New member Username: Arrap69Riverside, CA. USA Post Number: 2 Registered: May-05 | I have a 2002 Silverado and looking into purchasing the MTX THUNDERFORM SUB BOX W/ 2-10 SUBS (paying ~ $300). Is this any good and what might you suggest I run to it? My amplifier budget is $300.00 -Should I keep my Stock Speaker or replace them with something else? What would you do? Any suggestions? No hard feelings taken! Respectfully, Alex |

Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 223 Registered: Feb-05 | What's up Alex so you're from Riverside I'm from Santa Ana Ca. Both of those amp will work great and yes change your stock speaker you might want to get some Infinity's what kind of HU do you have? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 2223 Registered: Jun-04 | alex those 10's only handle 225 rms right? if so you dont need an amp that big |
|
New member Username: Arrap69Riverside, CA. USA Post Number: 6 Registered: May-05 | Sean: 450 W RMS Power Handling. I kind of like your suggestion of the MTX 6500d (~$200.00) What is an HU? Please excuse my lack of familiarity with the abreviations. After purchasing these items; do you recommend me having a specialist install them? Is it worth the pay? ~Alex |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3067 Registered: Nov-04 | HU = Head Unit = your radio/cd player. If you haven't installed anything or don't have electronic background, then let a prof install it. It'll save you lot of grief. If you're going that route, then look for stores that offer free installation with system purchase. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 2226 Registered: Jun-04 | ok as long as your sure thats not peak power per sub I dont wanna see you blow your subs |
|
New member Username: Arrap69Riverside, CA. USA Post Number: 7 Registered: May-05 | Peak Power Handling is 900 W. Do you think this set of MTX 4500 will make me a happy camper. The reason I am looking into this set is because I wanted to keep try this MTX Thunderform Box. It runs for ~300.00 and comes with these two subs. I will replace the front and leave the back as highs. Good Advice; I'll take into a pro. ~Sean; you been a big help. You too KK |
