Silver Member Username: GeekbikePost Number: 361 Registered: Dec-04 | Above 100dB!?!??!?!?!? WOW, it didn't think a JackHammer with 6000w running to it could ever hit that?!?!?! Seriously, that is just stupid. |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 414 Registered: Jan-05 | wow 100db, my kicker comps hit 126 with 200 watts, that sub better hit 100db doing a 1hz test tone. |
|
Silver Member Username: Xdrummer03Tenessee Post Number: 105 Registered: Jul-05 | I doubt they turned it all the way up with them in.Especially when the subs magnet is at there ear.When i was watching didnt look like it was cranked.They had something called a "ridiculious bass meter" LOL!

Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA Post Number: 352 Registered: Dec-04 | I'll get an eclipse pro and blow that sh!t out the water. note: changed my name lol |
|
keepitreal Unregistered guest | you shouldn't hate something you've never heard. Over the top? Hell yeah! That 22 is meant to be over the top. Sure, 100db is nothing. Don't be stupid...anyone that knows anything should beable to figure out that over 6,000 watts will create much higher SPL numbers. This sub is the real deal...all the parts on that sub are that big for a reason...They need to be to handle that much power(more power than any single amp can make), move that much air and keep control of the massive cone. |

Bronze Member Username: DtribePost Number: 89 Registered: Jun-05 | I saw tht p imp my ride episode too I was impressed They usually make pimpa$$ cars with sh*tty systems but that was the best thing i have saw on their since 2 orion 10s Im talking bout quallity not size |
|
Bronze Member Username: DtribePost Number: 90 Registered: Jun-05 | i wonder waht size alternator it had.... I saw it had a optima yellow top |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3849 Registered: Dec-04 | its re-running again right now. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3850 Registered: Dec-04 | they ran 6 capacitors, and 6 yellowtops with 8500 watts but no alt upgrade that is some funny SH!T |
|
Silver Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 721 Registered: Mar-05 | Is the sub running free air? Not to mention all that crap in the trunk rattling like a rattle snake. |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 536 Registered: May-05 | .. money can't buy common sense.. but it can p!mp your ride... just... by idiots who can afford it. |
|
jungala Unregistered guest | actually jbl makes an amp that produces 6,000 watts |
|
Silver Member Username: Iowahawks19Post Number: 395 Registered: Jun-05 | dang, how big, and how much does that amp weigh? prolly costs like 2 grand or more |
|
Muddywaters Unregistered guest | It retails for a dollar a watt($6,000) Dimensions(H x W x D) 6-1/2" x 29-3/8" x 23" |
|
Gold Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 1064 Registered: Nov-04 | I know zapco has an amp that puts out around 4,000 watts that could probably push it nicely and if not soundstream has one that puts out 5,000. |
|
Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA Post Number: 365 Registered: Dec-04 | sh!t, I'll get 2 earthquake amps for half the price and still have the same wattage. |
|
Silver Member Username: Iowahawks19Post Number: 401 Registered: Jun-05 | haha yea i thought it would be more, but i remember seeing a post around here claiming he got that amp for 1200$, so i thought it would be around 2, 3 grand i wonder how many batteries it takes to run that anyone got a link to it? |

RT59SPL13.5W7S4000+ Unregistered guest | they make a us amp that puts out like 10,000w but im not a fan of us amplifiers i would go with 2 zapco 4000w amps to each voice coil and a enormous vented enclosure tuned at like 42hz or so in a dodge magnum with a 250amp alt and more like 8 yellow tops or some kind of deepcycle batt 900 or higher that way you would keep it around 14v all the time and you would have a serious SPL car (wagon) |

Bronze Member Username: UcfsaxmanOviedo/orlando, Fl Post Number: 89 Registered: May-05 | I think P!mp my ride is starting to go downhill they are getting ridiciulous w/ stuff and some of that stuff sucks. I would be pissed if i was the girl who got the frickin vegetable bar and and like 2 no name brand 10's and this dude gets that ridiculous sub. It seems like the cars are getting crappier and the "P!MPING" is gettting more over the top. lol I definatley did not like that one corolla who had the monitors on the outside on each corner. You's think people would steal that in a heart beat i think that was a bad idea for a daily driver. |

