I have two of these subs. 4 sale. They are in great shape.
U can email me at gangstaplaya403@aol. com for info and pics.

Weighing in at over 50lbs each, the T9500 series subwoofers, available in 10", 12", and 15" models, are the most physically menacing woofers MTX has ever created. All are capable of handling between 750 and 1000 watts RMS; performance thanks in part to three gigantic, high-grade magnets and a 4" black anodized aluminum former with a voice coil made from 220° aluminum flat wound ribbon wire. The combination makes for the kind of conduction that would have split Ben Franklin in two.
Thunder subwoofers are known for being cool under pressure. The MTX design and engineering team took its lauded cooling system, highlighted by Spider Plateau Venting technology, a step further by adding a high-grade, 60/63 extruded aluminum heatsink. The heatsink covers the entire windwidth of the voicecoil pulling heat directly off it and ensuring the woofer plays louder, longer.
With any subwoofer, it's necessary that the tinsel leads be long enough to travel with the cone assembly during both excursion and digression of the cone without the tinsel lead impeding its travel. However, in the case of long-excursion drivers like the T9500 series, these tinsel leads have to be extra long. By holding the tinsels between two layers of polycotton spider (click the diagram to the left for a larger image), the MTX design team eliminated the risk of short circuits caused by tinsel leads contacting the aluminum basket or the positive and negative tinsel contacting each other.
When it comes to separating the ordinary from the truly innovative, the devil is in the details. The MTX engineering team put the emphasis on making the T9500 installer-friendly.
The T9500 series' surround geometry consists of a compression molded NBR surround and uses FEA optimized roll geometry to maximize excursion without sacrificing cone surface area. In developing the design, MTX engineers were careful to ensure that the driver would fit into conventional driver mounting holes and would be compatible with standard mounting techniques. That means no special class or certification necessary to install your speakers.
Additionally, the T9500 series employs both 8-gauge, nickel-plated compression poles and a set of two 8-gauge set -screw quick connect terminals on either side of the compression poles. Incorporating both creates several installer advantages including clean, proper wiring of DVC woofers and/or, by utilizing the compression poles, wiring for multiple woofer installs.
The completely redesigned cone of each T9500 series subwoofer is made of an injection-molded, carbon-filled expanded polypropylene with aluminum deposition. This material is 40% lighter than standard polypropylene and dramatically increases stiffness/weight ratio, resulting in an overall stiffer and lighter diaphragm assembly.
