so i was gonna buy the mtx jack hammer sub and decided to do some research on the mtx site......oh how nice, they let u compare their subs to some other brands.....so i figured hey SOLO X18 is a good match, right?......

notice the number of subs compared and the decible differance


hmm ok, a jackhammer is almost 22 db's louder than the solo x...that is great!

so now i want to see how many solo x 18's my jackhammer to-be can take on......notice the number of subs again, 1 vs 12


OMG one jackhammer is still louder than 12 solo x18's!!! there is no doubt in my mind that i chose the right sub. THANK U MTX!! I CANT WAIT FOR MY JACKHAMMER TO ARRIVE IN MAIL!

......did MTX hire someone from this board to do their product R&D? bigbubba when were u gonna tell us? congrats on the new position!

If you believe those numbers to be the absolute truth, I've got a bridge for sale for you!

 

HAHA U are the man to do all this research and bring us the truth . One word for me im getting 12 Kickers Solo X 's

 

all i remeber about this thing is that when i was at the car toys show in seatle i had a mtx sales man try to tell along with mad man mike from pimp my ride that i would be shure to win in the comp if i had a jackhammer in my car! lolololol. oh ya i won first any way. lol

 

guy, but u could have gained 20 db's!!

 

MTX also has the '04 SoloX 18" Xmax rated at 0.22" when it is actually 0.96" (24.48mm).

 

you know I was feeling really down this morning but when I saw this post it made my day. I think I will go out and contact MTX and get one of those subs ordered today.
Thanks for the indepth research I am confident that I will do well with this sub.
All I have to do now is sell my car so I can Buy it.
I hope I gain 10dbs buy getting one of those.

 

Yeah it's in the Xmax that the huge differences come up. 2.4" vs 0.22". So according to their stats the Jackhammer can excurt over 10 times as far as the Solo. Multiply that by the cone area and it appears that much more displaced air. I'd be suprised if the Solo only had 0.22" of Xmax though. With a cone that big and Xmax that much, I'm sure the Jackhammer could probably post big numbers by itself but just be real when it comes to comparing to other drivers (meaning get all the stats correct), otherwise it will just hurt their credibility.

 

$7,500.00 does that include a car to go with it?

 

What class would a 22" sub put you in??
