[B16a2 Civic]

well i had read about it in one of the previews to all the products comming out in 2005, well, i was at a friends house yesterday and i saw pimp my ride and they put that 22inch MTX Jackhammer speaker into a car, it took 4 or 6 amps and 6 caps to power it and they said it went well over 10 decibals....i wanna kno has anyone heard of of these in person, that shit looked bad...
oh i forgot to add, it took like 3 batteries to power it

actually, they said it weighs 335 lbs....that had to reinforce it with alot of bolts and a big ass box, they took out the whole back seat just to make room for it......wonder how long it will be before all the chevy boys on 24's will have that on their shit

With a $5000 price tag I doubt that many people will have it.

Its pointless, I saw the end of that pimp my ride, they had the db meter barely breaking 100 (I think i saw 100.2 as the highest they had) and they were all freaking out "This is INSANE!!!" :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: I wouldnt doubt though that tuned correctly that sub easily does 150s.

I saw that shit on MTV today...CRAZY!!!! first cat in the world to have it....they had to use a cherry picker to get it in there and then had to support it from the rear to get it to stay...CRAZY power!!!!

Reminds me of something Jeremy Clarkson said when he tested the Super Evo.
"Its a bit like Jordan. I can see why they did it, a bit of a laugh... but I think they've gone too far. I think its all just a bit too silly."

Do you know what weighted DB meter they were using? if its 100.2 on an A weight DB meter that is loud as fuck. If that is a 100.2 on a C weighted meter that is a little over room level.

Pretty cool sub, but it doesnt compare to the clarion thunderdome... 32 inches of speaker.. here are the only pictures I can find..

[Spyder]

bump so B.Ruff sees this :)

[B16a2 Civic]

Lol.....im not putting it in my car though....my will even slower cause of the weight and teh cops will pull me over whenver i turn my cd player on...

thanks spydie

[Spyder]

i figured you woul appreciate that :D

[B16a2 Civic]

fuckin thunderdome...that shit looks liek itw ould beat even harder...why...CAUSE ITS CLARION BITCHES

[SPL_Jetta]

Mtv and West Coast Customs really capped the potential of that sub, with 6,000 watts it could only hit 130 dB, thats pethetic, with my single orion i hit 141.2 I know they had to really underpower that subwoofer, or i have a feeling he might have been able to blow out his windows. Also i would like to see him hit a speed bump and see that subwoofer rip right out of its box. Imagine if he hit something, the car stops, and u have a 335 pound projectile going damn fast, think of it as a slow moving 22 deck gun shell :goodjob:

[ACCORDRYDA23]

^^^ 130DB is pretty lousy for that woofer but i do think it had a lot to do with airspace... i mean shit that much speaker would needa friggin bus to really get that pressure jus right

[tony danza]

all that sub is , is novelty, it actually retails for about 7500 why would anyone spend that much for that, it prolly sounds horrible too

[curves]

does that thing do mach 1? looks like it could go back in time.

[brokecivic]

damn is all i have to say about bioth of those subs damn

[green91]

id rather have a image dynamics IDmax. get a quality sub instead of that mtx garbage. i had a jl 12w3 in a vt box and hit 139.7dB in my hatch

[hybrid90accord]

That jackhammer on pimp my ride had no real enclosure, That DB meter was bullsh*t, and thats a pure SPL sub, so their is a 10 out of 10 chance it will sound like crap but most pure $1000 and up SPL sub so. If You walled of that car and ported that sh*t and tuned that box high like in the mid 40'shz that sub will probably hit in the mid 150's with only half its recommened power handling. Im no MTX fan but thats the best large woofer i've seen to date,

[Nismo]

I personally heard this at Ces, its fucking huge, the little car it was attached to was moving around when the sub would move, it was intense

[XBLG20]

Pimp my ride did one

[h4l]

young jezzy had a yukon with one in it at a car show that shit beat so hard its crazy

[Spyder]

2 post and you bump a thread that has been dead for over half a year... lol :)

[2.0civic]

they used the jackhammer on a pimp my ride epsiode

[BanginJimmy]

a year or so back a shop did a side by side test DD9917 vs the jackhammer in an SPL Astro. I dont rremember all the specifics but the DD got louder with less power and used less than half the space to do it.

[rickgiblin]

the guy from pimp my ride is suing mtv for loss of hearing cuse of the sub.

he will probably win too. Lack of common sense on your part is now a reason to sue a company for.

[B16a2 Civic]

omg, ya'll brought this back

[an0therh22]

to fuckin big for my taste when someone gets it locally let me know so i can hear it in person i wanna feel what deafness feels like

[splsoarer]

that sub sucks soo bad there is a guy that can only do 130s with it in dbdrag and i can do that with one 6.5

he had 8 pioneer 1500s to power it and 16 batteries also

[B16a2 Civic]
