Shiney (Mag 15 Sealed, Initial Thoughts)

First for some shiney pics

As far as the mag goes, I threw togather a 2.8cuft enclosure, braced with 2x4's, dead as a doornail. Threw it in the truck and put the MD2 @1ohm on it. Honestly the output is amazing for a single 15 sealed. It didnt ecactly like "Airforces" with the MD2 running full tilt mechancially but thermally, I took it out and not even a hint of smell. Watching this thing is amazing. It moves **** near 3" P2P. All in all this thing is amazing. It didnt pressureize the cabbing quite like my Ava18 7.5cuft@28Hz did but what do you expect? I have no doubts it will outperform my ava once I port the beast. As far as soundquality. Just as good as my Ava, dropped just as low and played the higher notes a little better. I didnt get into much rock in the 20min demo I did but the kick drums I had where fully chest pounding and the bass guitars smooth and rich. Tomarrow I will try to take some video which means it will be up next weekish. In the next few weeks I will finish my ported enclosure and start SPL testing.

Cool, I have a 15" on the way from Ben and will be powering it with a Sundown 1500D and probally throwing it in a 2.5 after displacement unless I can find a way to fit a ported in there.

Nice looking subs. Looks like the motors should be reversed though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

You wont need to run that sundown anywhere near full tilt to get maximum performance. The MD2 was almost making it dance on the back plate/top plate at almost full tilt. It is fun to watch though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Two years ago I never would have thought I would have $900 of subwoofage sitting next to me.

Then agian, a year ago my whole system cost less than $900 as well.

My plan is to add another Mag down the line. But that all depends on how quickly it destroys my car.

Two mags on ~1500w in ~4.5cuft would be perfect. I am actually thinking about doing that after I am done compeating this year.

Verkilr, I think buying that MD2 was one of the best moves Ive made. It has tons of power on tap for the price I paid. Vetkilr=Great guy.

Ryan, I will get vids as soon as my dad lets me barrow the camera and loads them onto his compter so I can transfer them to my computer for editing. I dont have a firewire connection on this POS //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
