Mach 5 Audio
|
Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 261 Registered: Oct-06 | I am just curious as to how the Mach 5 Audio subs perform in general. Are the SPL's much better than the IXL series? Im guessing the SPL's get loud and the IXL's have better sound quality but thats just a guess. I havent heard of this brand before and there is a place near me that has them at decent prices. Any thoughts? |

I had a 15" MAW and for as cheap as it was it really suprised me. I also regret selling mine  I should have kept it and used it for HT. |

Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 262 Registered: Oct-06 | Seems like they are a highly valued brand. I am actually thinking of going from my DD 9512 to maybe a Mach 5 SPL 15. I like the DD, but it doesn't perform on the low end as much as I would like. Also I noticed that the Mach 5 subs are recommended to be tuned low. I am assuming that they will have great low end output. Is this true? Do you think I will be disappointed going from the 9512 to the Mach 5 SPL? |

Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 263 Registered: Oct-06 | I live in Sydney, Australia. Shipping will cost as much as the sub itself. There is a local dealer of Mach 5 Audio here. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 6462 Registered: Feb-06 | way to try and push a different sub rather than help the op quentin. if you can't help or anything, why even post in the thread? |

I had the SPL-12 for a while, very strong driver that can be used daily, and the IXL's have been doing very well. Moey, there is a new Mach5 dealer in Australia, email Mach5 to find out where. |

Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 264 Registered: Oct-06 | Yea I found out about the new dealer recently. Decent prices compared to other high end drivers here. e.g DD 9500 ~$1400, JL W7 ~$1300 LOL Can pick up an 18" IXL for about $300 and a 15" SPL for about $580 |

Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 267 Registered: Oct-06 | Hey Denim, how was the low end of the SPL-12 you had? Anyone else used the SPL and can comment on the low end output? |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 6463 Registered: Feb-06 | honestly, if you want to read/get reviews of mach5, go to another forum. i doubt many here, maybe 4-5, have even heard a mach5 sub. go to caraudio.com and you'll get more help on them. |

But if your intended usage is mostly daily, opt for the IXL if you have less then 1200 watts. Here is the Mach5Audio forum: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showforum=50 |
