's site.

I listen to every thing. From rap, to old Hank Williams Sr. (country) I like the double bass on rock, and I also looooooove them low notes in some country songs. But I also want it to be loud as shit so I can shutup some ******* trying to bump some shit *** xplods at the light. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Do you think two MJ18's will sound good with 500 rms going to each? 1000 rms @ two ohms is a lot easier to find (and cheaper) then 6-800 at 4 ohms. I have a decent sized back seat area, and shouldn't have a problem fitting at least 7 cubes.

No, you can help, I actually just posted a WTB thread for two. Are they the 4 ohm version? What's the condition? PM me.

1 Mj 18 ~3 cubes sealed on ~400 watts works well in my hatchback. It sounds great and it seems to impress as I've had alot of comments about my system. It's plenty loud for a daily banger (for me anyway)...but I'm going to the extreme and putting 2 ported and throwing some more power at em. I'd say 2 sealed in a semi-wall with RMS or slightly more would be awesome. Probably wont win any SPL comps, but for a daily driver it should be plenty loud and sound good too.

get two of the IXL 15, which is what i plan on doing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif And any IB setup would hit the lows TBH

if you want 1000@2ohm then get my amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
