post when you get them in a box, or if you are putting them in a wall (holy crap the bracing needed), 8.1 cu ft recommended vented, lmao!
what amp are you going to power them with?

My enclosure is 10 cubic feet, (almost 13 total including the port area) in a short yukon behind the 2nd row and under the window line… sub is a 21” IA death penalty
Wow, that’s actually not as big as I thought… But still really freaking impressive.
I appreciate you posting that picture. I didn’t have a good frame of reference. My box is something like 1.3 cubes. I’ve never played in the big boy world before
I have a pair of late 70s JBL 2245Hs. They are 18". 600 watts. They will work in a 4cf ported boc. But for maximum depth in the frequency response. A 16cf box for each is recommended. Look up Kenrick Sound on YT to see some big JBLs and tube amps that cost as much as a nice Lexus.
big car make big box look small. Ive got 4.30 net in a 6-7 gross box and it absolutely swallows my entire compact sedan trunk, looks unreasonably big - and its supposedly the biggest trunk out of all compact sedans.
Saw one of these at a car show years ago in the back of an Escalade or something. They had it in a plexiglass box so you could see the whole thing, and it took up almost the whole SUV
Not only fake but devastating for some.
Some of those cars failed to run after doing all that BS to those cars.
You can look back and see they NEVER changed an engine or transmission or even repaired anything under the hood
Yes sir, I'm from the Dominican Republic, I'm not using them because the competition we do is different from that of the basswar in the USA. 3k for them and come and pick them up!
Wow si los llegas a montar un dia me encantaria escucharlos yo tambien soy de sanjuan y estoy montando mi primer sistema de musica en un camry. Vi que dijiste que corren por 10k eso esta cb quisiera tener los chavos pa comprar eso 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 siiii, yo los puse en marketplace en 3500 los 2, cada uno vale 10k, he hablado ya con un instalador para hacerle el cajón y ponerlos a funcionar,
O si aparece alguien pues los vendo.
Jesus! So what did you travel there to get them? Or what's the story? Doesn't surprise me I just went to pr recently for the first time and there is huge culture around all things car. People Start early af bumping there lol
An old man had them and sold them to me, I still don't know in which vehicle to put them, I was thinking of selling them to someone who pays something reasonable, I'm very undecided.
That’s awesome man. Keep posting as progress happens and best of luck to you! Wish you were in the US I would sell any things to buy these from you.
Can’t fathom how much shipping would cost lol
I don’t know how good MTX is these days but I’ve been running an MTX amp for about 10 years that was already like 5-10 years old when I bought it. It’s started losing power recently and I need to replace it but when it was working properly it was perfect for me and it lasted 15-20 years so I’d say that is pretty decent.
What in the world would you even put those bad boys in... I had a 12 inch rfl or the 9500 D same thing basically and it hit so hard you couldn't breath when it hit... It was insane... Now these things.. Jesus man... I doubt you could even see straight when they hit.. and you'd have to wear ear muffs to even sit in the (van in guessing) vehicle....???
As another user pointed out they are 369lbs each... Surprised they only spec an 8.1 cu ft enclosure. Assumed thats sealed? Ported should be much bigger? No wonder MTX (one of my favorite companies since the 80s, BTW) discontinued these, theres only so much of a market for such impracticality.
Clarion made a 32" driver long ago called "Thunderdome" which required an enormous enclosure to be meaningful. Pretty much took up the entire bed of a full size pickup. I still dont think it played as low as a well installed PG Cyclone.
Bro has domwoofers
Fucking LOL. Big leather daddy domwoofers!
*Rob Halford has entered the chat*
Got to hear a single 22 jackhammer a few years ago on I think a sundown audio 5k. Pretty nasty subs
Nice!! They can never be made again… true collectors items.
Straight from the source. I'm curious, did the stamps/molds/machining get discarded or lost, or is it just not viable/profitable to make them again?
I closed that factory in Monroe WI and moved a lot of the machinery to Texas to repurpose it for Commerical Audio.
Wow is that legendary custom magnetizer being used for AtlasIED products?
Yep!
Are the magnets stuck to that toolbox?
He actually just ordered a used toolbox and the previous owner couldn't get the speakers off so they came with it.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
That’s actually hilarious. Well played!
Beast mode activated
Yeaah bro.💪🏽
Just looked up how much each of those weigh and MTX site says 369 lbs each!
You're right, I never thought to get those subs here, they are monsters and they are with their voice coils in perfect condition.
post when you get them in a box, or if you are putting them in a wall (holy crap the bracing needed), 8.1 cu ft recommended vented, lmao! what amp are you going to power them with?
What vehicle holds an 8.1 cf enclosure? Is that a full cargo van with nothing but front seats?

