ok i finally got everything working. heres my review. i think the maw12 blows. my **** pyle blue wave had deeper bass and had more SQ than this thing. i dont know much about tuning my amp to make the woofer sound its best, but the gains are set the same way it was when i had my pyle and this mach5 woofer seriously blows. the sound quality is shit, the bass doesnt hit at all.. its flat, rattly bass.. i look at it this way. when u fart, and u know its a good one.. its nice. but when u try to fart and it comes out flat and flabby, your like.. aww that wasnt worth the push. well its the same with this woofer. seriously.. i hope it sounds better when i get a ported box, if not... dont waste your money on them. use that 50 dollars and buy your girlfriend/wife something
