I thought I read some where that Mark was going to have a 15" sub available in the future.

If this is true, will it be DVC 4 ohm or will it be SVC 4 ohm? Whats the RMS going to be for it?

Hi Unit,

You're right, there will be a 15" coming. Its a finish to the MAW line so it will be a dual 4 Ohm (nominal) vc and 500 watts RMS power handling.

Here are the specs (from the manufacturer):

MAW-15

Fs = 24.6Hz

Re = 4 Ohm (both coils connected in series)

Qms = 5.06

Qes = 0.35

Qts = 0.33

Rms = 7.2kg/s

Cms = 0.18mm/N

Mms = 236.7gr

Bl = 20.4

SPL = 90.9

VAS = 190L

Le = 2.41mH

Xmax = 13mm

These may vary a bit as I take my own measurements when I receive the order. I select a few units randomly, exercise the suspension and test them before posting the final numbers on the site.

Best regards,

Mark

Thanks Mark, I cant wait until you get them in stock.

any update on the 15?

Hi Denim,

Nothing yet. I have a pre-order in with the OEM but the rep I deal with is away. Will keep you posted tho...

Best,

Mark

I ask because the 15 could be a big time mover for you. Many people shy away from 18s and want larger than a 12.

Hey! You stole my avatar!

I hereby condemn you to listen to Bose speakers at 125db for 24 hours!

That'll teach ya! ;)

Mark

dont know 2 much about mach5 products but that 15 looks like it has potential

80

4 Ohms nominal refers to the driver having a 4 Ohm impedance across most of its operating range. This is different from DC resistance which can measure anywhere from 1.8 to 3.5 Ohms.

Hope this helps.

Mark, will we be able to send in a deposit like with the 18? I would love to have a 15" or 2 paid for before or by the time you get them.

Or at least have a pair reserved, I have a feeling your subs are going to blow up and I mean that in a good way!

  • Admin

in appearance are they going to look similar to the 12's?
