I would never own either, but I sure as hell would never own the jackhammer.

The Solo X is crazy even the 10" version can get loud as hell.

definitly the JackHammer, it out peforms soloX in just about everything, even wieghs 3 times as much as solox, but it prolly costs 3 times as more. 2.5 xmax, over 300 pounds, this thing is nuts....

Cause more weight = better... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/waycrazy.gif.f4a380c3f94043939fd369defd9e6be2.gif

I just don't see what application calls for such a driver, at that cost and weight. PA speaker drivers in stadiums don't weigh that much. Perhaps the speaker box, horns, etc combined maybe...

It's doing exactly what MTX wants it to do...cause controversey like this...

Word of mouth = One of the best Marketing tools in the world...

I wonder, how much does a soloX weigh? I'll bet, lb for lb, you get at least 3 soloX 18"s for that one MTX Jockhammer. There is no way in hell some hyped up tourist trap like that thing going to compare with 3 SoloX's.

I definately agree, for the money you would pay for this "supersub" then you could buy atleast 3 solo X's.....which would kill you..

a single solox 18" weighs in at a hint over 100lbs, if i'm not mistaken.

Correct...~105 is decently close..

But weight means nothing, I could make a speaker using a different type of magnet that weighed a total of around 17lbs...and looked pewny as hell - But had enough motor force to sling the coil straight out of the gap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Edit: Also - It would cost just about the same as the regular strontium motor assembly...but because "bigger" is always better - Neo isn't the industry standard...i really wish it was //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Neo is verah koo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

the Solo X weighs in at around 140 lbs...but weight of a sub means nadda really...as long as the motor is enough to make the sub perform to it's best ability, the more magnets can seem like overkill and a WOW factor.

From the vehicles Nick and have seen at dbDrag,etc...nobody has room for a Jackhammer....most are small cars with space constraints now.....

if a woofer is louder just ebcause it's heavier, I can sell a solo X 18, and stand on it, and as a package deal it will now weigh 380 lbs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Exactly Tracy - About all that would fit in our particular vehicle is right around 19-20" but even at that we dont have the room that the retardedly big motor takes up it's just TOO big...(gotta have play room)...(if there were such a thing as a speaker like that)...in order to get the response that i was looking for things had to get small //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif...

seems like most neo magnet equipped drivers are leaning towards the SQ side of things more than all out burp machines. (Aura, Focal, tweets and the likes). I heard there's a new SPL sub from beyond audio (or was that another brand?) that uses neo magnets, but that's the only one I heard so far, and can they really be considered mass produced?

Any specific reason why, except price?
