maw 15 sq?

[tyler_fitz 10+ year member]

basically i want to know what a maw 15 sounds like compared to a type r 12....

right now the type r is in a ported box, 1.7cu @ 32hz getting about 500w. im thinking of selling it to a friend of mine and replacing it with the maw 15. i would put it in 3cu @ 30hz and feed it the same power. not really concerned with how loud it will be (although im curious, will it be as loud? louder?) but i want it to sound GOOD...

from what i have read it will destroy the R in SQ. i have heard that some describe it to have as good or better SQ than an IDQ, which is saying a lot. I just wish they worked in a little smaller box, but good luck to you!

it wont win you any comps, but it sounds nice. Im willing to wager it will sound a bit better than the R. I have mine in 3 cu. ft. tuned to about 28 or 30 and it sounds good.

is the sq close to your infinity perfects you had?

i have heard only good things about the MAW's, do they come close to the TC-2000 at all?

no, the power handling is about half or a little less. However, other than that, and box requirements, they do well for the price as i understand.

well im not really qualified in any way to judge sound quality of anything, but you know. I didnt really have the perfects in for very long because i was really disappointed. I had 2 sealed, and they sounded nice, but didnt really get loud. I havent really heard many setups so I dont have much to base it off, but the maw15 doesnt sound bad, but not as good as the perfects. Lets put it this way, sided by side, my friends probably couldnt tell a difference between the two setups, except for volume. Sorry for the terrible comparison, i tried. You wont be disappointed with a mach 5. And if you are, I might be looking for another //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

My brother has the Mach 5 MJ18 and it sounds incredible and gets really loud, I would go that route instead of the maw15. They are the same price and the MJ will handle 600watts fine. BY the way don't port the box, just do like a 3.5cf box sealed with polyfill in the bottom. It will sound great and rip.
