MTX's new super-subwoofer

Have you ever noticed that the people who go to the extreme of customizing their $100,000 cars with the biggest and most blinged out wheels, custom alligator skin interiors, and even steering wheels encrusted with diamonds always seem to have the same 12” woofers as the 16 year-old kid down the street? For these people, the word “excess” doesn't cross their minds when it comes to customizing their car. So, MTX has crafted an all new, 22" SuperWoofer for anyone who's got what it takes to go to the extreme—the MTX Audio JackHammer T9922.

JackHammer is the most enormous, mind-blowing subwoofer ever created. You will literally not believe it until you see it. Standing in at 23” tall, 320 pounds, and with 10,000 watt peak music power handling, you will be hard-pressed to find something that will get in the ring with this heavyweight.

• Carbon fiber and glass fiber dust cap with aluminum honeycomb center
• Expanded polypropylene cone with mica filler for reduced mass and increased stiffness
• FEA designed progressive roll spider with 10 AWG integrated tinsel leads woven in to allow for 2.5” of linear cone movement one way
• 900 ounce strontium ferrite magnet with extended magnetic field gap technology and aluminum shorting ring
• 6.5” voice coil with a flat wound, long-excursion design incorporating 2.5” of x-max and 17 AWG high temperature aluminum wire
• Aluminum heatsink to maintain the optimum voice-coil temperature
• 6,000 RMS, 12,000 peak music power

The JackHammer SuperWoofer represents excess in every way and this enormous subwoofer lives for high SPL and window shattering bass. But, the T9922 is designed for sonic quality, and high SPL, what we call SQL. JackHammers are shipped in either the SPL mode, with dual 2Ω voice coils, or as the SQL model with dual 4Ω voice coils. A replaceable cone assembly is also available, for switching between "every day" listening (SQL), and competition (SPL).

as time progresses we'll see how that thing does.

Something tells me...

expensive paperweight.

I have a strange feeling that this will be like the MTX RFL that they built a few years back.

not my first choice for a SQ sub hehe

good god, wonder what the mounting depth on that sucker is, bet you could barely fit it in a car trunk

nm just found it, 23" tall....

ok so a couple inches for breathing...25" mounting depth....wow. I bet that would put some strain on a 3/4" sheet of MDF if mounted horizontally

Just because you have 6kw on tap doesnt mean you use it while cruising around.

And you wanna talk about some sick headroom.. hehe :excited:

car trunk - lol no chance you could EVER fit it in a decent size box (in scale) in a trunk.

hell, i doubt you could fit it in its shipping crate... lol

And yea... with THIS much weight your well beyond the holding power of 3/4" MDF... all the weight is at the end of the sub and its extremely deep, puts yet more pressure on the bottom screws.

ya i think its pretty much a big over priced joke, something to grab peoples attetion

lol, there are nooo skeptics on this forum :)

You can tell I own a minivan; the ability to fit it in a vehicle and box size don't seem to cross my mind . I never considered box size until the other day when I tried to put my Brahma's box in my friend's Jetta. (it made it as far as the back seat lol)

I can think of a certain amp that would pair up nicely with this sub :) . But I wonder, why 6k?
