sorry i had to run away for a few, what i wanted to add on was that if you buy 2 kinda lower quality woofers what are you gonna do once you wanna put some serious power through them. from the sounds of these they can take a beating from most amps and still keep goin strong.
i would rather spend more money the first time then keep spending money on somthing thats not really that good. like going from jensen to pyle to legacy to lanzar to (a top of the line sub)... you know what i mean?
and also why pass up the opportunity to get cost on a sub, where as a deal now is what retail is on the mach 5's?

But the main reason I think your price point may be a tad high is because for the same money, someone could buy a pair of Mach5 drivers instead of one. I think in most cases, a pair of Mach5 drivers will have more displacement.
Regardless your intended price points are still very fair. They're just not priced crazy cheap like Mach5 is.

While someone could buy a pair of Mach5 drivers for the price of one of Steve's, someone with a tad more money could buy 2 of Steve's, still cheaper than some brand name subs..... Just remember that for most of us, we just want a pair of 12s that can rock our socks at any volume.

Very cool guys, like I said Mark over at Mach 5 does know his stuff well. And there MAW-12 is a 350wrms driver vs our 650Wrms 12. Can't really compair the two drivers as they are a different target market. Also we are possibly toying with the idea of including shipping Canada wide in those retail prices. As the 12 and 15 are super heavy. We have 3 prototypes that the company sent to us for approval and to check them out. From there sent them out to another company for testing for t/s numbers and box calculations. Thats done now they are on the way back here. We have a PO in for a small field test order which I was explaining and offering to you guys and will have enough first run to take care of at least 4 people for each size. We get some feedback and if they seem to be a hit then a ordering we will go. Have to watch the funds as this has been a costly endevor so far. So have to roll it out like this. Trying not to go into debt for this. Anymore thoughts?
