Alright so awhile ago i bought a MTX 7801 amp cause i got it for a steal basically and i really liked the type r's at the time. So i got two 12's dual 4ohm and blew them got another pair and blew them, i dont know why but i did... anywho so now im thinkin of the MTX 9500 12" now i've only had mtx amps, i have never had one of there subs... now i've been reading a lot of the forums and most people prefer jl's and what not but i thought i would give the 9500 a chance what do you guys think? has anyone heard them in a sealed box?

 

do a ported box. trust me. biggest mistake i ever made with my old kicker setup was sealed! STAY AWAY FROM SEALED!

 

::cough cough:: JL lol

 

::cough cough:: will lose to RE

 

I am new to this forum. But i just bought a 10" JL w7 and i am gonna get a JL 500/1 amp for it and i have heard a ported box is better than the sealed ones but why is that?

 

alot louder (if built right)

Big difference. more dB's.

Like my 6 kicker setup would have been lucky to get 145 everyone was saying. Now ported it could have been 150 or so (maybe)

 

ok so i should go with a ported box then i but i dont know how to build so i would have to find a place to build one or somebody who knows how. But i used to have a 10" alpine type r with a kenwood 1800 watt amp but i blew the sub and am trying to sell the amp now and that was in a sealed box and it sounded ok.

Set it to ur specs. thats set for one of the designs of my box. That should help ya quite abit.

 

ok thanks for the help. I dont know a hole lot about this kind of stuff so should i get a capacitor to go wtih the system or what?

 

naw u should be set. I ran my kickers with the PA A1800DB and i didnt have any problem. Should be fine without the cap.

Also For ported stuff im just venturing into that world to. Building my first ported box maybe this weekend :X But there are alot of people here to help u..


Oh crap its 1 I'm goin to bed. I'm supposed to be asleep. Someones gonna be pissed at me tomorrow lol
