Default Thunderform Install pics

I installed my MTX Thunderform with amp a while back and I finally got some pics on my site. Here are a few, just thought some of you might be interested. You can't see through the speaker mesh, but my camera had the flash on so it looks kind of weird.

How hard does it hit? How do you like it?

I like it a lot. I can't have it turned up all the way or everything in my car rattles like crazy. So I would have to say it hits pretty hard, but I can't really tell cause it just rattles everything if I don't turn it down. I am not really big on stereos but I wanted some more bass. It works for me.

The panel is stock, but the mesh piece that is covering the speaker comes with the thunderform. Sorry I don't know the part number.

Looks good!

Where'd you put the amp? What brand/model is it?

Where did you get all the wiring?

I've got a Stealthbox and I need to get an amp and figure out how to install everything. I've read about the PAC-OEM connectors for the amp, but I can't get anybody to tell me how to wire the stuff! Do you keep the factory left rear speaker or does the sub replace it?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me...

Well actually the amp is built into the thunderform, its an option when I ordered it. So I dont think you can get it seperately. As for the power cables they are are just monster cables from cuircut city. No the thunderform does NOT replace my rear speaker. I taped off of two speakers then they go into a built in high/low converter that is all part of the thunderform package. The main reason I bought the thunderform was because I could order it with an amp built into it and it already has a high/low converter if you get it with the amp.

I have the exact same sub, but with an external amp. It sounds great. I just have one question. How do you get the cover to stay on? Mine always pops off, so I just took it out and put it in the basement.

First I make sure that all the rubber gromets in the casing are not collapsed. I line the pegs up with each hole and I just tap the cover until it is all the way in. NOTE: The rear panel that has the stock speaker mounted in it goes OVER the MTX cover as well. It actually looks better and I have never had a problem with it. If you look at the last picture you will notice what I'm talking about. Good luck
