Which subs did you order?

 

I'm pretty sure he was only kidding.

The reason this is such a joke to people, is this.

DD has a great track record for being loud, and building a solid sub that cantake thousands of watts.

MTX has a great track record for coming out with something flashy that doesn't perform.

Also the DD has already done huge numbers.
The MTX apparently did a 140 something on pimp my ride.

See that is part of the issue that is out there. Before I start off I want to say that I'm not bashing any product I'm not trying to start anything because some people out there take comments made on this site as personal attacks.

I have not personally heard a DD product so I cannot down talk it or bash it because I don't know that much about it. I have heard they've done fairly well in the past few years with SPL. It's just a little false to say that MTX doesn't perform... They were the very first company to bring a car subwoofer / enclosure to market, so without them, where would this industry be? http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/awards.cfm

The Jackhammer on Pimp my Ride was basically an A/P install that was designed to show the general public what West Coast Customs can do and to bring the woofer to market. The woofer is designed for 8 - 10 cubes and before it's tested with the right amount of power in a proper box, how can you dis-credit it? I have no idea personally what it can do as I haven't seen or heard anything concrete yet to bass my opinion on but I do know what my single 10" with over 1,500 WRMS going to it sounds like and figure if it's as impressive as that on that much of a larger scale, everyone should be impressed.

I am sure that when DD first came out there were people that were dis-crediting them because they were a fairly small company trying to make it in this very competitive market...

Actully I know it was Earl Muntz and LearJet that brought out the first stereos but the first low Fq drivers I believe was RF. And 1973 both Kicker aka Stillwater and RF were born.

Funny how hardly anyone ever understands or gives the credit that is due to this sort of statement.

 

b/c idiots get amazed with things that are much more easily attainable than functionality and quality..........things like SIZE and WEIGHT.

 

Who gives a **** about size and weight?
So long as it's chrome it is teh r0x0rs!

 

I would say that considering how many trophies team Thunderforce has taken home in the past your statement is wrong (just for one example).

 

the sub may play music just fine and it does have a shat load of excursion... (although I question wether or not 2.5" is really linear)

But a high performance woofer would not weight 370lbs IMO.. Infact you could probably shave a few Gs of the price tag if it wasn't made heavy for appearance sake... that is kind of lame IMO..

I would sooner use a pair of smaller woofer for the same or better overall performance and alot less weight.....

of course I don't drive a blinged out H2 either... [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]
