Subwoofers / Speakers

I have my maw in a 2.45net sealed encolsure, and while it gets fairly loud, i long for a bit more output. I was designing a new box for it, and came up with around 3.1ct net tuned to around 33hz. only problem is fitting a large port in there. was either planing on a single 4" aero port, or dual 3" aero ports. slot port will not work due to size. My problem is i dont want to take up my whole trunk, and the dims i have to work with are 33"wx16.75"hx14"d. i would prefer to have the ports firing toward the rear as well as the sub. Not alot of port area, but the sub is not an spl monster, and has a lower 13mm xmax. just wondering what people thought of that setup as fa…

Hi, There is so little information on the mach5audio.com site regarding the MAW series. I wanted to know about the materials used in these subwoofers. What material is the cone, surround, and basket made of? Thanks!

I have heard the MACH5 woofers mentioned when people ask for inexpensive "troopers" but I naver researched them for myself.......the MAW-10 are the avialable in a d2 config?...also how much space is needed for sealed and ported, how small of a enclosure will these still shine in?...... .5^ft? thanks guys. also are they $48 shipped to 72118 con US

This is a re-post of my MAW-10 Ported Subwoofer Project. This subwoofer performs very well, producing nice tight bass. The rear porting gives some flexibility to adjust the response by moving towards or away from a wall. The MAW-10 driver easily soaks up all the power that the small plate amplifier can deliver. This subwoofer design easily outperforms my 10" JBL PB-10 subwoofer and it integrates very well with my Fostex FE127E Sealed Bipole Project. Over all, this sub performs very well and it makes for a simple and inexpensive project. Pictures and enclosure details are available at: MAW-10 DIY Ported Subwoofer Project. Cheers, Gio.

Moved my Q to Mach 5 Audio Forum. Thx!

I was thinking about building a box, but just found one for my Mach 5 MAW-12 sub but am not sure how the sub will sound with the specs on the "Bassworx Box" http://hamilton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=11...EPLY_TO_AD_SENT. The specs for a MAW-12 recommended are 1.8cf for a ported box, and this Bassworx box seems to be a little bigger. It looks like a good price, and would save me the hassle of building my first box. What might it do for the sound of the sub? The perameters for the MAW-12 can be found on the Mach5 website http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html I have space for it in my 1995 Impala SS and would be running it on a 250rms 5th channel MTX 895.5. I was looking to…

I am wondering if this sub can come in either of these. I need to wire down to a 2 ohm load. Thanks for the help.

Hi folks and Mark, I purchased an MAW-12 earlier this year to build into a home audio set-up for my apartment, to also match with another DIY speaker project I completed this year. I built it in a sealed top-firing configuration with a separation between the driver and the top plate. The bottom is heavily reinforced and the sub now sits on a square cement plate covered with foam window insulation. I did all this in an effort to minimize floor vibrations and to help prevent too many enemies forming against me while I begin the DIY audio thing. I'll post a picture and a link to see the sub with the other components of the system it is matched with. I'd like to say t…

Heh.. Here is what my mom was running before: Here is her new setup with the MAW-12's: I have them running on my 100.2 in my truck right now till all my parts are here for my setup... The SQ is better compared to the sealed punch s1 and gets nice and low.. Not too bad for less then 400wRMS between them as I haven't set the gain yet. Definetly a great buy for the money.

Box is 3.7 CuFt @ 33 Hz Thanks Mach 5 for the wonderful support when dealing with you guys !.. Will def do business in the near future

hey guys, just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the 15" Mach 5 MAW-15 for SPL? how well does it perform? i've got a escort hatchback right now, i was thinking of just sticking it in a crx style box, tuned around 45hz w/ 2 4" aeroports off 600w for now, should be upgrading to something more powerful with in a few weeks.. what do you guys think? will it break 140s?

hey guys, im getting ready to order a Kicker KX700.5 to run my components and a sub (possibly a MAW-15). I was curious if you guys think 400 watts would be enough to push the MAW-15 in a 2.2 ft^3 sealed enclosure. i tried searching over on caraudio.com, but couldn't really find much, so i figured i would ask here first. thanks for any help.