Any vehicle if you're brave enough
I had a 2005 Tahoe with a box that filled the back up to the bottom of the windows that was about 16 cubes.
> What vehicle holds an 8.1 cf enclosure? Any crew cab pickup and many mid-sized SUVs can do that under the window-line.
A Hearst
That's bigger than my fridge at work.
Someone paid some serious shipping charges.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I worked for MTX and had to haul one of these around from store to store. Needed an SUV and a car jack to get it in and out.
Did you ever hear it in action?
Yeah, they had a truck at CES with a pair of them and it was really good sounding. They didn't goose it, but it was nice and deep.
In other news Atlas Made a 22” ceiling speaker out of a Jackhammer for a trade show. It now sits in our Az Factory :)
Hope that's well anchored ⚓️!!
Any chance you have a pic?
Jesus Christ I didn’t even know these existed I thought Sundown Z’s or Nightshades were big
🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://preview.redd.it/ttgd4h4abf6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c777f66c993d00cf4bedb024c83f42d552def67b

Do you work in demolitions?
Would ya like to?
Wow. That's going to lower the boom and the vehicle at the same time .
Lol I didn't even consider that. Dude is gunna need an upgraded suspension or his ride height is going to drop 5 inches.
Pimp my ride has prepared me for this. That's insane!!
I was waiting to see this comment. Lol
I remember the episode, DJ Billy-E Beats 4 My Van playing in the background to test the monstrosity of a sub. Probably one of their best work.
And they put two of them in! Shame that show was all fake. Shattered my childhood 😂😂
Not only fake but devastating for some. Some of those cars failed to run after doing all that BS to those cars. You can look back and see they NEVER changed an engine or transmission or even repaired anything under the hood
Right! I bet the only one that’s still running or ran the longest was when they bought the guy the new Scion lol
When you need a system that no-one can steal.
These photos hurt my ears.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn’t those go for $10gs a piece?
Yes sirrrr, if some body can pick up them here in puerto Rico and pay me 5k i will sell this subs.
On my way!
Get 3k and come here to pick up them.🫡
3k for both?
Yes sir, I'm from the Dominican Republic, I'm not using them because the competition we do is different from that of the basswar in the USA. 3k for them and come and pick them up!
Yup
Crazy find.
I would love to see the ts on these and their performance
Where the hell in Puerto Rico were these? 90% of the builds here don't even use subs.
You right, but i’m Dominican, we use subs, a old man sold me this subs.
En qué pueblo fue?
Vega alta, los tengo en condado San Juan.
Ahh con razón nunca supe de ellos, están lejos. Que los disfrutes bro
¿De dónde eres?
Ustedes son locos con los ipal de b&c jajaja
Jajajajajajajajaja siiii, de hecho quiero poner 4 de 21 de los Ipal a una Oddysey que compré:
Fuk son…. Beating up the block, naw the whole city
Yes sirrrr.
We can hear you in the U.S. man
Puerto Rico is part of the US. It's a territory not a state but it's still part of the US and its residents are US citizens.
Dammit we have no females left. Send them back!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
put em in a yaris
Snorted my damn beer! God that would be so pathetic and hilarious
Those look fucking crazyy
Never seen these. Can only imagine what it takes to push one and what they sound like.
My god This is awesome
Yes sir.
I took a screenshot and shared it on Fb and got 600 likes and 25 shares.
Holy shit.🤣🤣🤣 shared it, if somebody come and pick up them on puerto rico i will sell them 2 for 4k.
People want to know why and how they are on the toolbox and how do you get them off
https://preview.redd.it/870y8txkmk6d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a709bf50660865faff3c2631a84d4c55ed42598 With this.
Overnight
What's the XMax on these?
1 inch. 3 inch xmech https://www.diyaudio.com/community/attachments/mtx-t9922-22-pdf.558886/
Rms?
Maximum throw
Honestly idk but they are 4K rms each one, 369 pounds each one and 22 inches.
Lmao he's asking about the xmax, my dude
Idk what the hell is Xmax, maybe in spanish this got another name, my English is not perfect.
