Damn... 12" sub hits hard! Since I could never find a good 12" speaker box for the MTX ThunderPro I had, I decided to make my own to fit into the little cubby hole in the rear hatch. It took a while to get it to fit just right, and I need to get some carpet on the front of it, but it looks good.
Paired it up with my 600W Lanzar Vibe amp and damn thing shakes the change in my cup holder! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I think I'll need to invest in a 1F capacitor in the future thought. My voltmeter does drop a little... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I wish I had a camera to take some pics too. The only problem is now it almost hits too hard... I need to upgrade the rest of my stock system <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Damn... 12" sub hits hard! Yeah, 12s are nice. I've got two JL W6 12s driven with a RF 500S. I make good use of my pause button so I can see with my review mirrors before switching lanes on the freeway. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It does give you a nice back massage though.

Re: Damn... 12" sub hits hard! 12's are only good if you like rap or music with boomy bass.... which is cool for those people. I have 2 MTX 10's in the back of my SS in one box thats seperated in the center, like having two boxes, and they are stuffed with that poly ****... Can you say Tight Bass? Perfect for rock music, but can also work good for rap... i like my setup...

Boomy bass isn't caused by the sub it all has to do with box the sub is in. <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />
