There are lots of TRF motors out there. Price....well lets just say they are not cheap. You can bet anywhere from $250-300 per motor for anything 4hp+ with a 4" coil.

Hopefully you have a basket already as well. They run 70-100 for the one you want.

Once you have all that, then ya have softparts to get.

Worth it?......I think so...that's why I am doing it.

Yeah I ended up with TRF motors, and xxx baskets for my 15's builds. Once they get here, then it will be time to shop for softparts......if I ever get my stuff sold....or some of it.

Anyone have experience or opinions on the MTX 9500 motor? The baskets look pretty kool too btw

 

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

I believe the 9500 motor is a 3" coil.

What exactly do you want to build the sub for, and what size basket/cones ya going for?

 

[Boomsday 10+ year member]

look for an old spl-w motor, has a 4" coil, and should be cheap

 

[Flastrongman 10+ year member]

MTX 9500 is a 4" coil, buts it's a long way off from being as powerful as a 4hp.
