I was going to say the samething, how did $1500+ get reduced to $400? Also what was wrong with your hooked on phonics amp and 2 L7's when you say it pounding harder then my Memphis and 2 L7s? I know you said the box was too big but that is an easy fix.

omg dude where and why did you get an MT? Those things need a HUUUUUUUUUGE box and suck for music. And by huge i mean HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE box. With loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooots of port. Basically it will suck for music.

oh, and it would be impossible to find an amp for $500 that would properly push an MT, nevermind a pair. Those things need like 3k rms each cuz they are suuuuuuuuper inefficient. Like the most inefficient sub ever built.

I used to have a set and to date they were probably the most unloud pair of subs I've ever used. Not because they are bad subs but becuase you need to put them in a wall (HUGE box) with lots and lots of port. They are crazy inefficient. Wont be any louder than your kickers were, probably be less loud actually.

just get some TFOne's, give them 1500 rms each and you will be done with your quest for loud bass.

^^^I'm with them. Shop around before pre-mature ejecting of funds. It's all about the package, not get what you can for now. People blow their up because of that.
