Default MTX Thunderform Box is great!

I ordered one of these about three weeks ago..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...768235964&rd=1

It cost me about 200 bucks with shipping. A little steep, but I got it anyway.
Im gonna sell the 10" MTX sub that came with it to my buddy for 40 bucks.
Anyway, the box sounds absolutely awesome. I have a JL 10W3V2 in it and it hits hard gets very loud for only being one 10. It rocks. The box fits flush and have very nice terminals on it. It comes with screws and gaskets and everything.

I highly reccomend it!

Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for something like this. How do you get it to hold in place? and what did you use to cover over it? Does everything come with the package? Would that be the gaskets and screws you posted about?



Thanks,
Justin

I just dropped it in place. It fits snugged especially since I have the subthump amp rack there so it's not moving around.

It does come with screws to secure it down though. The instructions say to place the box in place without the sub inside. Then you use the provided screws and screw through the bottom of the box and into the car. Then install the sub into the box and secure it down. Like I said, it fit pretty snuggly so I didnt use the screws to secure it to the car.

It comes with the cover there and a foam gasket to go around the sub opening. All the screws and stuff are included too.

I had one of those a few years back for a dodge dakota EC, it came with a pair of MTX 6000 series subs. I fed it 450 watts, and it sucked donkey *****. I threw more power at it, and it sucked.

I should have never bought mine loaded, and instead put in a real sub.

Yours looks good, and am glad at least someone is happy with the thunderforms.

generally it's not the enclosure itself that makes it suck, it's the combination of the enclosure and subwoofer. but probably 99% of people would agree that JL Audio will run circles around MTX, in an enclosure of the appropriate size, so this is not really any surprise.
