Anyone used both MTX and JL Audio Subwoofers? I can get one 12 inch W7 for twice the money of two 10 inch MTX 4000's.

Would it be worth it?

I have a Ford 150 97' Truck.

 

It depends on what you are looking for. I don't believe in buying more speaker than your ear can hear. 2 10" or 12" MTXs will give you good sound. The W7 will definately sound better than both MTXs together but only will will be able to decide if it sounds twice as good. (it does, but you need to ask yourself do you want to spend the money).

It also depends on how much amp you plan to push them with. JL Audio recommends a minimum of 400 watts rms for the 12" W7. It runs the best at about 800 to 900 watts rms.
The MTX 4000 series rms ranges from 100 to 250 depending on which one you get.

If you want the best possible sound of the two choices, AND you have the money, get the W7 and a really good amp...IMO.

 

Do you like the JL Audio 500/1 and 1000/1 amps?

 

Get the W7. Much better sub. If you are looking at buying a W7 then you must be serious about throwing down some dinero. Talk with Don about the Diamond Audio M612D4 before you buy anything. YOu will be happy with the price and the performance.

 

Waht does your budget look like???

 

Unless you really want a bumping system, I wouldn't recommend the W7...if you're looking for something around 200W or so, maybe go for one of the earlier W series JL subs... I had 2 JL Audio 15W0's in the back of my escort with a 350W amp hooked up to those....sweeeeet bass

 

In addition to being very unhappy with MTX sound, I've had bad experiences with MTX speakers. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

 

JL all the way
