Are MT's just noisy subs? mechanically speaking

they DO. Im refering to the air on the OTHER SIDE of the coil. Normally it moves through the gap along the pole but the gap is so tight that it can hardly do that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Got ya.

Something else to think about. The thunder 8000 was originally released with a pole vent and the basket venting. After the first year, the pole vent was eliminated and all that was left was the basket venting. I have a friend that works at MTX in R&D, and I asked him about it (I had bought thunder 8000's in both years, and was surprised when I received the first set without pole vents). He said they found that the coil actually stayed cooler with just the basket venting, so they eliminated the pole vent. Something about the air not being forced through the vent when it was vented on both ends. Don't get me to lying, I have never tested it, but I think the vents in the basket are sufficent for keeping the coil cool.

You just threw me off with the statement "in fact no venting at all". . .

im just taking everything back out and redoing it all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif, i may of rushed through putting it in and cut some corners, because it will make the noise more when the subs are wired together in parallel, then i unhook them and it will not do it, they play pretty much fine wired by their selves

to each design its own. The MT doesnt have major cooling problems (untill you hook two up to a hifonics goliath each 0.7ohm nominal) but it does have mecanical noice problems. Not that it matters because it is an SPL sub but some people buy them expecting them to sound like a DD and then notice mechanical noice and *****. Im not saying bamma is *****ing, im saying that is what i have seen happen and for anyone wondering, lack of venting in the moter itself is likely the culprit.

Ive looked at an MT's motor gap...people always say it is small and pictures just dont do it justice, no lie it is almost as tight as the larges bearing gap allowable in the briggs 8hp i had on my little kart.
