I am trying to stray my stepfather from going mainstream again and he wants a pair of kicker cvr's which I hear are good subs. But I see that the Maw's are cheaper and heard they sound better any way he is looking to through them in a sealed box as all he really likes is nice rear fill something to give him that nice kick drum in the rear as he listens to a lot of go-go music. Well some of you may be confused as to what is go-go music and the best way I can put it is this way imagine rock n roll with alot of percussions , bass guitars, keyboards, singer, rapper, and they do a lot of covers. So please inform me as to what would be a better setup for him.

and will when SS Audio be carrying some of your Maw 12's you guys have an ETA on when they will recieve their shipping?

well, to give you an unbiased opinion. i have heard both the maw 15, and the kicker cvr's. hands down the maw 15 will win. especially in a sealed box.

its got the punch of a good pair of tens, with some decent lows, and plenty of power handling to make it more than just rear fill. the box sizes don't need to be large when sealed so i think he'd rather save his money, get a single maw-15 in a sealed box, and feel the difference size makes.

I own the maw-15, don't call me biased though, i only buy stuff for how good it works, not what the name says.

overall, the maw-15 is comparable to a 15" rockford fosgate p3, (lacking a little bit of the lows by 5 hz) but coming in at less than half the price.

although, no matter what, the install is what makes the difference, if the box size is wrong, any subs can suck. i can't say i've heard the cvr's in optimal circumstances.

I am biased, but SSA is not scheduled to get MAW-12s in. IF more people knew about how good they were for the money then we could afford to do another shipment and we could carry the 10's and 12's. We have the MAW-15's, MJ18s, with the IXL18's and MLI-65's coming.

I would just order the maw12's from Mark in Canada, the shipping isn't that expensive. I order an mj18 and it wasn't bad at all.
