its a common design first tooled by MTX back in the day, and now produced in several factories..
it offers decent clearance, durability.. and most importantly.. its cheap

they may break in.. they won't get much...
its parked under monitored cameras at work, and sits beside an open window in my bedroom at home.. in which the bedroom has many, many loaded firearms... and its easy enough to make it looks justified..

what makes it cheap? mainly just popularity?
but if they break in and don't get anything there's a good chance they'll ruin all your stuff anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif maybe even more out of anger.
an unseen deterent (security screws, bolting stuff down, etc) doesn't seem very effective if no one knows about it until after they break in.

Most of the atomic subs use a 12 spoke basket and it fits on my MT.
Paul Roth, originally designed the 4-spoke “Venezuela” basket at least 20 years ago (maybe longer). The design was then copied by several people including a Russian vender who later designed the 12-spoke basket you are talking about. The only critical difference between the 4-spoke and 12-spoke is the clearance under the suspension. The 4-spoke has 1.25” and the 12-spoke has 1.5”.
Cory Jackson designed the Basket SS uses for the RL-s and TC uses for the TC-2k/3k as well as the Eclipse Ti frames also used for the LMS drivers and a few others lingering subwoofers. The designs were done exclusively for TC Sounds, and are owned by TC Sounds.
MTX was indeed the first company to buy and use the frame, but they did not design it. Paul works for Credence, he's a great guy!
The 4-spoke and 12-spoke frames no longer have patents in the US and can be bought direct from the venders in China and then used without a legal problem.

Yes, though I thought the Venezuela only refered to the 6 spoke 18" basket.

It is also used by Incriminator audio and most noteable DD. Among many others.