Silver Member Username: Fastbastard1977Lousiville, Ky Usa Post Number: 168 Registered: May-05 | is there a price on that jackhammer |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 11 Registered: Aug-05 | scroll up to my last post |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 12 Registered: Aug-05 | same price as the 6,000 watt Jbl Amp |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 13 Registered: Aug-05 | the dimensions are not for the sub |
|
Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA Post Number: 404 Registered: Dec-04 | Still a big @$$ amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 19 Registered: Aug-05 | oh yeah, it's huge |
|
Bronze Member Username: BassssPost Number: 46 Registered: Jul-05 | i dont even think they made a box they just damped the trunk an faced the sub in the trunk wit no box. |
|
Bronze Member Username: JechapkPost Number: 19 Registered: Jun-05 | i saw this last night or the night before....it looks like the electrical system is lacking... under 12 volts if i saw correctly (well thats what was on the caps) like 11.5-11.9 they should have thrown in at least 2 200-250 amp alternators... did they replace the engine, because another 700-800 lbs is really going to drag him down in that POS car well i cant say much about that as i have an 88 olds ;[ hes gonna be pissed when he gets home and tries to leave only to find he cant start his car |
|
Bronze Member Username: JechapkPost Number: 20 Registered: Jun-05 | wow as i look at the amps more carefully, two of em strapped has a 300 amp draw...they put 4 in there so uh yeah |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 87 Registered: May-05 | Makes you wonder if the guys really know what their doing.... I know one thing he better have video surveillance, gps, or something because if I were a smart car theif Id have that car down to a shop in less than a week |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3874 Registered: Dec-04 | yup they said he was the only car in the world with that sub(not including MTX's vehicle) That is prob already gone. He would be lucky to get 1 weeks worth of listening before his car gets flat bedded. |
|
Silver Member Username: Big_osoPost Number: 341 Registered: Jun-05 | Yeah but if someone does steal it I think it would be very easy to find out. Im sure MTX is keeping a list of purchases for that sub. So someone who steals it is basically retarded. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3875 Registered: Dec-04 | yeah true! |
|
Silver Member Username: Big_osoPost Number: 358 Registered: Jun-05 | But what it will happen and when it does it will end up on the news. It never fails. There are plenty of dumbasses out there. The question is which one is the stupidest to actually complete the task. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 89 Registered: May-05 | Well I was speaking of the car in general. MTX cant keep trck of where all those subs are if someone stole it and sold it on the street it could even end up in another country for all we know. And I bet if you give it time every basshead who has a decent job is going to try and get one |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 23 Registered: Aug-05 | Is it really that hard to get ahold of one of those subs??? |
|
Silver Member Username: AcevolkovSpringfield, Missouri United Stated Post Number: 107 Registered: Jul-05 | i sent an email to MTX about the jackhammer, and they sent me a pre written email back is two days. it cost 7,500 dollars, and the rest was just advertisments we already know (a MASSIVE 369 lbs...yeah yeah yeah) |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 31 Registered: Aug-05 | That is extremely not worth it in my opinion. You could get so many MT's and blow that thing out of the water. Does anyone know aprox how many people actually own them at the moment?? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 93 Registered: May-05 | They havent formally been released I guess i should say. Casey post their reply. UPH you never know.... I have seen to 18 in MTs get beat by 1 9515 but there are so many installer factors that could change that outcome so.... |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 70 Registered: Aug-05 | Yeah, that is true. A poorly made enclosure and the vehicle would have to be two of the main factors. |
|
runit Unregistered guest | the sub isn't in production yet. |
|
Ivand Unregistered guest | XX MAXXIMUS makes 10k RMS, just gooogle it |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 105 Registered: May-05 | it is it just isnt available to the the average citizen. thetrue22.com Dont know why but mtx made a website dedicated to it but unfortunatley most of it is still under construction. You know if I am able to get this insurance claim from this car wreck i will get one just to let you guys know what it sounds like. lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 386 Registered: Aug-05 | i would get 2 treo ssx 15's 2,500 watts rms each, and the 5,000 watt soundstream amp, and make your head bleed lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 112 Registered: May-05 | that reminds me i meant to start a thread about those how is the sound quality on those |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 392 Registered: Aug-05 | not sure, the only SSX's i have heard were 2 with 4,000 watts rms on them, and 3 with 2,000 watts on them, they are meant mostly for SPQL if you will, that meaning they don't sound bad, but they get really loud! lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 113 Registered: May-05 | How much are they How would you rate their SQ as compared to other drivers |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 397 Registered: Aug-05 | the SSX 12's are $700 the SSX 15's are $800-$850 the SSX 18's are $1000 they are not really Sound Quality Drivers, but if you want really loud bass, that doesn't sound like crap, they are a great product |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 398 Registered: Aug-05 | they also are not cheap, but they are built very well and come with a 3-year dealer installed warranty |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 399 Registered: Aug-05 | *3-year dealer installed warranty* |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 400 Registered: Aug-05 | they are not warrantied sold over the internet, something about they want you to have the best customer service when dealing with their products, and professional advice, so they only warranty them if you buy them from a dealer |

Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 114 Registered: May-05 | I am looking for good not perfect loud bass but.... not at that price. Would you see it as worth the price. |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 402 Registered: Aug-05 | there are other speakers out there that would give you the bass you want for less money, but the Treo's are among the top-of-the-line subs http://www.ddaudio.com/dd/default.asp http://www.reaudio.com/html/ http://imagedynamicsusa.com/page.php?page=products# these are all very goos subs for a lot less money that hit plenty hard |
|
Silver Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 403 Registered: Aug-05 | http://www.eclipse-web.com/speaker/index.html#sub http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/subwoofers/ these are two other companies i didn't mention, but i figured that somebody would say "well what about these" so i figured i get that out of the way by posting them lol |
|
Silver Member Username: CnafetsPost Number: 115 Registered: Aug-05 | http://www.incriminatoraudio.com http://www.ascendantaudio.com Some more subs. Ascendant Audio is sold out right now though. |

|
runit Unregistered guest | not 2K....try 6K...your "unauthorized dealer" doesn't know what he's talkin' about. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dz43893Chicago, Illinois United states Post Number: 240 Registered: Jun-05 | for 6 K why not get some RE mt's for a fraction of the price, i bet 2 or 3 18'' would smoke that 1 sub. |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 120 Registered: May-05 | unauthorized dealers dont sell at msrp Let me put it this way they sell at ebay prices Dz you really dont know that for sure do you because you havent heard it before besides it would be out of curiousity |

Either way, please contact us so we can point you to an appropriate MTX retailer that will feed your need for the Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Bass! Answers To Your Questions About JackHammer: Q. What is the cost of the JackHammer? A. The woofer itself is an MSRP of $7,500.00 each. Q. When will the JackHammer be available to order/purchase? A.

JackHammer is all about excess! It is the 1st commercially available True 22" woofer for mobile audio enthusiasts who only want the best. Learn more at HYPERLINK "http://www.thetrue22.com/"www.thetrue22.com Q. How loud will it play? A. Its output level is equal to 7 of the MTX Thunder9500 12's!

The sound quality of the JackHammer will equal or exceed other high quality subs, even MTX's Thunder 9500's and also plays lower.

It will fit in most full size SUV's and any appropriate vehicle in a custom installation. Q. How much does the JackHammer weigh? A. The woofer itself weighs 369 lbs., but keep in mind, the typical SUV it will be installed in is designed to haul much heavier loads. Q. Is it going to be offered in a pre-fab enclosure like the 9500 SledgeHammer? A. Yes. A single woofer in its specifically designed SledgeHammer enclosure has an MSRP of $10,000.00 Q. What if the JackHammer is not right for me, but I am interested in other great MTX products? A. Visit HYPERLINK "http://www.mtx.com/"www.mtx.com , call 1-800-CALL-MTX or locate your nearest MTX retailer at http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/dealer.cfm |

Silver Member Username: Dz43893Chicago, Illinois United states Post Number: 247 Registered: Jun-05 | wow i cant imagine spending 10 grand on a box. |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 124 Registered: May-05 | well its 2.5k but still thats a hell of alot of money. that box must weigh at least 150lbs to be that much. I cant even see it worth it any vehicle unless you have a hummer or another vehicle of that stature. |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 9222 Registered: Dec-03 | waste of money I could build a cheaper, louder system with better SQ using less airspace and equal power, and equating to less total weight. Shades of the audiobahn 36" subwoofers that flopped. |
|
robert d r d r d Unregistered guest | audiobahn was designing a 36" woofer .. wtf ... lol do u got any pics or specs on it |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 128 Registered: May-05 | and used think 18s were overkill.... |
|
runit Unregistered guest | GlassWolf, do you also think a Rolex is a waste? or a Bentley? A lot of people don't. They are the ones in the market for that sub. |
|
Silver Member Username: Fastbastard1977Lousiville, Ky Usa Post Number: 177 Registered: May-05 | theres a shop in losiville that has one of those audiobahns on the counter. i thought it was fake but its real an it works. but looks nothing like the jackhammer. |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 134 Registered: May-05 | get a picture of it runit id have to agree with you there it really wasnt for us working class citizens so they can get away with charging that much for it |
