MTX 8500 better than a L7.

[Silver 10+ year member]

Reading the 12volt again check this out.

-Kickers voice coil is 2" while the 8500's is 3". 1" Increase.

Here are a couple Specs. (1st published), (2nd measured)

SD x Xmax = Vd

Kicker 100.0 in2 .51in 51.2in3

MTX 86.6 in2 .85in 73.6in3

Based on the public specs the MTX is 44% higher than the kickers. Which is 3.16db increase in output.

Kicker 100.0 in2 .4in 40.0in3

MTX 86.6 in2 .85in 73.6in3

Based on the measured specs the MTX exceeds by 82%!

Danm...

Per Measured specs for THD+N @40hz, 500rms.

Kicker is 22.5%

MTX is 4.5%

Wow, 22.5% non-musical noise comin from those speakers. Fart away.

With the kicker, you do get 7% more cone area, BUT you give up 44% volume displacement and 3db of output.

These were in their reccomended boxed also. Owned.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

no, L7 would walk all ova a 8500 in a street app.

It wouldnt walk all over the 8500, but just because one subwoofer has "better" specs WILL NOT mean that it will perform better.

i think i kno that, i didnt say it had betta specs, i dont even read specs, means nuthin. in real world apps, the L7s is a betta street sub.

I'm sorry, what the hell did you just say?

 

[btnhfan 5,000+ posts]

Those specs mean nothing.

Real world is what matters.

Im willing to bet the l7s are louder, since there is much more of them in DB drag than MTX subs.

Actually I thought it was the rfl. I thought that was mtx's flagship, or should I say loudest sub is the rfl, well besides the jackhammer.

 

[Polecat 5,000+ posts]

RFL is really a one note wonder, many use in dbDrag, or should I say, 'used' too....

the Jackhammer is really a driver that shouldn't be called a flagship driver.......more of a one piece monument.

But you should know that those tests were flawed and should not be taken too likely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif
