MTXAudio Tn12-04 12" Single 4 Ohm Terminator Series Subwoofer Black

i’ve had these in my car now for 2-3 years still going i think my ears have just gotten used to them so they don’t hit as hard

This subwoofer is a pretty good value if on sale. For $40 its hard to beat. I bought this subwoofer because it was the best value at the time in terms of price versus driver specifications such as Fs and power handling.I put this into a 2.0 cu ft ported box tuned to 30 Hz and was impressed by the sound it generated powered by a 400 W rms amp.For a small system i.e. in a car or garage it delivers plenty of volume on 100-200W. At 400 W I believe the subwoofer is reaching its limits and Im afraid it will damage the unit.Compared to my friend's system however, this subwoofer lacks clarity of bass notes. It sounds a bit muddy and it can be hard to distinguish between different bass notes. This could be due to the fact that the 2.0 cu ft box it is in causes the subwoofer to be overdamped... In WinISD the subwoofer performs optimally in a box that is over 10 cu ft due to its high Qts. The manual for this driver specifies a ported box around 1.8 cu ft, which is far too small for this driver; to get decent output and extension I believe you will need to build something at least 3.0 cu ft, which is something to keep in mind if placing it in a small room.If you are looking for super low extension (<30 Hz) or for additional power handling for greater volumes in larger rooms, you will need to look at the Road thunder line-up or at other pricier brands of subwoofers. However, for a small system or if it is your first system, you will probably be satisfied with the output of this 12" subwoofer.

It showed up the morning after I ordered it. Free shipping too! I hooked it up and it sounds great. Wayyy better than the piece of crap I had in the box before. Thanks!
