I ran one 12'' 7500 over a year ago. It was ok. I would say its comparable to an audioque sd2.5, but the 2.5 is a little louder and sounds a hell of a lot better and is also cheaper too.


F*ck MTX!

you really should've posted that then shouldn't you? post the specs of the box you have.

and please, stop with the threads. so far this is your second one for the same thing. let the one in the amp section die and stick with this one. i've said it before to others, you keep/start annoying people here and chances are no one is going to help you.

ive heard one mtx 7500 12 in person and a pair of cvx 10's....I really wasnt impressed with the sq on the cvx 10's but they didnt have quite enough port area and id actually say the 12 7500 had better sq and both were in ported boxes but the cvx's will hit lower frequency wise and the 7500 12 will drop to around 38-40 hz....ive also heard the original audioque sd 2.5 and it hit lower (35 hz or less in the right tuned box) with better sq than both of the other subs I mentioned but it leans toward hitting harder on the higher frequencies than the lows ....the new audioque sd 2.5's are supposed to sound even better sq wise but ive never heard it and id give audioque credit if its has better sq than the original ones

Out of the two you listed above get 2 CVX 12's.

Which ever subs you decide on build your own box or have someone build you a box to SPEC for the subs.

Always build box to spec or its a waste of money}.

also if you have a 1999-2005 silverado then you probably have a 105 amp alternator so id run no more than 750-800 watts with a stock battery and alternator....although others will probably disagree and suggest more power but you need some in reserve for your trucks basic electrical needs

You can change up the tuning to your liking but those are the recommended specs.

by the way the sub I heard and the one you want to get if your going with the mtx sub is the 7512-44 the dual 4 ohm...theres a difference in the frequency response apparently compared to the single 4 ohm version....so youll need an amp that puts out the right power at 1 ohm or 4 ohms mono if your running a pair of the dual 4 ohm subs....and buy a class d mono block amplifier to get high efficiency

ok thanks... i made up my mind now on what im getting and heres a list:
1)2 12" mtx thunder 7500
2)MTX Audio TA7801 Thunder 7801 AMP
3)4 guage amp kit

ill let you all know how it is... i kno it will bump for sure... but give me like a month to get the money and order it. ill post some vids so you all can see. and ill prove to u that MTX is the way to go! my frind have 2 12" 5500's and when he drives by he makes my house rattle. and if he goes slow it will make pictures fall off the wall. so ill post some vids of setting off car alarms and stuff.

thank you all for all your help it ment alot to me.

after i get this stuff im gonna get some street glow for my truck!

but again i cant thank all you guys enough! THANKS ALOT!!!

if you read my post above youll see that I have heard the mtx 12 7500 in person and liked it....the only draw back I listed was that it will only drop to about 38 hz and as far as that line of mtx amp my brother owns one the ta5601 and used to own the ta92001 rated 3000 rms at 1 0hm but the bithsheet said 3829 rms which his tenant now owns and runs on his audioque hdc3 12's and both amps are fine....the only minor issue is the ta92001 has a fan that is a little louder than id like but it functions fine

also youll see that Canaan gave the ta7801 a good remark

not all of mtx's lines are good in both the amp and sub lines and most probably have heard about the bad and assume all mtx must stink but thats not true....ive owned about 5 different mtx amps in my car audio experience and heard a few others perform in setups other than my own as well as mtx subs from way back to the terminator series of subs all the way up to the 7500 and newer series

sean, personally i just don't like mtx. and yes, i've heard them all (except the 9500) but i just don't think they're that great. when you can get them dirt cheap they're o.k. (or when they have their buy one get one free deal going on), but personally i'd just get something else to start with or save a little more the first time and get something else.

you need about 25 square inches of port for your power tuned to 32 hz and I doubt that box has it....plus you dont know where its tuned....if you dont have enough port area it will have port noise and hold back the output of your sub and possibly damage your sub

So you've had experience with all those brands to confirm that they are in fact great? People in this thread are making comparisons with what they have experience with. So why not compare a mtx 7500 and sd2.5? Especially if you've had both and can describe the performance of both drivers.

Experience with a driver>>> what you read on forums

Trevor....as was said I have experience with all the drivers I mentioned....the 7500 was a few tenths louder than the audioque 2.5 12 (audioque in a 35 hz tuned box 2.5 cubic foot box) and the mtx 7500 12 in a 2.00-2.25 cubic foot box tuned to about 38 hz) 142.2 db for the audioque and a 142.5 db for the mtx 12 on the exact same amp and the exact same power of 600 rms

thanks for the backup guy's

if you meant should you get the 10w6v2 or the 12w6v2 id say get the 12w6v2 if you want more output with sq that i explained is great from listening to it in person but if you want more room and less output use the 10w6v2....unless you meant to type the 10w7v2 because I know you listed it above if I had to guess it will probably have around the same output as the 12w6v2 but sound different and like I said I didnt like the sound of the 13w7 when I heard it but that may have been a poor install

good box, yet looking at prefabs. you DO listen horribly. get a box made to the specs of the sub. the sub you picked out (this time) is a very nice sub, don't ruin it by throwing it in a shi_tty box. a poor box can make the worlds best subwoofer sound like shi_t.

