Hey Guys I Brought a Dayton sa1000 rack amp and was wondering what would be the best driver to pair it with for HT? Im in Australia so the choices are limited. I was looking at the Dayton um-18-22 18" ultimax to match the amp or am I better to try and find a mach 5 uxl-18 or is there a better...

Hello fellow shacksters, has anybody tried modeling the Mach 5 Audio FTW-LTE? I am on deployment and my laptop crapped out on me. So if anybody can model the FTW-LTE for me, I just want to see how it simulates in a sealed enclosure. Thanks.

It's taken maybe 6 months to make a final decision but a few weeks ago I pulled the trigger on 2 FTW-21's and an iNuke NU6000DSP. I received the first FTW-21 yesterday and WOW!! I knew it would be big and I know how to read 21" on a tape measure but I don't think I had any idea how massive a 21"...

Well I am very late in posting my progress on my build. After thinking about what I was really after with this build, I decided I was after trying to get as much low end extension as I could get and fit into my home theater room. I have a L shaped room that is about 2100 sq. ft. My main...

Could someone help me model the mach 5 uxl 18 in an 8 cf box tuned to 20 hz and the Dayton Titanic mk3 15 in the same box?

Hello I am new to the forum. I have been viewing it for sometime and I'm really impressed with how helpful the mods are the the quality of work people are accomplishing with their help. Im interested in making a Sonotube with the Mach 5 Phallus . I would like to tune it to 15hz as I will be...

Hello. I am placing a order for 2 18" Phallus and I was hoping to get some advice as to a what would be the ideal size inclosure to use since my space is limited and would like to go as large as possible. The challenge is that I am also using the boxes to hold up my other speakers on the Left...

New woofer coming out from Mark Just wanted to let others know. Carbon Fiber cone Phase plug and much more useful at above 200hz than the UXL. This subwoofer from what I have heard was more geared towards SQ. http://www.istonline.ca/mach5_phallus.html Mark again has made another amazing...

I'm contemplating a 2-18" subwoofer build, and I've seen quite a little discussion on IST's drivers, and oooooh yeah, the spec's look good. BUT, I can't locate TS parameters for the IXL-18.4, and there are some available for sale priced within my budget. I don't have modeling software but have...

I need help with building a ported subwoofer with an IST Mach 5 18" (IXL-18) driver with a Behringer ep4000. What size box and port do i use to get the best sound? The driver site says 200 litres (7 cu.ft.) 19hz tuning. No size limits and will probably be down fireing (is this a problem?)

Hi guys, I have just ordered a new FTW 21 and now am in need of some design help for a suitable box. I am going for a large ported enclosure of around (but not limited to) 20cuft tuned to around 15hz, I want this thing to shake the house! Mainly it will be used for HT but occasional music, my...

Mach 5 audio has the UXL 18's back in stock and ready to ship. The IXL 18's are also a few days away from being back in stock as well. The FTW 21's are also still in stock and ready to go. Let the games begin!!!

What would you do between 4 18" IXLs or 2 FTW 21" drivers. Looking to go sealed from ported. Yes I know, I didn't think I would end up thinking about it. I am waiting for a price back from Mark at IST about shipping to the UK but it would be good to get some opinions. 4 IXL's would be cheaper...

So who is going to venture out and build a sealed 21" beast?!??! Wondering what the price is on this one. Any rumors? Wonder how big the box how to be for a 21" sealed configuration.

I came across this new driver from Mach 5 Audio while doing comparison modeling of IB drivers. http://www.istonline.ca/xmass-18.html The website states this is a Christmas special and quantities are limited. It's a 18 inch, 13mm Xmax, 400 watt, 2 ohm driver that models well in Infinite...

I lost my Maelstrom 21" due to a burnt voice coil. I saw a ding on the end of the coil and couldn't find a suitable replacement driver so Mark is building me a pair of the Pi-18s. He will ship Monday. I have 13 cubes, an Exodus 21" Pr to replace the Maelstrom and also have will have one AE...

Finally got my cabinet built. 25x25x25 cube with two EX PR-18's with 1600 grams mass on each one. Amp is Crown XS900. Using a minidsp with a bi-quad programmed high pass filter at 13hz. Got everything hooked up and playing a bass test tone at 24hz quarter volume. Sub sonds terrible. Scraping...

Hello all, A quick word to say that although I've only just signed up to be a member, I've trawled these forums for information in the past and can't say how helpful it's been so far! As for myself, I'm a first-time builder looking to put together a decent subwoofer. My goal is for a speaker...

Has anybody tried to model the new Mach 5 UXL-18 for an LLT build? I'm trying to follow the basic idea laid out in the LLT Explained post, but I get a hump around the tuning freq. when I model a larger enclosure (~650L). I can't seem to get the desired 4db/octave roll-off above the tuning freq...

Hi All I purchased a Mach 5 IXL 15.2.2 driver based on a suggestion from Graham (Gperkins_1973) and in part because Mike P. built one and seemed to like it. I'll be posting my build here to thank the community, especially Graham and Mike P, for the input. I am nearly complete with my build...
