Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. I finally got a change to play with my eq a bit yesterday and the mach5 sub sounds great now with the edi6500s and blends beautifully, but with that said, im still using the PRO400X5. I do know what you mean about the cone noise, we threw it on my buddy's JL 500.1 and raised the gains to just before it was bottoming and it was pretty noisy (around 400wrms on the DMM). (I don't know how well winISD models cone excursion, but it also looks like the M5 will bottom with anything over 400wrms in the ported box I wanted to build, so it might not be the best choice for this application in my install either).

I'd stil like to hear from people who have experience with the MAW-12 ported and/or the mach5 audio mids. I do love my eDis, theres probably no reason to go switching them out for a lower cost driver, then again Ben gave me a really sweet deal on them in the first place as well as all of the eD gear I used to have... I wish I had kept in better touch with him.

Sassmaster, I know all about the eD quality, Ive owned edi6500s, 13kv2s, 16kv2s, 16ov2s, 12Kxs, etc I too have been a very happy eD customer

If I could still get the 16Kv2 I'd be doing that in a sealed spare tire well enclosure and be calling it a day. I should have never sold mine. Now my friend won't sell it back.

I should probably just get a 13Kv2 since I also have a set of fiberglass door panels that I know the edis fit in, but im not so sure about the mach5 mids.

I'd love to hear your results in the bandpass Smartass.

Thanks again guys, further input welcomed!
