Well Mik....I can speak from expierience with both products.....but keep in mind I have never had a single twelve setup because I've never been able to find a low priced single twelve that stood up to my 6500's. It's always been two 12's of one 15 for me. I have 2 Maw 15's in right now.

The covienience and price of mach5 is a big factor(three blocks away for me). But the output and sq of the eD will be a bit higher. Now the question is...why not try a spare well enclosure with a MAW 15?

BTW.....I use a MRP-F240 for my 6500's right now. But this summer the PG ti600.2 will move over to power them when I get my new sub amp.

UPDATE

Well we installed the Mach 5 MAW-12 into a 4th order and bandpass and ran it with 500Wrms from our Sundown Audio Prototype 1000D amp. All I can say is WOW! This box and driver combo gets loud and low and sounds great. I originally ran this sub for testing in a sealed box and did ok but reached its mechanical limiteds at 400+ watts. Bang for the buck very hard to beat. Thanks Mach 5 (Mark)

Thanks for the update. That has been the norm for the MAW 12's from what I have seen......they sound good but because of a softer suspension it doesnt like to be abused.

Awesome... If I have room in my car heading back to NS from AB I'll take the MAW12 along too (can't seem to find a buyer up here for some reason).
Mind if i ask what the vehicle was and what volumes and tuning you used for the 4th order?
