Posted June 30, 200718 yr Mark,I was just wandering if your SPL 10 or 12 is getting close to production?thanks
July 2, 200718 yr Yeah, its real close. I just need to firm up pricing and change cosmetics a bit. We are looking at the most aggressive driver to come from Mach 5 - both in price and performance.This unit will be a combo of high SPL capabilities with sound quality decent enough for daily driving. For those who want it for daily there will be a nice aluminum basket mounting ring for the sex appeal. For those who want it for shear output, a rubber wrap-around gasket will also be included.Due to the high pricing of this unit (sorry to break the under $200 price barrier) and get the full commitment from those who are interested, a pre-order will be taking place in the coming days.More on this later.Best,Mark
July 3, 200718 yr Admin For first hand experience, I have been testing the 2nd prototype. Mark has the latest edition/version. Though there are some upgrades and improvements over the old version I have, I am surprised as the level of low freq reproduction this thing has. Most SPL subs that I have had hands on experience with tend to be weak in the bottom of the low freq range because they are meant to peak higher. My only need now is more power for it to push it to and maybe past its limits. SPL wise it has put up good numbers on minimal testing (thank you to Randy for a sweet box). So knowing Mark, this will be very solid and killer for the price.I have tested it in:1.1 cubes sealed2.0 @27hz ported3.1 @33hz ported3.5 @52hz ported.
July 4, 200718 yr come on aaron, let the cat out of the bag, to see if I am going to be running mach 5 spl subs for street A or not.
July 4, 200718 yr Dual 2's. What others would you like to see?Dual 1.5's or Dual 1ohm.I imagine the dual 2 ohm will have a DC Resistance of around 1.4 ohm per coil, if that's what you're asking for.
July 4, 200718 yr You're right Neil. If dual 1's are requested, they would probably end up ~0.7 Ohm (off the top of my head of course - other things must be factored in).
July 5, 200718 yr Will these be offered at the SSA shop as are the MAW 15" is? , if so I will probably wait until its offered there to pick one up.
July 5, 200718 yr Admin How much power have you put into it and how much power would you like to?The most amount of power I have had on it is my Orion 2500D.
July 5, 200718 yr Admin What type of db numbers?It has hovered in the lower 140's but off a single battery and it needs more power.
July 5, 200718 yr Admin come on aaron, let the cat out of the bag, to see if I am going to be running mach 5 spl subs for street A or not.That is up to Mark if he wants to do 10's or not. The 12 by it self can achieve some strong out put, but to beat or stay with the top guys in street A, dual 10's are needed.
