how good are mach5's
hey can someone tell me how good these mach5 subs are. im thinking of purchasing 2 12" subs, but i dunno how good the quality is or how reliable since its a new brand to me. do they compare with rockfords and pioneer subs? basically i dunno gimme some info. thanks.

haha. what can you expect form a 50 dollar sub. from the rewiews i have herd they do sound good, and for 50 bucks of you only feed each sub 300Wrms they sound good. i may be wrong, someone may be pushing theirs harder.

cant say anything for the 12's, but i got a 15" maw, and for the price, you cant beat it. heck even for twice the price, you'ld be hard pressed.
I know people who have been running maw's for months, and no reliability problems. check out the sound solution fourms. mach 5 has their own section. Mark the owner of the company is a great guy and will answer any questions you may have.

i'm using a maw-15 and am feeding it about 750 rms and it takes it like a champ and sounds awesome doing it. you really cant beat the price either, the quality is fantastic for the price. plus mark is a really nice guy

Completely agree, the mach5's do the job and then some.
A single MAW15 in 2.4cf with over 800 watts RMS will do at least a 136 in a 92 celca with the seats folded, and sound good doing it too.
My pair of mach5 MJ18's have survived 1200 watts RMS a PIECE off a Yorkville pro amp for an hour and a half. It's been a long time since I heard a sub setup this dynamic too.
The only thing is that they dont have *tons* of excursion, so you cant slam them with ridiculous power, but from what I've read, the 12's will take about 400 watts RMS a piece in say 1.2cf, and the 15's will take an easy 600 watts RMS in 2.0cf.

I've been sorta following the production of a new sub coming outta Mach 5, it's an SPL-geared driver, and it's absolutely massive... you guys may have heard of it. The best part is that it's a "budget" spl driver. It's in sort of a testing phase among a couple people in on the project, but if all goes well it looks like a potential force to be reckoned with.

YA the MAW line is ok. We had the MAW-12 and tested it and is was fine with the recommended power but as soon as you started to get over the power handling there was evident cone noise. Mark is a good guy though and knows his stuff 100%
