This is MTX's new sub they debuted at CES this last year. He thing is massive and they CLAIM it can be used as either a daily listener or a comp sub. They havent released the price yet but its suposed to be geared towards people with almost limitless cash so that says to me that its not something were gonna see at every comp. I do know it will reproduce acuratly to 5 hz which is pretty impressive to me. Thats what they were doing at CES, but the downside is thats all they were doing with it at CES so I kinda wanna hear the thing and see if they can back up their claim to it being something you can use in an every day driver. At 320 pound though, you can kiss gas millage good buy. Anyways heres the link to MTX's website and if you look around a little more there is a couple links to independant magazines and what not that have wrote about it. http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/news/newsTemplate.cfm?ID=1264

At CES they were saying it was going to be going for around $5-6k.  I have some videos of the thing moving I should upload and show you guys.  I commend MTX for their effort.  I think they were trying for the longest excursion sub.  Unfortunately we put the bar so high that even a big company like MTX can't touch it.  Did you guys see this thing -- posted image.

i dont think that bar is going to be touched for quite some time. i watched that video of the parthenon last night. insane. how much is that bad boy to the public. with a $1,000 deposit, i know it is well out of my grasp, but am still curious.

You go boy! LOL Actually, I saw it too, and it LOOKS good, but WHAT THE HELL IS SQL? Nothing... a gimmick. It appears to me as though MTX is falling/has fallen into the Boss/Audiobahn reign. Making up stuff to sell a product is LAME-O!!! OOOOOH - 10,000 watts.   PHTPHPTPTHPHT Loud SUX, and for 6 grand, that thing BETTER sound at least listenable, although I doubt highly that it will be. I'd rather spend 3500 on a Parthenon motor and design my own diaphragm. I bet the diaphragm on that thing is SO heavy, I bet you can't run it above 40Hz. (Not that that is necessarily bad, mind you.) It's group delay probably looks like HELL, too.   I wanted to see the T/S parameters for it. I bet you can't build a proper box for it... probably just needs a wall in your mom's Caravan... I guess I learned a long time ago there is more to life than bass...
I must be tired, cause I can't think of ANYTHING good to say right now.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I heard this thing is going to have like 5" or linerar excurion, or something like that.
At 320lbs, you will need a friggen forklift to get it into your car, and a MAMMOTH enclosure to hold it. I gurantee someone will do all this and then be beat by some guy with less expensive subs.
