MTX

Vehicle-specific enclosures with subs? Say what?

Instead of the usual sub in a box, the manufacturer creates a molded enclosure that fits perfectly into a convenient spot in your specific vehicle, housing a high-quality sub. Some enclosures even include a built-in amp, for the ultimate in stealth bass. The advantages? You don't lose much space (if any), your sub is perfectly matched to its enclosure, and your enclosure has a factory look that won't tell potential thieves you have an awesome sound system. Doesn't get better than that.

Our take on the MTX Amplified ThunderForms

by John Pollard

Crinkled french fries, discarded receipts, old gum wrappers — you probably have everything in the hidden corners of your vehicle except great bass. But with custom Amplified ThunderForm enclosures, you can fill the nooks and crannies of your car, truck, or SUV with low tones that stand out.

MTX engineers evaluate the "sonic signatures" of top-selling vehicles so they can design ThunderForms as custom acoustic matches. With "rotational molding," MTX ensures that each ThunderForm fits and blends inconspicuously into your vehicle. They're made of high-density polyethylene resin to curb resonances and deliver bass that's tight, hard-hitting, and way down low. The enclosure is seamless and airtight, with the correct internal volume to yield optimum bass response from the subwoofers.

This molded MTX amplified ThunderForm comes loaded with two special-design 10" Terminator subwoofers, fired up by a powerful built-in amplifier (200 watts RMS). It mounts behind the seat of the 1997-03 Ford F-150 regular cab or 1997-2000 Ford F-250 regular cab truck, with no loss of leg room. Hardware is included.

Highlights:

  • custom-fit powered subwoofer
  • enclosure fits behind seat
  • two Terminator 10" subwoofers
  • built-in 200-watt RMS amplifier
  • high-density polyethylene enclosure
  • variable low-pass filter (50-150 Hz at 12 dB per octave)
  • preamp- and speaker-level inputs
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Vehicle-Specific Custom Enclosure: This MTX ThunderForm enclosure is specifically designed to fit select 1997-2003 Ford full size, standard cab pickups. Please refer to the Crutchfield Car Selector to confirm fit for your vehicle.

    Enclosure: The ThunderForm enclosure is made of molded high-density polyethylene resin, which dampens resonance and is rigid enough to resist flexing. It is an acoustic suspension (sealed) chamber.

    Mounting Location: This enclosure is designed and molded to mount behind the seat. It replaces the tool tray, if present. Note: The provided dimensions are taken at the widest points of the enclosure. Keep in mind that these enclosures are custom made to fit in this particular vehicle, so the enclosure will fit properly in only one specific location.

    10" Terminator Subwoofers: This enclosure comes loaded with two 10" MTX Terminator subwoofers. The woofers have an unusual impedance, specifically designed for the built-in amp, and cannot be replaced with standard MTX models.

    Class D Amplifier: The enclosure contains a built-in 200-watt Class D (digital) amplifier that allows RCA or speaker-level input. The amplifier is highly efficient and designed specifically for use with the subwoofers in the enclosure.

    Electronic Bass Control (EBC): The EBC is a wired remote and allows you to adjust the bass level from anywhere in the vehicle. Installing the EBC is optional.

    Low-pass Crossover: The low-pass crossover point is adjustable from 50 to 150 Hz for a seamless transition between the output of this unit and that of the other speakers in the vehicle.

    Controls:

    • Gain Control: rotary control; set the gain of the amplifier is match the input
    • Crossover Control: rotary control; adjust the crossover from 50 to 150 Hz

    Auto Turn-On Feature: When speaker level inputs are used, the system will automatically turn on and off with the radio.

    Note: The auto turn-on feature does not operate when preamp level inputs are used, connecting the remote turn-on lead is required.

    Tools Required: The manual provides this list of required tools:

    • Powered Screwdriver
    • #2 Phillips Head Bit
    • Ratchet
    • 8mm Socket

    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.