$15 over budget but well worth it.

good recommendation as long as he keeps it around around 750 to 800 watts rms at max (he only has a 105 amp alternator) because he doesnt want to upgrade.... but this also wont give him room amperage wise to buy an amp for highs later and run his vehicles basic electrical needs

OK Tyler, judging from what I'm reading here, your bouncing around from this to that so I going to ask, should I even bother replying to the request you submitted for the enclosure for the 12w6????

probably shouldn't even waste your time phil. this guy is never going to buy anything. and if he does, it'll be after weeks of helping him and then he'll go buy subs everyone tells him not to and throw them in the prefab box he already has. just my opinion as to what will happen here.

but you can shoot me a pm over on ca.com about the box i asked about when you get time:-)

CT,

Based on what I'm seeing here, you may be right. I'll get back to you on the enclosure over the weekend.

Tyler, the folks around here are the most helpful people you'll find in trying to provide you with good solid recommendations based on previous knowledge and experiences.

Now, if you want to keep boppin around to this and that and not listen to what they saying, there pretty much going to get fed up just leave you to do what ya want.

So, tell them what your budget is, listen to what they have to say and make your decision.

Ok sorry yesterday was a bad day and i was sarcastic. not saying the mtx could no way be louder, some mainstream stuff can get decently loud, but after hearing rockford fosgate, alpine, jl, mtx, cerwin vega, audiobahn and others, then hearing great brands like DD, Audioque, which ive both owned and own, and Fi, there is no comparison, for me anyways. yes the mtx might beat the AQ on a meter but that wasnt the only point, the sound of better brands is far smoother, deeper, smoother transition between notes and tighter. I never dissed on JL. in my opinion out of mainstream JL and Alpine are the two best. just to clear things up....i just think its utterly stupid to buy an MTX over an Fi SSD or an SD2.5...no offense just my opinion....AND DONT GET A PREFAB BOX!!

ok....trevor if you look at my post youll see that I liked the audioque 2.5 12 the best and said if what I was told was true about the new audioque 2.5 12 sounding even better sq wise I gave them much credit....I also said they would drop lower....as far as Fi subs I stay away from recommending them because of their reputation for tinsel slap and torn leads (unless the new design fixed that but well see)....I still see posts about it how long after they got that reputation....it may be a great sounding speaker but if it doesnt hold up what good is it

Naledge....from what ive heard in person they sound almost exactly alike compared to the old audioque 2.5's but I didnt get a long listen to them (they were both 12's)....I know you are asking trevor but I figured id chime in too since I had experience with both

Tyler,

OK, so you've decided on JL 12's, but your going to to have to raise the seat depending on which way you plan on mounting them.

^^Yea, When I posted that I didn't check the price because when I bought my 7500 it was like 169 plus shipping. Then a day after I posted, I looked it up and I saw how cheap it was. lol.

You ask ?'s and we helped you ask more ?'s and we helped. What do you want us to do buy the stuff for you and install it.

Build the box to spec.

If you build IT it will come since you don't listen IT will never come.

after all that what made the biggest difference is that you wanted the subs to go under the seats....you seemed to start out not wanting to do that....youll probably find it will be a challenge to find decent subs to fit in your custom box

Wow, this guy is a jackass! You think because you've never heard of the brands people are recommending that they are shitty and were trying to screw you over? This thread was just a big waste of time. Why did you even make this if you knew you weren't gonna listen to anyone anyway?

Just do us all a favor and GTFO!!

Let's just let this thread die now...

hey the dumbas_s is back^ (talking about tyler, not you snow). why not move onto another forum, can't see you getting much more help here. and calling someone an as_shole when you're the one lieing here? real smart.

again, JUST LEAVE! don't see to many people liking you on this forum after all your bullshi_t, so just go to another forum and start over again.

I do want to add something here....getting the mtx 7500 12 44 would not be a good idea if you do not have a subsonic filter and you like rap songs because it doesnt like playing lower than what I said....playing lower than that range sounds horrible and it very likely will damage the speaker without the subsonic filter

Tyler being only 15.... I doubt he knows what bi-polar meant!!

Hey Tyler... I know that you are a youngin', but you need to mature quite a bit b4 you can understand just how much good advice you received from eCoustics... Good luck with the Nads droppin' soon!!