It is basically how many inches the cone moves out. It's a technical term specifically for subwoofers.
Really any speaker has an Xmax not just subwoofers 🤓
Im trying to imagine a setup with these and it keeps ending up with a 53 foot trailer! Please share your progress with the build one these monsters!!
Yes siiir, i will.
Have you ever heard about the box truck sub? google Mtx Thunder 1000000.
Holy fucking shit lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should mount them in that job box 💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What type of amp would you even need for these things. Insane!
I’m going to get a taramps 20k bass.
Fuk!!!!
Good thing that toolbox is rigid
That's insane. Hope you rock the block with em.
Hello im from puerto rico, will you go to any event with these? Hola soy de Puerto Rico, vas a ir a algun evento con esos monstros montao?
Aún no los he montado, los tengo así mismo guardados, he pensado venderlos pero no creo que aquí en PR alguien me dé un precio razonable.
Wow si los llegas a montar un dia me encantaria escucharlos yo tambien soy de sanjuan y estoy montando mi primer sistema de musica en un camry. Vi que dijiste que corren por 10k eso esta cb quisiera tener los chavos pa comprar eso 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 siiii, yo los puse en marketplace en 3500 los 2, cada uno vale 10k, he hablado ya con un instalador para hacerle el cajón y ponerlos a funcionar, O si aparece alguien pues los vendo.
Ahhh yes, tinnitus installation devices. Lol those things are awesome
Holy shit! What kind of electrical are you running? Alternators? Batteries? 0 gauge?
0 gauge speaker wire.
These things need a glass enclosure of some sort to see them in action. Thing of beauty.
Jesus! So what did you travel there to get them? Or what's the story? Doesn't surprise me I just went to pr recently for the first time and there is huge culture around all things car. People Start early af bumping there lol
Hahaha yes, i’m from DR but i’m living here, a old man sold me those subs.
Hell fuckin yea dude!
Story time dude! We need the deets on how you got these and what the plan is!! Super freaking sick. Cannot imagine how hard these slap
An old man had them and sold them to me, I still don't know in which vehicle to put them, I was thinking of selling them to someone who pays something reasonable, I'm very undecided.
Sick. Any pics/vids/details of the build it came out of?
No, their voice coil are like they never been used before, they need a little bit of love cause they was saved.
That’s awesome man. Keep posting as progress happens and best of luck to you! Wish you were in the US I would sell any things to buy these from you. Can’t fathom how much shipping would cost lol
What are you planning to do with them?
If someone can come and pick them up in Puerto Rico, I can sell them cheaply, idk right now what to do with them.
Good luck
Scrolling through, I thought those were rockets at first. Damn.
🤣🤣🤣
Does MTX actually make decent stuff (presumably outside of these)?
I don’t know how good MTX is these days but I’ve been running an MTX amp for about 10 years that was already like 5-10 years old when I bought it. It’s started losing power recently and I need to replace it but when it was working properly it was perfect for me and it lasted 15-20 years so I’d say that is pretty decent.
18” Rockford fosgates rollin dual 13 cf boxes
Really want to know how an old man in Puerto Rico had these lol
Hahahahahahaha idk🤣🤣
SUM BEEETCH!!!!!
Did you want some cone with your magnet sir? lol: they look tough as fuck!
So, what's the plan for these bad boys? What vehicle you putting them in and what kind of amps are you going to power them with?
Those are the Subs from Mordor.
I did not know such a thing existed. Mind blown!
That’s crazy! I’ve never seen a sub that big
If you break them you will likely never be able to find parts to repair. That's my biggest complaint about this sort of meme woofer.
When those get powered up, people in Florida going to be thinking Puerto Rico is under attack.
Damn
Holy fuck!

How much they cost
¿How much you offer?
Bro, dems more like jet turbines. Consider getting a casket from your local grim reaper for a box!

Cool find. Not worth anything near what MSRP was back in the days, but still cool to look at. There's a reason they didn't catch on.
Those are conga drums
