My Mag impressions.....

[cjj2d 0]

Ok, so yes I was one of the lucky ones to demo the prototype of this new Mag. And I "kinda" knew what to expect, though the proto 15 had some chrome problems leaking into the pole causing non 100% performance.

So I did know how much better to expect from the production driver.

So it came in wed. and I put it in thursday. I just completely swapped it out with my other Mag (previous version) same box, same amp, same amp settings, xover settings, same everything except the new driver.

So I let it break in for 2 days on my drives to work (45 min one way). Didn't turn it up past 20, out of 35, just to warm her up and all. just some good ol Panic to break her in. (schools is real good at dropping some bombs to breeak it in right).

Then today was the first day I really put it to the Mag. and yet I didn't even give it all I got, still staying pretty conservative (sub level at 8 out of 15, volume not higher than 24 out of 35 yet) and DAMN am I impressed as to what this thing can do already.

as far as SPL: with nothing changed YES this driver gets noticably louder than the previous Mags. I can really say that it is moving some windows and chest walls more than my other mag, I knew it would be more but I didn't expect this much more.

as for SQ and PERFORMANCE: The sound quality of the new Mag is levels above the previous version, and I was impressed with its sq too. But the new Mag (what v.4???) really has SQ to the extreme. It handles the double kick drum better than any sub I have heard. And as everyone has noted this thing gets low, lower, lower, and even lower than you could ever imagine. where the old mag got low then left off, the new one gets lower and even lower with ease. I read all about it and experienced it with the proto some, but then once I got to it today I REALLY noticed how much lower it gets and how much more responsive it gets. The new mag produces all the notes with ease. When rolling from a real low beat to extreme fast it does it with no problem.

OVERALL: A DAMN FINE PURCHASE AND UPGRADE!!!! Nick and everyone really put their work into this sub and it shows. The improvements over what was already a kick ass sub are awesome. The SQ got better, the SPL got better, the low end REALLY got better, and yet all this without changing ANYTHING on my system except swapping out the drivers.

sorry this is kinda long, I just really wanted to get everything covered. My only problem is now, I think I really want to add a second 15, why I am not sure it defenatly is not neccasary but damn I am tempted to see what would happen other than me going deaf and my bumper falling off.

THANKS NICK and STEREO INTEGRITY!!!!

See, I'm not totally full of it. I'm glad you feel the driver is a good as I think it is. The 15" units really do sound good - good enough to toss our Aura Reference sub in storage.

I'll vouch for that... it really did stomp the Aura!

I'm playing around with fiberglass trying to get my 12" installed. Could be a while since I'm starting from ground zero with this car... but I'm extremely excited. These new drivers really are amazing.
