Unhappy Mach 5 maw 15 is no more. :(

I am not sure how, or why, but my maw 15 went out on me on my way home this evening.

gain was set very conservitivly, and the volume was not even that high when it happened. i set my gains at volume 52 out of 62. i was listening to the stereo at volume 45 when it happened. this sucks big time.

i contacted mark to see what he can do for me as the sub is only 6 months old, and is the first sub that has gone out on me in the last 8 years, so its not like i am hard on subs. this just sucks, and i felt like telling someone.

yeah, but do i really want to pay for another to have the same thing happen in only a few months, not saying all the mach 5 subs are bad or anything.. like i said, there is no reason that it should of went out, except for a flaw of some kind, or something really strange within the sub itself. it sounded the same from day 1 till it went out, except for after break in, as it started to get deeper, but never sounded like something was wrong ever. never once sounded distorted, or anything. it just makes no sense to me. i am going to take it out of the box, and see if i can tell what happened visually. i brought it in the house, and tested it, and it does make some sound, but not much, like listening to a set of headphones, with out wearing them, and it sounds horrible.

i am thinking the coil may be out of alignment, and sticking not allowing the sub to move, but i am not going to take it apart, just in case mark will come through for me, and help me out.

also, i am certainly not trying to discourage anyone from buying mach 5products. there are many that have run theirs harder and longer than me, with no problems. mine must just be an isolated case of some sort.

He has always had excellent service, from the time i bought it till now.

I just felt crappy cause i lost my bass and had to tell someone that would understand what having no bass is all about. Anyways, he came through, like i figured, and all is well.
