If I remember right, from the great 12 challenge. The mag gets a little bit lower and has a little bit more SQ. The Q had more output and very close in SQ and hitting low.


Talk to Mike Loudon I think he has heard both. and Bassman3 has heard a 12" Q sealed. Also check the other forums like CA and SS. Thats how I got all my info about the same topic.

When the MAG comes in 18" Yanks, it's yours for an outrageously low price. Just, well....cause.

"This driver was designed with both SPL and SQ in mind. It can blend extremely well, follow fast bass riff's, and drop down low with the best of them. At SI, we like to have our cake and eat it too. We like playing 8 Hz dinosaur stomps that shake steering columns and entire vehicles and then going to another track with extremely tight kick drums."
Mags dont have lows... (chuckles)
I'll show you the lows in a few weeks 8)

The MAG gets very low. Don't go by what people tell you, listen to angels in your ear in person :-) The MAG does get lower and has better SQ. Yes the Q gets louder but you will never hear the difference until you put 1500 rms on a Q. Then when going over rated rms, the SQ goes down. Q is a nice sub, but I like to get LOUD and hear slipknot double bass clean and crisp.

Q it is. And it may be sooner than you think Yanks.



And I know I over paid for the Mag, even at the group price. But then again, that's who I am. I'm not competing, just happy.
