DC makes 18s in the level4, 4xl, and 5.

the 4 will do well off of 1200watts

mach5 has two

MJ-18M for $155

IXL18.2.2 for $265

it would live on my bxi 1206d and it would get ? 400 to 450 w @ its 4 ohm

do you think thats enough power to make it sound good on music ?

or not realley so much ?

also stated 15mm of x max is way more than my current sub

but also not alot concidering todays standards of 25+mm x max subs ?

any thoughts ?

If you're not expecting the world of it, then yes it will be just fine on music.

i say just save another $100 and get the IXL 18.2.2. Its dual 2ohm 1000w RMS. It wud match that 1208 real well.

if FI is to expensive than your not going to get much better than 15mm xmax for the price of the mach 5. i recomend saving up more and getting an ssd or q from FI.

 

[brian84corvette 10+ year member]

I think I might rather pick up a 18" q

over the IXL 18.2.2.

price diffrence isnt that much, not shure about the IXL 18.2.2.

havent heard much from it,

altho I havent searched a ton for it either...

but

people seem to rave about the fi line. and I have seen them in person

at a local store - they look beefy.

questions about fi subs -

if ordering them new - what the heck do the options do ?

id do daily for music

cooling - just cause im sketch like that.

but flat wind alum coils = what exactly

and what are the other otpions all about ?

i do have $ to spend - im just trying to find the best bang for the bux.

im pretty ok happy with the crap box pa sub in my car now, but would like

to see what more I can do in it. - but mostly I just drive around listenign to

my music at a good level. not like pull you over and get a ticket loud.

fi q would probly make me the happiest in the long run - but x mas is coming up

and I might need to buy people crap. and the job market is looking slim now.

my current status is ok, but looking sketch ahead next fiew months......

so spending more $ than I need to right now is a terrible idea.

maby I should do it anyways.

thanks all for the advice, and the lists of 18" subs out there for me to google for.
