We've had a few people finally put some power on their Mag's.

A few posted mini-reviews here.

I've found that if you don't hear anything at all that usually means the customer is happy *laughs*

We've shipped out a good bit of Mag v4's, but you're right - people have been really quiet since they've got them. But like Sundownz said, if you don't hear anything, that's a good thing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I am hoping to write up something soon. Sorry guys lol, just wanting to get some good ides of my own on them. Toying with boxes and setups in my truck, I am no expert by any means but trying to figure out what works best for me.

So far though they are clean as can be. I first had them just thrown in as a pair in a 2.16ft^3 box and upfiring (box loose on the floor just to get em powered up.) All I can say is CLEAN as can be. Hard to put my finger on it but all that I could think through my head was the sound was similar to the feeling you get when you dip into ice cold mountain spring water. Heck even rap music had a cleaner sound to it which I couldn't believe. Plays anything wonderfully and super cleanly.

Currently they are downfiring which seems to be coloring the sound a bit from vibrations off the floor or something, but its still totally clean sounding as I have ever heard from a sub, just lost that little icy rush.

Box seems a bit too big for my truck and current positioning so I am going to throw together a box for a single mag and see how it preforms overall.

Output is a little lacking but was expected, with the pair wired to 0.5ohm nominal (powered by a Sundown 1500D) the output is pretty good though.

Here are my pics of the pair...

It's totally amazing how clean they sound, totally different than any sub I have heard and just amazing. Beefy little buggers for how shallow they are too. Anything I have played on it from very fast double kick bass to rap music and they sound great and honestly not like subs at all, just soo clean and natural you have the music and no actual audible hint of subs. No bangin and bumpin just crystal clear fully bodied music.

Well thats all I can really say so far from an ignorant but learning audio guy lol.

Thanks for posting your impressions on here. Now everyone needs to go to the install section and check out your work! Very impressive.

Thanks Nick, I should be able to post up a full review soon. Currently I am a little embarrassed to post the temporary sub install that I have going on lol. So pics will have to wait but for now its all about the sound and then cleaning up the install.

My review:

Well, I finally have my new Mag installed and set to go.

The new Mag sounds great, definitely more punch to it than my BMs had. The drum hits on Pink Floyd's The Wall album are all clean, crisp and precise. Much more pointed that on the BM.

On Nine Inch Nails Discipline, the notes have an actual shape to them, there is a buildup and a decay, not just a thwack from the drum hit. Again, I can't say the BMs sounded bad as they destroy any other sub I have heard in SQ, but the Mag truly is that much better.

On rap this sub keeps up great and still gets plenty loud for me. It definitely has less output than my 2 BMs, but those were 2 ported subs versus 1 sealed sub, I 100% expected that.

Also, there seems to be fewer peaks and valleys through the frequency range with the Mag. I am not sure if this is due to it being a sealed box or because of the Mag itself, but it's a more linear frequency response than my BMs had.

I must note however that if you are at all looking for SPL, this is not the sub for you, it can get loud, but it is not an SPL sub at all. Also, it is designed to take a Maximum of 1000 watts, it does not need 1000 watts, 500 should do fine in most cases, especially since it is only a 3 dB difference, barely audible.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a very dynamic and listenable sub, this is it, but if you want more SPL, find an old Mag V3 or an old BM, it will serve you better.
