Sorry...

Oh, there will be a few....

The MAW's do not come in dual 2 configuration. I received a few units in for testing and still have them crated. They are not a normal stocking item nor will they ever be. Hope this clears things up. Best, Mark

Hang in there... I'll check it out tomorrow for you.

You can kick him later...

Yup, they will be dual 2's but the model number will remain 15.4... just cuz...

You would be the first I've heard of if you decide to go thru with it. You can share the experience(s)..

They're coming... and you might like them.

Thanks for all the comments guys - I appreciate it. It was a tough decision to make, but I think it will dispel a lot of myths and innuendo about Mach 5 pricing. I will keep the shipping as low as possible to benefit everyone. If you see slight adjustments in the near future, it is my 'fine tuning' of them. Best regards, Mark

The SPL 12 will be arriving within 6-8 weeks. It will be priced appropriately compared to other SPL/SQ-based drivers that are currently on the market - with a twist of Mach 5... Best, Mark

The pre-order is now over. Thanks to all who stepped up to take advantage of a killer deal. Best, Mark

Hi Everyone, The SPL 12 is complete, and while it came over and above our initial budget plans of ~$160, it also surpassed everything I was expecting an SPL driver to be. A big thanks go out to Loyd, Chad and Aaron for providing the necessary input needed to get this off the ground. As I've stated to others in the past, this is the most aggressive driver to be released by Mach 5, both in output and in cost (the cost to build this is high). I had to incur a fair bit up front for extra tooling in order to get this unit to production, but I think it will be worth the investment in the long run. Now the good news: If you want in on the ground level, I will make it MORE than worth your while. I have been told that a driver of this caliber would sell for approximately $400 - $450 each. Those who participate in the pre-order will receive the unit for $210USD each plus shipping. The basket will have the aligator finish on it - it is just so much more sexy.. The sub will come with a nice aluminum trim ring for those of you who want to use it as a daily pounder. It will replace the rubber gasket. Folks who plan to use it in the lanes can get recone kits for it - cheap as well. Here are the T/S parameters: Power Handling = 2,500 watts Fs = 36.60 Hz Re = 3.60 ohms (coils wired in series) Qt = 0.32 Qes = 0.35 Qms = 3.65 Mms = 271.25 grams Rms = 17.083555 kg/s Cms = 0.000070 m/N Vas = 19.38 liters Sd= 444.88 cm^2 Bl = 25.199953 Tm Lp(2.83V/1m) = 89.69 dB ****************************************************** Update ****************************************************** Pre-Order Information and Instructions Before you decide to commit to this pre-order, please take a moment to read and understand these important points: * Price of the SPL 12 is $210.00USD per unit PLUS shipping. The unit weighs 55 pounds without packing box so don't expect the shipping cost to be cheap. These units will be shipped from Winnipeg Canada. * Price of the SPL 12 recone kit is $100.00USD per unit plus shipping. The packing box will probably weigh more than the recone so don't worry about shipping costs too much on this. * To get in on this great deal, a $100.00USD deposit PER UNIT will be required. Please note that this deposit is NON REFUNDABLE. Balance of cost (which will include shipping charges) will be due at time of shipping to you. Shipping charges will be made available once I know your address. * Those who partake in the pre-order will be placed on a special mailing list and notified of periodic updates. You will get informed about the order as I do. To receive these updates make sure your SPAM filter allows Email from [email protected]. * BE PATIENT. Production of these will begin next week, and we could be looking at a number of weeks before they are completed and shipped out. You will be informed at every major step of the way through the mailing list. Payment Instructions If you are comfortable with the above points and wish to proceed with a purchase, send me $103.20USD per unit (this includes the stupid PayPal charge) to [email protected]. Make sure your mailing address in PayPal is current as I will be using that to calculate shipping costs to get the units to you. If you live in Canada, send $107.99CAD per unit ordered. The Email address in your Paypal account will be used in the mailing list unless you specify otherwise. ****************************************************** Update ****************************************************** Pre-order ends Friday August 3 ****************************************************** Update ****************************************************** I have received feedback on the type of finish of the basket from many people. It seems the consensus is in favour of the silver/black finish as shown in the picture over the alligator finish I initially planned for. Based on this feedback, the basket finish will be switched to the silver/black finish. Thanks to all who responded with comments. Best, Mark

New pricing now includes shipping within North America. I made the announcement in late July but didn't follow through with the change until today. Best, Mark

Have you looked at some of the shallow mount units out there? There are a few brands that are quite capable from what I understand...

How much total space can you afford to give up to subs?

Anywhere they will fit basically. What do you plan to do with them?

I really can't answer that. What I can tell you is they will sweep more air than the single 15", and by doing so they will produce more output. The rest is left to the install and the environment they are going into.

It depends on what you classify as 'loud'. With 1.4kw behind them, they will be loud...

All three models in the MAW series have the following: - craft pulp cones - cast baskets - aluminum formers - rubber surrounds - rubber wrap-around gaskets - screw-down terminals - dual voice coils - vented poles - chrome backplate Hope this helps you. Best, Mark

~0.25 cubes.

About 0.2 cubes...

Just buy one. You will be happy. Production is coming along just fine...