I was graphing the MAW-15 on winISD and it shows that the MAW-15 will do fine in a 2 cu. ft. ported box tuned to 32hz would you all recommend this? this is for someone who is looking for SQ and little group delay thanks

ok im getting bored so i decide to look into getting a sub to play with i have a RF punch P3 right now its ok just wanna be able to say i have had experience with different woofers and right now that is the MAW-15 has anyone had any experience with this sub how is its performance and power handling

Okay the recommendation for a sealed MAW-15 is 2.2 cubes which from my calculations will result with a Q of 0.548 (roughly) which should yield a tight response. I usually have built enclosures before with a Q of .7 and at the very least built enclosures with Q of around 6. My question is that has anyone tried these with a higher Q than the recommended and what were your results? For example below are some boxes sizes I came up with, no damping fill. Vb of 2.93 cubes = Q of 0.501 Vb of 2.5 cubes = Q of 0.524 Vb of 2.2 cubes = Q of 0.548 Vb of 1.88 cubes = Q of 0.578 Vb of 1.65 cubes = Q of 0.605 Vb of 1.10 cubes = Q of 0.704 Vb of 0.61 cubes = Q of 0.904

Can't find them anywhere. How much did they retail for?

So I heard the MAW's were being discontinued. Any truth to this? And will this mean the MJ-18's too? I think an 18" that can fit in 4cuft ported is way to cool to discontinue.

in my possession yep, tomorrow, sealed box testing, and a little tl action wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I measure my trunk...w/ the spare in it Alot tighter than i expected So 2 12s will fit the bill I was thinking 2 maw12's in a 4 cubic ft. box tuned to 30hz or 28hz then give them bout 400-500 watts a piece...that sound good?

hey guys, this is a little clip of my setup, coustic 600SE, 15" maw15 in a 2.5 cube box at @ 45hz (comp. box, lol) in my friends 95 gmc jimmy, heres a quick video: EDITTT fixxxxed http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=4qpkx1u

If was to get a box THE have 2 cu ft. per chamber...its only .2 below the reccommend box size sealed for the maw15...it wouldnt make that much of a difference correct? edit... umm how much polyfill? since the box is under the reccomended size?

whats the difference in sound, power handling and pretty much overall?..since their made by the same people it makes it hard for me to choose..i dont like the look of the new n2 so im leaning more toward the mayhem..and weight is not an issue..

Ok guys,first of all hello to everyone,im new here and sorry in advance for my english since it is not my main language,and for my ignorance about Sub's,Boxes ,and similar I am getting myself a 15" MB Quart Reference series RWE 352 subwoofer : (Source:Google ) It's 700w rms,1400 max,15",and im getting it very cheap from a friend,its almost brand new ^^ Problem is,i asked couple of guys,and saw on net that its recomended for this Sub to go in Sealed box 50 liters~....I already have a 300w RMS 10" Radical Audio subwoofer in a 26l sealed box,and ...weeell im not satisfied,i mean,its clean,fast precise bass,but just aint louuuuuud :/ So im kinda concerned how will it b…

how are mb quart and boston subs? what are thy good for? do they worth to buy them? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 and http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-Boston-Acou...QQcmdZViewItem i know they are wonderful on components but in subs?

I did some searching all over the net and here and really didn't see anything much on MB Quart stuff. I am checking out components to pair with a sundown amp in the future and MB Quart kinda caught my eye. I know they were good in the past when they werent owned by maxxonics and have heard mixed reviews since their merge. I am kinda wishy washy with what i actually wind up doing but i am looking for comps for the front to replace the ones i have no, 6.5's, my rear doors have midbass which i want to replace with a second set of comps and my rear deck is compose of 2 6x9's which i want to swap out for 2 midbass addons. Any input? Im looking around the 200ish mark for ea…
