MJ-18 Single 8ohm

MJ-18 Single 4 ohm.

Only difference between those two would be the impedance...

Space, vehicle & power?

Vehicle is a 1996 Taurus.... and I havent decided which amp to push the subs yet with.... Maybe the Hifonics 1606d or the kicker 1000.1. Which would be better? or are there any amps that would better accomadate those two subs....

**Edit- Why are the Mach 5's so cheap? Also is the MAW-15 a 15" sub and can it handle 500 watts continuous or is it overrated?

The mach 5's are not overrated. far from. from what i've heard on these forums some people are burpin the maw-15's at 2k rms... my MAW-15 works really well near its 500 watts continuous rated power. the only time its an issue is when you are playing really low sub-harmonics like 10hz, and thats just due to excursion limitations. from the fs up, you can feed it plenty of power, and not have to worry.

teh maws are so cheap because mark wants them that way. no other reason, expect they are a no frills, do what they are designed to do, blue collar sub. mark could easily charge twice what he's charging.

the maws will indeed handle 500wrms. the maw12 i've played with took right at 600wrms for a few weeks, two different boxes, not a single issue.

the maws only come d4, so if your shopping for a pair (if you want 12s, you have to go direct from mach5audio.com), make sure teh amp you chose will produce it's power at 1 ohm mono, 2 ohm stereo or 4 ohm mono.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

On my other thread under amplfiers I suggest using the XT2000D. People seem to think its a good idea. Take a stroll over there and tell me what you think
