Mystery Subwoofer (MTX)

[sigmax]

Hi,

I'm afraid I have no picture of the woofer in question, but perhaps I can try to describe it and someone will know exactly which one I'm talking about.

I'm going to estimate it was from 1997 to 1999, or somewhere in there. It was ( i was told) one of MTXs highest level subs at that point in time. It was huge. It had like a special name after it. MTX ________ at first I thought it might be thunder, or some variation of it. Thunerstrike, Thunderroad, etc. but no google searches turn up a sub that looks anything like I remember it.

I believe it had a orange surround, or perhaps orange lettering. It had pushpin terminals, and was a DVC, and a HUGE magnet, the entire sub probably weighed around 20lbs or more. my friend at the time who was well more into car audio than I, said he had never heard of it.

But I cannot for the life of me think of the name, but it's been over 10 years since I even though about it.

if anyone has any ideas, shoot them my way. I'd like to try to see if they're still around, or if they've updated them into something new. The name is on the tip of my tongue, so anything might make me remember.

Thanks for your help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looked at most of those, didn't see anything that resembled it. I checked that archive page before posting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I think that may be it! It looks similiar enough. Did they have any other subs in that same line? why did'nt' that show up in MTX archive?
