car speakers

I think you're wrong about the MTX's. They're very well-priced, and the quality is top notch, not to mention a LIFETIME WARRENTY. If it breaks, they replace it no matter what. Can't beat that. They are easily better than some overpriced Solarbarics or anything like it.

The amps are also very dependable, not to mention they look great with those lights on the ends. My system is easily one of the hardest hitting in the area, and for the space, the db's it reaches is amazing. I've yet to get it metered, but it's intense. It all has to do with the right combination of subs and amp, and powering them accordingly is what gives it that extra kick for certain lower notes.

I did my fair amount of research before getting them, as I was set on either the Solarbarics or R9's, but the guy who installed my stuff highly recommended the MTX Thunder series, so I couldn't say no. Dude knows what he's talkin about too; he's rated in the top-ten installers in the country. Just in his tiny little shop, he's done some SERIOUS installs to Hummers that still blow my mind. It's all good though, but MTX is highly underrated, and is actually making some noise now that the word is out about how much power some of their subs pack at such a fair price.

yea... ive only had exprince with like 3 amps made by mtx blowing out... and 2 subs, that are about to go in the fire... and of cource, a car that is about 2 be driven over with my truck... but yea... you sound like you know everything about stereos.... so i will let you be... i was just posting my personal exprince... and yea... have you guys ever seen that MTX jack hammer... they had it on pimp my ride... they had like 5000 watts worth of amps hooked up to just one fucking sub... and then put a DB meter in the dash... and gave him a set of head phones... so fucking stupid... but i think that that jack hammer thing would sort of be cool, if i was into compeating in bass stereo compitions...

haha ur not stoned hahaha i love stoned poeple, ummm fuckin, i got a 2001 audi a4 i used to have 2 audiobahns with an audiobahn 3000 watt amp and then some boston door speakers and boston amp with 300 watts, that system fucking screamed u have no idea, trust me i live in fl, nobody knows about caws like flawduh, haha no but for real i know my shit, audiobahn isnt great product but if u get the right shit it jams

then i got a jl w1 and blew it with a 500/1 so i upgraded to a 13w6

so right now i got the bostons which is 300 watts
and then my jl 13wmotherfucking6, with its 500/1 and it jams like a mother fucker, its nuts, not quite as good as the audiobahns but it jams (dont go by watts go by decibals)

my audiobahns were 143 and my 13w6 is 139

o yeah, mtx blows, if you can get it at a retail store like bestbuy, walmart, target, any of those kinda places, dont count on it being ne good

Around here, MTX isn't in any retail stores to my knowledge. Audiobahn, on the other hand, is always in stock at Best Buy.

I will agree with you that most stuff in retail is crap, too. Audiobahn's are so overpriced it's not even funny, same with JL. I almost bought into the JL W7's, but decided against it after the MTX's were a fraction of the price, and had better figures which was enough to convince me. Those two brands mentioned above are mostly for show, and when it comes down to it, there are plenty of better, lesser known brands that simply outperform.

The biggest sub in a car I've seen is 1600...


The speakers are back speakers are 400 each, and the front are 200..


2 front, 2 back, one sub.. 800+400+1600=2800.. And that is REALLY messing with my ears.. Sounds GREAT to..

So, 5000 is a little much..

Another mate has 2x1600 subs + 4x400

1600+1600+400+400=4000.. Still not 5000, but close.. And that is a SICK volume he can get.. lol

That's a good reminder, actually.

I should have stated that I'm running 2,500 RMS, and something like 5,000 peak. Of course that's excluding the high's and mid's, but anyways.

I agree with the one quality sub, too. Although I went into the installer wanting 3 quality 12's, and he advised that 4 across the bed of my truck would sound a lot better. And it does. =)

audiobahns in store are overpriced, and the audiobahns that are good dont even sell in stores you can get it online for less than a fraction of the price in stores anyways, mtx has no flagship sub, they made the one jackhammer or w.e but even that sucked, jl are quality subs, not quite competition but they are easily top 3 in sq, if you want good shit, look up resonant engineering and other brands that are somewhat underground

even rms doesnt count, cuz it said my rubs were 3000 rms, and peak 6000, i know for a fact they were no where near 3000 prob not even 1500, but w/e i always say 300 cuz thats what was on the box

[Its a Plant]

Yeah R.E. has always caught my eye. Probably the brand I would have gone with if not MTX. They're newer Thunder Series is what I have, and what one could possibly consider a flagship. The more expensive subs in the series (the 8500 and 9500's) are just sick.

And yeah, I too usually go with what it says on the box. That way if someone tells me I'm lying, I just say that the manufactur is lying to ME. ~

Lol, who said anything about it all being about watts?

But uhhh, yeah, I'm sure we'll learn that one day

If it's a crime to prefer good sound quality over stock stereo, lock me up. ~

I totally agree that stock stereo sucks and you should have good sound quality. But good sound quality is not about 1293192832watts and that shitty bass that makes your '85 piece of shit rattle like a fuckin' snake. Good sound quality is about good quality speakers in good quality enclosures. Not about the latest 500000000watt subwoofer.
