same with people buying escalades, hummers, navigators etc, those people might like to have the biggest, baddest sub around, doesn't matter if it gets outperformed by a wall of subs at a fraction the cost

Is this something you're planning, or planned to attempt?
or were you just wondering.

The Jackhammer has done it's goal once again: it has gotten more people looking at MTX, the MTX website, and what other products MTX has to offer for the average customer.

Kudo's to a great company.

I can agree with that... I'm sure MTX didn't think anyone was seriously going to use this thing, it's no differnet that automotive prototypes... they rarely go into production, they just make them for the engineers, and the designers to go nuts on, then they run them through the autosalons, and generally chop them up...

with all the revenue related to that sub, and PMR tell MTX it was pointless

it's useless to me as well, but as a marketing ploy, it was quite successfull

Its called the halo affect.

Its very common in the automotive feild. Ford's most recent attempt would be the Ford GT, toyota did it with the prius.

that installation was a disgrace to the hobby, and industry...

they tried to run like 8000 watts, and I'd be willing to bet that the stock electrical system they (i guess figured was good enough) had in that car was probably good for about 1200-1300w max... what a joke...
