Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Dual 2-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 2-ohm
voice coils, offering wiring flexibility. When the voice coils are wired in
parallel the woofer presents a 1-ohm load. When the voice coils are wired in
series the woofer presents a 4-ohm load.
NBR Surrounds: The surrounds are made of NBR (Nitrile
Butadiene Rubber). The surrounds are stitched to the cones, providing added
strength and durability under high SPL. NBR has the added benefit of being
resistant to ozone and UV rays for extreme durability.
Voice Coil: Designed for high power handling and large linear
excursion, the woofer's dual 2.4" diameter voice coils are rated to 428° to
handle the harshest playback conditions.
Terminals: The woofer features two pair of heavy-duty chrome
spring post terminals which can accept single or dual banana plugs, pin connectors,
or bare wire up to 10-gauge.
Spider Plateau Venting: Heat from the voice coil is vented
through metal-mesh covered vents that surround the back of the spider. As the
woofer travels back and forth, cool air is pulled in and heated air is pushed
out.
Asymmetrical Linear Drive System (ALDS): The Asymmetrical
Linear Drive System consists of a flat, progressive spider that improves
suspension and an extended pole piece that smoothes out the cone's linear
motion. The result is high output and low distortion.
Die Cast Aluminum Frame: This woofer has a die cast aluminum
frame, designed to support the huge magnet structure and prevent buckling.
Enclosure Compatibility
Sealed Box: For the best possible sound quality where space
is a premium MTX recommends a sealed enclosure with an internal volume of 0.75
ft³. Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot
of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all
types of music.
Vented Box: The recommended vented box has a net internal
volume of 1.45 ft³ with a slotted port 12" x 2" x 20-3/4". Vented
(or ported) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed
so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output
from less power.
Warranty
5 Year Warranty Terms: This product carries a 5-Year Prorated
Warranty with the following terms:
- Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials
or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option,
repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not
renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase.
- Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes
defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty
period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX
product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original
purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then
multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty
period.
