Mtx IS awesome

Wow, no comments on the AQ takin 3,000w?

After you endure a few more yrs of reading and experience will you know how people can run 2,3, or even 4x the rated power of a sub without disaster.

There are people running the AQ 2.5s using an AQ1200d per woofer.

There are people like me running 2 AQ3500ds on 4 DC Lvl4s soon to be wired at 0.17ohms for comp use since my rise is so high at my note.

Back when i first tried AQ, ther was a guy on termpro running a single AQ HD12 on a Hifonics Colossus amp (3,200w)

The Sundown Nightshades, people in my area run sundown 3000s to EACH nightshade.

the FI SSDs rated at 800wrms, my friend runs 2 of em off of an Audiopipe 3000w class amp and we were testing in for over 2 hrs playin tones for metering and scoping his amp and the subs never emitted a stinch, took it like a champ.

Lakota on here ran 2 Alpine Type Rs off of 6,000w... wonder how that happened? and didnt damage them.

Lakota has also ran a single Mach5Audio SPL12 off of 6,000w and it took it.

U gotta get some more experience, Apollo220, because MTX is not the end all company...

There isn't one really but to be to the point, i do business with companies who are more up to date with technology. the ones who do business online... Modernize my hobby!

 
I had some mtx 9500 15s back in the day and they were pretty good. However, they are definately not the best, especially when you can get 2 hdc3s for half the price.

And op, doubling rms isn't rare. I had a pair of audiobahns that were rated at 1000rms each and I fed them 4k for the pair for months with no problems

Edit: I've also seen some hdc3 15 aluminums take 4kw easy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

 
audiobahns omg those are shi!!y as* sub thats funny..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/beatdeadhorse5.gif.5d70132dea1eb89b73bf2fdbb6027dd6.gif

 
well i know where to get them for the lo if you pay 700 for 1 or anyother speaker your an idiot!!
Why is no other woofer worth $700? How about the people who buy the LMS-Ultra, new model 18" XXX, Super Heavyweight, LVL5, DDZ, Warden, Aura NS-18, etc...are they all getting ripped off? Why, because it's not worth it to you?

 
dont get me started on audiobahn...

I dont know if its because i always bought from non-authorized dealers or ABs poor quality control but i've owned 3 different types of subs from them all which failed...

The best was the Immortal and it wasn't even up to par with an AQ HD3 sub and it was rated at 2000wrms...

I fed it an even signal of 1,043w and after about 3 minutes, one of the coils burned up and the other a minute later.

I have owned an AW1505q which rated for 1,000w.. it caught on fire due to me clipping the sub, ooops, but for 1000wrms, i did the same thing to an AQ HD315 and it never even heated up in the same box... AB sucks.

I then went to an AW1008q and it folded in 1 DAY!

Poor glue control caused the spider to just unglue and throw it completely out of the gap and slam back down and killed it.

 
me personally i won't pay 700 for any 1 single subwoofer thats all im saying !! and i won't u can get shit that quality for cheaper and bump the same!! there is always an alternative!!

 
i own quiet a few and when did i ever say they were the best i originally opened this thread to say how good of customer service i got from mtx!! and then people started talkin trash so whatever !! to me personally i am very happy with them and i will not change my setup.. thanks and thats all i have to say for now..
