Im really thinking about buying 2 15" MTX thunder 9500 subs in a sledgehammer enclosure, with MTX's T92001 amp running @ 2000WRMS @ 2 ohms, what do you think, should I consider buying from a different brand?

alpine type R is just as good if not better and id recomend 2 12"'s they would sound better and still give out more then enough bass believe me on that one 2 12's type R's would pound! it be in the 145 db range

JL is by far the best on the list u named, and MTX is the worse...

Why buy 9500's????They are overpriced crap

I got a type X iam running 1300watts rms to it, it sounds really clear in fact so good quality that it makes it sound louder then it is lol. I hit 134db with 1 10" X but it sounds really good. I got the kicker2500.1 but the amp cannot run 2 type X's stable enough i was thinking of buying the orion 2500d and geting another type X or geting a pair of type R's and keeping the 2500.1 what should i do

what is the point of that video. no duh the W7 couldn't handle a lot...it has a smaller number of turns on the VC to lower the inductance which sacrifices power handling.

just wasted time reading this... lol

its not a 400a alternator in production!! PERIOD! MAX is 350a from Ohio Alternators!!

A MTX aint sh!t... and that DMM wasnt even hooked up into the video, so I wouldnt belive that!! And they should have tested all subs side by side in that same video...
so u choose...
Im done..

If you get what you pay for, then mtx would be really good subs, unlike whatever everyone says. I dont believe that mtx is overpriced either, so dont use that as an excuse. i think they are built really well, and they have good sq, also they get really loud. god everyone disses mtx for no reason IMO. 1 15" 9500 will smoke 2 type rs. and if you get what you pay for, that would mean, Dont buy type rs, they are 220 dollars for 2 of them on ebay. lol. on 15" thunder is 400dollars, and a 12" thunder is around 350......and those are the CHEAP ebay prices.

i got one.....so why dont you sh.ut the fu.ck. up. what, are you another person on this forum who will never admit that jl can be beat by mtx. you wouldnt believe what they were doing in that video if you saw it in real life. and have you ever even heard all the mtx subs? i doubt it. quit crying, and go to an mtx dealer, and listen to them for yourself. IMO, they have good sq, they dont blow, they can take the power, they get reallly loud, and they look good at the same time. what the hell else are you looking for? mad cause it doesnt say JL on the sub? until you hear the 9500s and 8500s next to any jl, then please, sh.ut the fu.ck up you fu.c.king fa.ggot.

i have used plenty of MTX in the past, I remember when they were on top actually, till they fell off the map... There new lineup dont even appeal to me!!


i could give a flyin f0ck about a JL or a MTX to be honest!
now let me choose between the 2 subs ill have to take a JL for the better build quality! Im sure a MTX can get louder than a JL in the right application, but sound better too??? Ill have to test both to tell you that! Cause u sacrifice 1 or the other!

I was just telling u dont belive that video kid! but if u want to, then be happy and enjoy your deception in peace!!

*Im sure a MTX can get louder than a JL in the right application, but sound better too???*

by they way, i never said sound better. i just said that the mtx was louder, and still had really good sq. i didnt say that the sq was better anyways.

Steven I do agree with u, that JL isnt the best..
and If u said u listened to them both, and MTX sounded better, then thats what matters!! Only thing that just is plain unbelivable is that damn video... lol
