MT 18" in 3cu.ft net @ 33 hz...

[sku 10+ year member]

Wow it sounds pretty good just listening to it in my HT setup. I'm pleasantly suprised by the SQ. On music the middle region is super tight.

This is a *temp* box...I don't have the time to build the correct box yet...

My normal HT driver is a Tumult. The MT doesn't drop as low but I bet that's because of the extremely small box...

Anyone ever put an MT in such a small box?

By the way the MT is going in my Rav4 tomorrow....

yes. you need to double that box. and could prolly go a lot larger being HT.

It's meant for my car...the box was a temp I had...so what's the sweet spot for an MT 18 for a DD? A good combo of lows and mid (50 to 80) frequencies, efficiency and still SPL?

I've can go as big as 7.5 cubes net...and an HK4000D for power...

So how does it sound in a box that big? I really don't want a 1 note wonder...rather looking for loud and clear response from 30 to 80 hz....

My MT 18 is in a 10 cu. ft. ported box tuned to 33hz im only running 720wrms (temperarly) to it and it really sounds great low bass and highbass.

mine was in 8 cubes @ 31 hz.

it rolled heads on low notes.

Thanks Carl and Bass...any numbers for your setups?

How do you compare the SQ on the MT to other subs you've owned...I put it in the car today...The SQ is OK to me...some songs sound good others don't.

I won't give a full review until I've built the proper box for it...

Your welcome. No numbers yet since im half way finished with my new system but the sound quality for my set-up is okay. Ived own an SX and 2 RE8s and my 8s used to have the best sound quality for all subs ived own. I'll let you know how my system sounds when everything is all finished though.
