And those people were right. The MT SUCKS as a DD too. lmao!
Im really getting tired of people suggesting subs that aren't designed for that purpose. Even the people at RE will tell you the MT was not designed for DD use, and they dont/didnt recommend it for such a task.

Yes Ive heard MT "DD" systems, and solo x's, strokers... all those 'SPL' subs people say excel at daily use also... those people lie. Just about any successful SPL driver is gonna tend to be peaky. Yes, some you can stick in enormous boxes and make them sound... acceptable. But none of them will sound great, not when compared to a sub that is actually designed for that application.

But in today's world it seems if the bass makes your eyes water and your head spin, its considered to sound awesome.

I will sum it up with one last thought. If a Team RF sub, or an MT makes such a great DD, why dont you go buy one, install it, and let us know how you do at your local SQ competitions.

Now... Why would you buy it with the intention of using it as an adequate daily sub and then go for a sound quality competition?

If you want to compete in for SQ, then buy an SQ oriented woofer. Not everyone is looking for amazing quality, many of us just like it loud.

Then buy a sub made to do that, on a long term basis. Again, many of the 'SPL' subs do not have cooling systems designed to adequately dissipate these large amounts of wattage over a long period of time, only for short burps. The MT is one example. Will it work daily? Sure. Are there better choices? Yes.

There are woofers with better SQ characteristics however, these sound pretty good and I have used a 12" in about 4.5 cubes for a little over a year and it sounds great in my opinion and can get **** loud when I want it to. It does exhibit a bit of overhang on more complexed material and sound a little boomy with jazz/blues but overall not bad.
Anyone that looks at the specs. or better yet hmmm... listens to one will tell you they should perform reasonably well it's just sort of impractical for a daily woofer. Find some used Power RFR's they would be a better choice for daily.

of all people, I think Tim has give a very great explantion, course, he would know best on this driver //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

iirc the trf motors are tc4hp motors. though slightly differant subs, with the right box u can make it sound decent enough for daily and itll still be retarded loud.
