Made My Whole Day.
I had been thinking about getting a smaller single Sub to use as my bass Source for the Daily Driving & Use the Dual S15L5's for When I want to make people feel bad.
Low & Behold CraigsList Got Me This Baby AND The Enclosure for 50 BUCKS! damnnn Good.

Oh yea, The Sub & The Enclosure were Both BRAND NEW. Completely Unused in the Boxes.
thats awesome, what amp you useing to power that
the same one i use to power the Dual 15's its a HIFONICS Brutus 2000W @ 1-Ohm but its almost perfect for this little because because its a single 4-Ohm sub and my amp put out its RMS at 4-Ohms
hifonics amps for the win!!!Quote:

Yeah my 3200 watt amps been running HARD for about a year, and I drive around 30k miles a year. Ontop of that I usually blast it on camping trips, working in the garage, or whatever. Damn thing stills works well.Quote:

gotta love it, luckily almost every hifonics amp that they make now is 1-ohm stable, at 4-ohms it still pumps out 625 rms and that little mtx is only 400rms, close enough though, itll have to learn to take the abuse.
The MTX was a nice shot but it couldnt live up to what Id hoped it would, I cant say I expected it to though.
I just went to Ebay and bought a beautiful new '06 S10L7 and an equally nice vented enclosure for her. It all only costed $238.
The extra 400 Watts and Lower Frequency range will do very well.
what was wrong with the mtx?
it had good sq but it was just too wimpy for a lack of a better term, not enough oomph and its frequency response was rather poor.
Ill be getting my new sub and enclosure tomorrow though, I cant wait.
bummer, looks like it should pound decent but then again, cant judge a book by its cover... was the box ported? maybe that would have helped? would you consider selling?
it was in a sealed enclosure (as are my 15s) and my amp gave it all the watts it could handle so its excursion would peak, it only got somewhat satisfyingly loud when it was going full out. it made a valiant effort but didn't quite get it.
I cant wait to get home tonight and wire up the new guy.
Ahh so close. I got the enclosure and Sub and wired it right up only to find that I'm going to have to shave the sides of the opening a little bit to allow the sub to fit in the box properly, and since i dont have a dremel tool on hand ill be ghetto'ing it with something i find in walmart a midnight when i get back towards my end of town.
even with the sub sticking out almost an inch haha its very loud (though distorted because of this), I cant wait to have it set-up correctly and give it all it can handle.
Also i already sold the mtx for 60 bucks haha, i made 10 bucks and got to deal with an MTX. not bad all in all.
Here She Is, It took a while to dremel out the hole but it was a tight comfy fit for it.
This single 10 gets LOUD, i was in shock even after having been exposed to my two S15's, made me very proud haha.

thats looks damn nice! me want :tongue9:
If you ever make it to the phx area you should let me know so i can here it. I have two S12L5's and when I finally get a lanos I'd like to get a setup like yours and hopfully have it hit almost as good as my two L5s...or if I can find a good deal on one of kicker higher up subs (like the competition ones I think are next) then I'd go for that.Quote:

heres a new beautiful pic of how I have it situated.

its-so-beautiful-makes-me-want-to-cry :D lol jk, looks good!
thanks, I love the newest L7 series, Black on Black is gorgeous to me lol.
No they're sealed, didn't wanna mess with ported especially since it weights more and I take my subs out for track days (which can be monthly). But I build custom boxs for them with baltic birch. I'm pretty sure my amp over powers them big time but they seam to be lasting.Quote:
