Anonymous | I am in the process of buying a 15 inch MTX Thunder 9500, and I just had a few questions about the sub. Has anyone heard the sub? How does it sound? Is the sound quality good? Is the sub extremly loud? I would appreciate all and any oppinions. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: AlpineuserWinchester, TN Post Number: 407 Registered: Mar-05 | i hate to say it but 4 9500 12s with 1500watts each would be more than "pretty loud" seeing how i have seen 1 15 with 1000watts do 149.2 on a termlab at the dash |

Anonymous | What would be louder, one 13.5 JL W7, or one 15 MTX Thunder 9500??? Cause everyone is saying that the MTX is a better sub for the money, and it will out perform the JL W7!!! |

Bronze Member Username: _andrew_Post Number: 47 Registered: Nov-04 | It seems like the 9500 is pretty picky about it's enclosures, in my experience. It takes the right box to make it sound good. With that in mind though, the 9500's pound. It is a very, very well-built sub - hell, they can take wall-current for minutes at a time. Not indestructable, but damn-near. 9500 is a good buy in my books any time. |

Silver Member Username: Addicted2bassMiami, FLORIDA USA Post Number: 742 Registered: Nov-04 | yeh what andrew said is totally true. The sledge hammer box spl output is ok, but the sq of that sub in that enclsoure is horrible. you put that sub in a enclousre such as powered4sound's enclousres and i swear it'll sound like a whole differenct sub. |

Nova Unregistered guest | Yo Alpine, this is a friendly from Carstereo.com... Lemme put my Opinion in... I've heard 2 12" MTX Road thunders, very loud, 2 MTX 10" 6000 in a 3 cu-ft box Slot port tuned to ~35hz, even louder... but if i had an MTX 9515 and an amp to push it, i'd build a perfect spec box and be louder than Any one in Oregon.... Lemme tell you guys something, if a sub has bad SQ then its probly Clipping or Tuned to high or the subsonic filter is too low... If Sound Quality is your bag, then tune the enclosure LOW, around 30hz and be happy... But sence we're on this topic... Gotta say that the Memphis Mojo 12" (OLD SCHOOL sub... M3's suck) will own ALL |
