Sledgehammer?
|
Bronze Member Username: Maxil223Post Number: 18 Registered: Jun-05 | I see mtx makes boxes for there subs, I was wondering if the boxes are perfect for there subs. I also wonder if all the boxes are the same or if they are made for specific models(8500, 9500). Someone told me the only way to get the most out of my 9500 is a snailshell box made by Powered4Sound. But the sledgehammer9500 box is a lot cheaper and I was wondering which would do you guys think is the best option. I havent heard a T9512 in either box so I wouldnt know. |

I have no idea what the formulas are and you just can't drop a sub into a snail shell that isn't made for it. |

Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 517 Registered: May-05 | yes, the parameters, not the sub. different subs share similar parameters. particularly qts. at any rate, as i said, i will attempt to find the mtx snail shell site. it's here i just lost it. |

Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 518 Registered: May-05 | ok, i guess it was http://www.powered4sound.com/ after all. maybe they just had a different home page at the time. these WERE designed specifically to the 9500's parameters. |

Bronze Member Username: Maxil223Post Number: 20 Registered: Jun-05 | should I fork out the money for the snailshell(having a friend build one), or buy a sledgehammer box specifically built by mtx for the 9512, I think i could get the sledge bopx for 70. And my friend wants 120 for the Snail Shell because some dumbA** showed him the website. |

Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 521 Registered: May-05 | i would personally go w/the shell for the xtra 50, although i am certain you could show up with 100 and he would get it to you. however, like bass said, the sledges are 95oo specific, so just make sure that your shell is made to specs also. imo, it's worth it, particularly if you only have one sub and the space to hold it. |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 517 Registered: Apr-05 | Yes, the 9500 does come in a SVC configuration as well. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 527 Registered: May-05 | yea its real because i have the SVC version |
|
Bronze Member Username: Maxil223Post Number: 23 Registered: Jun-05 | s the SVC version better or worse? What are advantages and disadvantages of svc vs. dvc. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 547 Registered: May-05 | wiring options. http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/#2dvcsp |

Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 534 Registered: May-05 | their are no advantages technically the only difference is in how you wire it...i wish i had the dual 4ohm version that way i couldve bought a chaep mono-block amp but i had to buy a 2channel amp and bridge it...but hey for $160 shipped i cant complain  |
