The first proto came in last week and they've been testing it.

i don't suppose there's a possible price range yet.

Cheap and good. First impressions were that the new BM sounds like the old mag.

Somewhere between 150 and 200.

hey. now that's not bad. i'm in the planning stages of building a false floor box in an extended cab with either 4 8's or a couple of shallow 12's. i've tried this before with 10's and it didn't turn out like i wanted. i need to be as shallow as possible. i sorta liked the pioneer shallows i heard, but they weren't quite loud enough. i'll probably do 3 or 4 8's, but i'm leaving the possibility open to using some good shallow 12's

The BM's are only 3" deep, and IIRC only need 0.5 cubes each

OLD mag is the best moofa ive ever played with

I plan on getting one as soon as they come out. You should check their forum for info on the sub. Right now they are saying the price will be $149 shipped. Pics of the prototype are up too. It looks pretty sweet.

IIRC Nick told me yesterday the new BMs will be around $159 - as there was a bit of increase in materials cost from the $149 announcement.

I just heard it last night at low volume levels (didn't want to bother the neighbors) and the sound was very similar to an old Mag in a small sealed enclosure - about the same way Nick had described it before I got to listen to it.

I know you may not have that much testing experience with the new BM....but I hear they sound similar as far as SQ to the v2 Mag, but can they get as loud as them?

No, they aren't as loud as the previous generation Mag. At a given power level they would be similar, but the older Mags simply handled a ton of power, so would out-pace a BM past its rated power level - it was not uncommon to run 1000-1500 watts on the previous generation Mags where the BMs will only want around 500 watts.

But if you want to be THAT loud perhaps dedicated SQ subs aren't what you are looking for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Or, you should be looking at several of them - more cone area would make up for it pretty easily - meaning two BMs sealed vs. one old Mag sealed both at 1000 watts total, the BMs would be louder.

If that price includes shipping, you can't go wrong with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thanks for the review. I wasnt really looking for myself necessarily just interested as have heard the last gen of Mags can get loud and sound amazing while doing it.

So I just wanted to see how the BMs compared as an overall sub to them...

but thanks once again for the info

um, yes... must have missed the 10+ threads about the new mag.

lol i must have, i'll do a search.

little more dedicated reading can be done over at http://www.stereointegrity.com/forums for those interested.

new Mags should be shipping fairly soon and I believe its sometime in the fall expected for the new BM's but there are no dates set in stone as it stands. Current reviews both subs are looking very very promising, least for most looking for a sealed and more SQ oriented setup.

^ that sounds like heaven to me
