MTX Jackhammer! Don't they know when to draw the line?

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

I was watching "Pimp My Ride" and they installed a MTX Jackhammer, the biggest sub i have ever seen go into a car. They installed it where the back seats usually are facing towards the trunk and used the entire inside of the car as the box. Here is the picture and the specs on this massive ass thing!

haha. i saw that last night - it was effin hilarious. they had to load it in the car with a forklift and engine jack.

Yea i know, 325lbs, could you imagine trying to fit that damn thing in our trunks, i would have to go back to stock springs in the rear and keep the drop in the front to maintain the even drop.

amhtown01 · 08-08-2005

i weighed my box, and it weighed in at 127lbs.

amhtown01 · 08-08-2005

but that jack hammer is a big ass sub though lol

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

Lol, that thing only holds 10,000 watts though, the Kicker Solo X 18" can do that too and weighs alot less and is not as big.

soonercivic · 08-08-2005

its a nolvelty item. i cant imagine the sound is good at all. probably loud as hell though.

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

I don't know, West Coast Customs does some nice things to cars, but Pimp my ride is getting gay to me, the sub was only hitting 100 db's, thats weak for a sub like that.

soonercivic · 08-08-2005

because if they let it hit what it could, the car would explode. talk about a lawsuit.

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

lol, did you hear there voice though? You could barely hear them.

soonercivic · 08-08-2005

its just for show. its for the people with 28in spinners on their 88 monte carlo to say "i got a sub thats bigger than your rims beyotch!" and so their car will buzz and rattle at stop lights so loud that you cant hear the music in your own car. i dont think our cars can pull it up a hill though. i want one. lol jk

my05civic24 · 08-08-2005

That show was ridiculous last night. I would have told west coast customs after the show, take that sh-t out.. I dont want that

IDQcivic · 08-08-2005

yeah 100 dbs is nothing, my car hits 130+ with only 2 12's... I still couldnt believe the size of that thing.. It would be like having a really fat person in the car all the time, imagine what it does to your miles per gallon.... I guess if I had a hummer maybe I would though a couple jackhammers in there...

C2i0v0i1C · 08-08-2005

i think clarion back in the day made a 32 inch sub, can u imagine the air space that thing needs to even move

Al Gore FTW · 08-08-2005

thats effing ridiculous

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

My Gawd, that would need a SUV size box to accomidate it.

yep they did, and a few other companies make super subs too.

They actually did this in the Pimp My Ride subject's car? oww that sems like a lot to put into the car of an idiot... got pics? What was the car maybe I'll look it up and download the episode or something, I wanna see it for my self

KnocturnalEM2 · 08-08-2005

ya it was a bit much IMO...I did not know they existed! I can remember back in the day a kicker in the back of a CRX that was huge...this is just rediculous!!

drew22mader · 08-08-2005

Yea i know, its getting out of hand now! What next? a 40" sub?

04|5spdCivic · 08-08-2005

no no no. the sub cone itself wasnt even that big. but the magnet and all that was rediculous. it was huge! the worst thing about it was they called this buick they put it in a hot rod! hahaha. yeah, it was running at like 96 db's. haha. the best thing about itwas that they had 5 750 watt amps! they had so so so much power going to those 3 subs. there was also 2 more of what looked like 12's.

civic01vtec · 08-08-2005

Damn, i used to have a (1) RFL and i thought that thing was sick.....this thing takes the cake.

slowcivic2die4 · 08-08-2005

I hit 147 db in my old prelude with 2 12 inch mtxs. Theres no way thay had that thing even half way up!!

Audiobahn i believe made one too. I think they stopped making it though. It was the size of a freakin hot tub!

MegaHurtz · 08-08-2005

100db is nothing

stock system can go up to 120 db on a velocity mic

what car was this in???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

jameslinkinpark · 08-08-2005

So they took out the rear seats for this right? Imagine if the owner of that car had passengers in the back? When he calls a tow truck he'll explain "My big ass sub and friends killed my rear suspension.....but yo, that shit is bangin!"

04|5spdCivic · 08-08-2005

it was in a buick. a century i think.

MegaHurtz · 08-08-2005

was it just a new episode

claudeboi · 08-09-2005

i don't think they want to go higher than 100 db or so cuz you might go def...definitely it has more potential than wat mtv showed.

MegaHurtz · 08-09-2005
