Introducing the newest addition to the MTX Thunder Woofer family, Thunder Square (TS). These subwoofers are serious. The Mad Scientists at MTX were dreaming up hundreds of designs before creating the loudest square subwoofer in the class. Mission accomplished! Thundersquare subwoofers are capable of delivering volume displacement unlike any other in their class. With 1.75" voice coils and up to 125 oz. magnets, they are like nothing you've ever heard!

The TS85 subwoofers have a cast aluminum basket for strength and durability as well as a black anodized aluminum cone with a laser etched MTX Audio gothic logo. Point blank - they sound as good as they look. They are perfect for any ride from rusted out Rivieras to bangin' Bentleys and they will be the envy of the neighborhood.

I just bought 2 of these to replace my 2 15" Alpine Type R. OMFG these 12's are the loudest i have ever heard. So much more bass then my Type Rs. i can't believe these subs they sound better then my friend RD Audio Super Heavyweight 18" his system cost him over $3500 and mine cost me under $800. I have my subs hooked up on a Alpine MRP-M2000 and a shuriken BT100 and all 4gauge wiring.

These subwoofer are sick right out the box. I have 2 12" being powered be MTX 91002 amp which is 1500 RMS. My box is nowhere close to specs and still they hit ((HARD)) I'm on my way to making a bigger box.
Last week i was at my local audio shop. The guy at the desk asked me if I had 2 15" hcca in my car now because before i had one 15" hcca. I told him i sold my hcca and I'm running 2 MTX TS85 he was shock. He said he herd me coming from 2 blocks away and thought i had upgraded my system to 2 15". MTX DON'T BE MEAN SHOW THEM HOW LOUD YOU CAN SCREAM.

WOW I went to a local car show in my city. This guy had 2 of these in his Volkswagen Golf. They sound so louder then my 2 12" RE Audio XXX. He had them hooked up to a Alpine MRP M2000. I asked him whats the RMS on each woofer. He said 750 and mtx under rated them. So i did not believe him. I'm running a Rockford Fosgate T2500 to my sub and they sound good but not as good as this guy.

I recently purchased this sub due to wanting to downsize from a 15'' sub and to save some space. The guy i got it from said 1 was enough for him and gave me a good deal. When i finally got this monster hooked up, i was blown away. So much SPL and SQL right out the box. I can only think of one thing wrong with this sub. The cone will dent very easily. Everything else is a positive. It's a killer!!!!!!
