Good value for the price

Michael from Louisville, KY on 3/12/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I rewired the speaker with and extra terminal port so I could drive each speaker separately at 4 OHM since I have stereo out of my double din and the sub and a Planet Audio 1000 came with the car. The Planet audio amp will deliver 350/channel at 4 ohms - and you do not need to drive them this hard. Not an AMP I would have bought, but configured like it works great. I like bass, and loud bass if that is the way it's mixed but on a lot of songs it just gives fill to what my 4x 6.5 Kappa II won't do < 40-45 hz. It's a single enclosure and two channel stereo into a single cabinet only bought me that I had an AMP on the shelf I had on hand I could deliver more power to subs cleanly. I would not drive these with more than 500-700 watts RMS <%1 THD - they will fold on you. Good boom for your buck. They won't go supper low my pair of B460's in my home stereo - but if you don't overdrive them they will punch, kick, and fill out things. For the price they are hard to beat. Please take the time to setup your crossovers in your radio with the equalizer set flat and no loudness or boost. Biggest mistake about not getting "good" sound over a lot of genres of music. And if your a adventurer google "R.E.W" - hard to learn, you must buy a flat microphone $120 but if you ears don't hear this will help you get the best sound of the components you have to work with.

Pros: Nicely priced and have a great $$$ value for what you get.

Cons: Make sure you have an amp that can drive 2 OHMS

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this set of 12s a few months back. If you're on a budget these subwoofers are awesome and won't disappoint. They sound great. Nice deep clean bass that hits the lows that I need and keeps the mirrors shaking without distortion. Don't run 1000 rms to them! I'm using a 1000 watt Amp that is not even half up no bass boost and it still bangs when turned up. It's all about your setup and tuning. They are a great starter subwoofer till you're ready to go bigger. Definitely worth the price. I would buy again if I had to.

Pros: Sound good when tuned correctly. Definitely worth the price deep bass, hits hard when turned up. 2ohms Definitely require less power from your Amp and at 600w rms they sound great.

Cons: Not able to handle the power stated in the information. I have a 1000 watt that I can't turn more than halfway up without any boost on without the subs distortion. When set to high I almost hear a popping sound.

I have these hooked up to a skar audio rp-800 amp, and this thing hits. Can feel it in my chest and shakes everything inside the car. Only have had them running for ant a week now and still breaking them I'm but defiantly the best bang for your buck I think.

Pros: Budget friendly and loud.

Cons: You get what you pay for. Idk if I'd push the 2000 watts it claims but I'm happy with it and will be curious to see if they last.

I used an mtx 500 watt amp, and it had some decent kick, good for the price. When I switched over to a fosgate prime 750w mono amp, wow it takes the power and sounds great. Whether you want decent bass, or a lot of bass, I recommend this box.

Pros: They can handle the bass.

Great enclosure for price , nice bass output but would be even better with front port versus the side port. As always crutchfield did an amazing job with shipping packaging and having a website to navigate . I would say they are definitely worth the money

Pros: Loud , affordable , clear, looks great

Cons: Side port may trap sir depending on your installation

1000 Watts RMS Will Burn These Up

Greg from Louisville, KY on 8/10/2021

2020 Kia Forte

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The 1000 watt RMS power rating cannot be correct. I cannot find specs on the individual subwoofer (labeled on the magnet as TNE212DV), which should have been a red flag to begin with. The subwoofer you can find on MTX website that looks like the subs in this box and are rated at 200 watts RMS, which is probably more accurate. I paired this box with a 1000 watt RMS @ 2 ohm amp (Kenwood KAC-9106D) and blew it within 8 weeks. I have a LC2i Pro in front of my amp to clean up the signal and I conservatively set gains using a multimeter. No reason this setup should have burned those subs up if they are actually rated @ 1000 watts RMS. Not Crutchfield's fault.

Pros: Decent bass while it lasts. Inexpensive.

Cons: 1000 watts RMS will kill these speakers. Build quality is mediocre. Overstated or totally hidden specs.

Not Too much Power

Justin from Sacramento on 7/4/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

It's okay. Doesn't have a lot of power even though it is rated 1000 RMS. I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want more power. However, if you are on a budget and you want a little boom. This is perfect for you.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not a lot of power or bass.

Nice clean bass, not sure if they really need a power rating of 1000 rms/2000 watt peak. I have a 2000 watt Planet Audio pulse on MTX TNE212DV subs and they get hot quick at high volume, when I can hook one 12 inch American Bass TNT sub up by itself with just a 1200 watt peak and it preformed fine.

Pros: Very clean bass

Cons: Not sure if they have the power handling capability they claim to have

Left me wanting for more

Jeremy from Vineland, NJ on 6/18/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

So I made the mistake of going the cheap route and figured I'd give these a try. Well the old saying holds true that you get what you pay for... They sounded okay at first but they just left me wanting for more. Went back to the shop and was told to get subs with a better brand recognition instead. My advice; If you are looking for subs that hit hard, these are not going to satisfy you. Be patient, save up your money, and get the proper equipment. If you are just looking to add decent bass in a smaller car these might do the trick.

Pros: Enclosure will fit in most trunks. Decent bass for smaller vehicles. Cheap.

Cons: Better off spending the money on a more reliable brand name. Will not last very long. Port is located on back of enclosure on one side.

Excellent Product

Crutchfield customer from Windsor, CT on 8/29/2019

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Excellent sub! Took 3 days to break in, before the deep thunderous bass came in. Was mostly hard hitting at first. The speakers are two svc 4 ohms 500 watt rms ones. Box is well built, it fits perfectly and sounds awesome in my 2017 toyota highlander. Powered by the Pioneer GM-9705!

Pros: Perfect for 3 row SUV trunk, easy push pin connector, 2ohm ready, value exceeds price by far, sounds wayy too good to be this cheap, makes potential buyers think the specs are inaccurate.

Cons: Single compartment with one side port, so bass is come from one side only. Center port or dual side ports give more of a surround feel, esp in SUV or Hatchback. Took a few days to break in, was very loud at first but no deep bass, eventually that rumbling thunder i know MTX for started kicking in.

THIS! Not to take anything away from the 8" kicker comp sub in my rear deck which sounds very good when the amp that powers it is properly tuned. It can really move some air! But I wanted heavier bass which was a tall order for only 1 8" sub. I chose this over some other brands because of the box's dimensions, and that they are 2ohm. The amp that powers them is only 250w @ 2ohms but they hit hard!

Pros: Sounds good playing rock, rap, and reggae! The sound and build quality is very good! For the performance and value I cannot be happier!

Cons: Not 1!

I bought these dual 12" subs for the back of my 2001 Dodge Durango, and let me tell you, I will always love the mtx pound. When paired with the Kenwood 9106-D 1000 watt rms amp, they are matched perfectly and will rock every bone in your body. I used 4 gage wire and had a pretty easy time hooking the subs to the amp. Absolutely no complaints. Love the way these things sound, as well as their quality. I will always be an mtx costumer
