I do coming from a single maw 15 sealed. It sounds great, and gets loud even though i dont have enough power to fully power it. Great sub all around. By my ear, i would say i am in the 131-134db range off 300ish rms, in the trunk of a 98 2 door neon, sealed box 2.45 net. Someone up here in Canada scored 138+db in a celica iirc on the car. sealed as well. he had about 800rms on tap though. Tl meter. I think the post about it is on here somewhere, in the Mach 5 part, or it may be on the canadian car audio forum.

looks good. how loud is it to your ears?

its a long way off 140db. i would guess i am hitting between 133-135db from other cars i've heard. and i am underpowering the maw. with 600+ rms i have no doubt i would be 136+ no 140 by any means, but ported should be able to do it even tuned lower than he is tuning.

i am pretty sure i'll be there as well this time to get metered. single maw 15" sealed in 2.45 net. from what i have heard in other cars i should be above 130 no prob.

my maw in 2.45 sealed is nice. great lows, and very linear response. no real peak at all. lacks in the higher bass though as you approach 70hz and up.

should be able to get 140 tuned that high no prob. imo

Go for the ported box, but maybe you don't need 32sqft of port area. That is the nearly free option. whoops. lol i guess i dont need that much.

wow like i said you are everywhere.

I am either going to port my single maw i have now (3cf net tuned to 32 hz with 31sq ft of port area) or buy another maw and do 2 sealed at 3.5cf net , only no separate chambers. . there is a brace though . Which would be your choice? I want louder, but dont want to lack in sq. i would stuff the sealed box heavily to make up for the space. which do you "think" would be louder out of the 2 setups?

There was pics before the crash. lol, of the build and everything along with a vid. there is a vid on roe of the sub getting around 150 rms. nothing special. i will get a good vid up soon with the power i have now. i think i have figured a way to do 2 sealed. i would prefer that to 1 ported. only thing is i couldn't have separate chambers . still may go ported.

sounds awesome. Now vids!!!!!! If its vids you want, its vids you get. lol. I'll try to get some tonight, or tomorrow. 25hz ripples my trunk. and shakes the glass in the front door of the house pretty darn good from 15-20 ft away. Still underpowering it though. i figure somewhere in the vicinity of 300rms going to it. got to upgrade this amp.

I am still in amazment about the change. I thought i was hitting the low notes before, but now it reaches way down with some good output. the biggest difference i noticed was in late nite tip, and throw it up. i never knew throw it up had such a low note in it. its almost as los as late nite tip. oh well, i am happy. cant wait till i port it.

Well i have been bumping the maw for a couple months now, and have just recently been being hard on it. Today on the way home i was listening to late nite tip, when the whole sound changed. literally like night and day instantly. never saw, or heard anything like this before. now it gets right down and plays the low low note in that song like the others. at first i thought the sub was screwed, cause it sounded so different. then i realised it was playing clearer and louder than before, plus hitting lower. anyone ever experiance this with any sub? pretty crazy huh?

whats the setup? box size? tuning if any? i plan on porting my maw this week-end i think. just gotta get my hands on a 6" aero. wood should be cut and together for the most part this week-end. just gotta get a port. my single maw 15" pounds sealed, but i yearn for just a bit more output. and i agree very clean subs. they dont seem to like the higher bass though, but i also have a large sealed box which accounts for some of it.

39hz song? throw it up, little john. great song for spl.
