Silver Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 161 Registered: Sep-05 | Thats true what rovin said, i think two weeks ago there was a thread just like this. Ryan, I would only want a jackhammer if i was pimping out like a Peterbilt truck or something, not for a car. Im not much for SPL anyways. I think its cool just because of its massive size, but i dont think its practical. If i was that kid, id personally be pi$$ed. No one his front stage can keep up with that thing. |
|
Silver Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 162 Registered: Sep-05 | i meant no way his front stage could keep up. What did they use for a front stage anyways, i havent seen the episode in a while |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1202 Registered: Mar-04 | anyone here ever seen the MTX "bread truck"...lol now that was an subwoofer install...the "sub" wasnt really a speaker. it was a huge piston (like 48" in diameter) run by a motor. they only got to burp it once (at like the '99 dbdrag world finals, i think) it built up so much pressure in the cab that when the sub made its backward stroke...the cab literally IMPLODED!! |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 752 Registered: Apr-05 | Well if you want to see it... http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/MTX/jackhammer.1.wmv The part when they test it out and everybody is falling all over the place and the glass of water falls off the desk is retarded. And they make it seem that 130db is really loud or something! |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1950 Registered: Aug-05 | hahahahahahahahaa. the cap showed only 11.4-6V going to the amps. and Mad Mike had on ear muffs at 130dbs? plz, someone shoot me.  |
|
Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 437 Registered: Feb-05 | did anyone else find it funny the "ridiculous bass" db meter maxed at 100dbs?? hell, when mad mike was talking it was 79-84dbs, lol. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4528 Registered: Nov-04 | It means mad Mike has a big mouth! At that rate, the battery would only be good for few beats. I thought those guys were geniuses. That setup is like a time bomb. If the driver ever gets drunk and cranks up the system, he'll most likely blow/kill the car's electrical system along with the amps and possibly the MTX sub. I hope they weren't using the 70A stock alternator to charge those batteries. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3791 Registered: Aug-04 | I swear people on tv just keep getting dumber, and dumber, and dumber, and dumber...... BTW, marshall, That sub in the bread truck, it was 100" inches, and was built by Richard Clark, and it was an actual sub, not just a piston driven by a motor. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3792 Registered: Aug-04 | My god, I just actually watched that video.... I would slap those guys if that was my car.... I would thank them for the 10 grand in free gear for me to sell though... |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4870 Registered: May-04 | You'd be surprised what those crapboxes will sell for on ebay. It's amazing that a dumb kid will buy one of those POS cars just because Xzibit had a hand on it. "2000 watts of pure Audiobahn musik POWA!!!" |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3800 Registered: Aug-04 | P.imp my ride installer - "A 15" woofer needs 500 watts of power. That's a 500 watt amp, and a battery. The jackhammer needs 8500 watts of power. That's 5 amps, 3 batteries, and 6 capacitors." I'd love to know where he pulled that crap from? Later he shows the kid the car and says the same 5 amps are over 6000 watts. What happened to the 8500 watts? This is the reason why I don't watch p.imp my ride. |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 758 Registered: Apr-05 | Muddy was right too, everytime you see the caps, the voltage is in the 11v range, not too healthy for the electrical system.... And when they show all the crap like the jackhammer is shaking the whole building like the water glass falling off the desk, it is just going to make uneducated people beleive that sub can actually do that. I mean if they can throw those stupid numbers out and get away with it, like Joe was saying, all the kids that watch the show are going to think that MTX makes the loudest subs. Totally untrue cheap marketing if you ask me, all fabrications.... |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4530 Registered: Nov-04 | If you do really want to shake everything in sight, try 4 MTs and give it real power. With one 15" MT, my whole car shakes. So imagine what 3 more will do. It should give more power than 1 MTX 500lb sub. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 360 Registered: Aug-05 | Well, lets put it this way. I have a pair of MTX TP112 DJ Speakers in my bedroom. When I measure at 1 meter away as done in standard car audio measurements, at one of the woofers, I get about 115dB. So, I have two of the speakers, so that's 118dB total. Not to mention, I'm running them off of a Kenwood KR-6600 with 60WPC continuous power. I think that settles the fact, since those speakers hold 2 12" subwoofers. Not woofers, subwoofers. They threw a couple of MTX's in them lol. But I think that proves the point that there's something wrong if that woofer is hitting only 130dB. My Volfenhags hit 135-138dB at peak excursions in a sealed box. Is that saying my Volfenhags are better hehehe? |

Bronze Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksbutg, Virginia United states Post Number: 84 Registered: Aug-05 | anyway mad mike is an idiot i have to find the vid that he says some guy system hit he cant even talk right i think they know what they are doing but its a tv show so they dumb them selfs down, just like american hot rod, boyd had a car that wouldn't start, i clearly was about to start becuase it poped back and sputtered these idiots say that there was no distributor button so no spark going was going to the motor, huh......shops dont just have stupid problems that often, just a publicity stunt that thing probably does suck i cant find the vid now i get when i get home |

Bronze Member Username: DroppOcala, Florida US Post Number: 12 Registered: Apr-05 | Cmon,now arent you guys being alittle harsh..How could you be upset if that was your car,The thing is a Buick Century not even worth $700.00.Just the fact of being able to see the thing installed on TV is cool to watch if you are into car audio.Sure there is alot of B.S involved but that is television.I'm not a avid P,M,R, fan but its still all good!! |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 416 Registered: Aug-05 | My friends were very impressed when I showed them the PMR video install...kinda sad...They tried arguing with me about the cars voltage needing to be higher than 11V too, saying "Oh, the alternator will hold out, those caps will do it." I about shot them... |

Gold Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 1020 Registered: Apr-05 | OMFG! How g@y is that? 11.4 volts?! I would have killed 'em... And 100db? OMG... I'm spechless. |
