MTX 9500

alright, im lookin to spend about 1700 on a system, no cd player or anything no box, or nuttin just subs and amp, i was lookin at the jl audio W7 (please dont turn this to a flame war as i have no idea on construction or quality) but i read a few threads on here and heard the 9500 hits harder yet with a little less SQ, im not exactly the one that has to have SQ but would like a little, i was hoping i could run two of the 9500 on a ??1500d?? i think i read, do i need two of those or just one, also the Orion H2 sub, any good?

The 9500 were built with the intentions of running two off of a 1500d. The MTX rep was at my store  alittle while ago and we talked about this exact senario. Thats a perfect match and those woofers are damn mena. BTW I think they actually sound better than the W7 but thats my opinion. I can say they do hit harder than the W7 In simmilar situations.

alright thank you, but if the conitnuous power handling is 2000 watts, and the max output on that amp is 1500 at 2 ohms....then how is that a match, not doubting your opinion just a question

continuos power handeling is not 2000 watts on a 9500, its 750. 2000 watts continuos power handelling is only the RFL sub not the 9500

oops my bad, thats the orion h2, about how many db's will i hit with that set up, in a properly tuned box....i was gunna build the box and fiberglass a custom enclosure over it, or how do they mount the subs that are FB enclosed? do they actually hit or are they looks, doesnt seem like fiberglass would be strong enuff for something that excurts so much, and i think i read 1.14 inch?

That sounds about right for excursion. I, unforunatly havent been able to use these subs with a meter yet and I am about the worst person in the world to guess spl for. I thought my system was gonna be able to barely be able to do 140db and I am doing 146. I also thought my buddies truck would be able to do 10 easy and he cant crack 137 so I really am not good at that whole guessing thing. Also what kind of car is this in.

well, it would start out prolly in a nissan sentra se-r lol if the wing decides to stay on, and then move to a s10 ext cab

Just a stab in the dark but I would say that it should hit high 140's pretty easy, but I dont know for sure

lol lets hope u guess low, i was gunna get a W7 and a 1000/1 but....these MTX are lookin nice

I personally like the JL better because it plays loud and still sounds good, but... im guessing you want spl so the mtx will probobly be a little louder.

ya, i want to roll up somewhere and make everyone hear me, i know JL does the same but my boy has JL w3's and i dont wanna be like him lol even though his system hurts. between two 9500's and 2 w6v2's, SPL wise 9500 would win???? (ran on the 1501D)  i was gunna run the w6's on a 1000/1

one more thing, im compareing this system to my friends w3's on a 500/1 installed exactly as JL spec'd so i want to be louder than him by a lot

i would personally get the 9500's they're also cheaper in price too than the W7's, plus when installing them you dont have the foam being overtop of the screw holes and having to take off the rim of the sub. as for sound wise. just put the sub onto low pass filter. and let your mids and tweets do the work.

The MTX 12" sub are about the same price as the 12" W7.

Not at retail my friend. At dead retail, at least in Canada, The MTX is 200 bucks cheaper and that comes out to 400 bucks a pair. Thats alotta green.

noooooo no no no no. you misunderstand netboy up here in canada a W7 retails about 1000$ if not more. a 9500 is about 200$ less. so a pair would retail 1600$. so in the states, that would be about 900-1100$ for a pair of 9500's give or take a few!

i can get them 750 a pair easy. anyone got a guess on DB it will hit, and these are good SQ subs people, the SPL subs are the RFL line, commonly mistakin

ya ok..750 a pair easy.......in the states. up here in canada they would run about 1200-1400$ a pair!
