Im thinking about getting 2 15 inch mach 5's. they are 500 watt rms and dual 4 ohm. http://mach5audio.com/index-2.html

I want to put them in a sealed box. and will be running them at 1 ohm from a hifonics bx1500d. Giving them there full power.

Will it be louder and hit lower and harder then my current 12 inch fi ssd fully loaded in a 1.8-2.0 cu ft ported tuned at 32 hz?

My car is a 4 door sedan and cabin gain suck. I cant get anything loud enough for me in this car. will these 2 15's do it?

I haven't heard much about mach 5. but the review that are out are decent. let me know. Thanks in advance.

2 15's > 1 12 in most all cases... (where power ratings are about even)

Go with 15s, they should move more air and hit harder..I would suspect.

don't mean to thread hi-jack but denim would you do custom mach5 subs, my friend was looking at the mj-18 but it needs to be 2ohm.

Hey Dustin,

sorry, I cannot swap coils on the MJ-18's. That sub though comes in a 4 ohm mono and does not need tons of power to get going and have great sound in the right enclosure. What amp does your friend have?

why not the MAW-15? That would match perfect.

ya but right now he has 2 15inch kicker comps and he thinks 1 15 won't get as loud as 2 kickers, thats why he wants an 18.
