Okay im sorry i just found out about this. Someone please tell me if im crazy but this looks like total Bull Sh*t! that has to be the stupiest thing i have ever seen. Go to the web sight if you want they don't even list a halfway complete set of spec. I just wanted to throw it out there, this thing looks like a total joke. Wondering what other people think?

Yea but 8 amps without proper current won't put out much.
I doubt those guys installed 2 or 3 HO alternators in the car.

it was 4 or 5 amps i think but they had 2 other subs i think 9500 but that means only 2 or 3 were powering the jackhammer also it had no box i think they used the trunk for a enclose
it was funny how the kid reacted ... he thought it was a jet turbine .... kid was like OMFG WTF is that

"Q. What is the cost of the JackHammer?

A. The woofer itself is an MSRP of $7,500.00 each.



Q. When will the JackHammer be available to order/purchase?

A. The JackHammer is scheduled to become available in limited quantities the end of August and will only be available from MTX Elite Dealers. For serious inquiries, please e-mail mtx@mtx.com or contact 1-800-CALL-MTX and you will be referred to an Elite Dealer.



Q. Why did MTX design such a woofer?

A. JackHammer is all about excess! It is the 1st commercially available True 22" woofer for mobile audio enthusiasts who only want the best. Learn more at www.thetrue22.com



Q. How loud will it play?

A. Its output level is equal to 7 of the MTX Thunder9500 12's! And it requires less enclosure volume than the total volume needed for the seven Thunder9500 12's. For more info visit http://www.mtx.com/featured/index.cfm



Q. How is it going to sound and will it perform up to its expectations?

A. The sound quality of the JackHammer will equal or exceed other high quality subs, even MTX's Thunder 9500's and also plays lower. It is sensitive, reacts very fast to the signal it is given and can play very low while maintaining a tight punch.



Q. What MTX amps should be used to power the JackHammer?

A. We recommend using four Thunder TA81001's or two Thunder TA92001's. Electrical upgrades to the vehicle will be required to meet the electrical current requirements. Check out http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/indexSuper.cfm for more details.



Q. What vehicles would the JackHammer fit into or can be installed in?

A. It will fit in most full size SUV's and any appropriate vehicle in a custom installation.



Q. How much does the JackHammer weigh?

A. The woofer itself weighs 369 lbs., but keep in mind, the typical SUV it will be installed in is designed to haul much heavier loads.



Q. Is it going to be offered in a pre-fab enclosure like the 9500 SledgeHammer?

A. Yes. A single woofer in its specifically designed SledgeHammer enclosure has an MSRP of $10,000.00



Q. What if the JackHammer is not right for me, but I am interested in other great MTX products?

A. Visit www.mtx.com , call 1-800-CALL-MTX or locate your nearest MTX retailer at http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/dealer.cfm"

I think it was such a flop on PMR is because they didnt even use an enclsure, you gotta separate the drive from the front of the cone.

Either way it still is stupid. No way its gunna have good SQ
