Description

5512-22

The 55 Series, MTX's best selling subwoofer family, is a perfect mix of performance and value for enthusiasts that want to add extreme bass to their system without breaking the bank. MTX have squeezed an oversized cone into the standard 10", 12" and 15" frames, so the sub moves more air and gives you more bass. The woofer's movement cools the sub as it plays, so it doesn't overheat when you're rocking out. The special suspension exerts extra control when you're pushing the sub hard.

This subwoofer features the MTX Inverted Apex Surround. This is a departure from a traditional half roll surround. The Inverted Apex is narrower thereby increasing the surface diameter of the subwoofer cone enabling it to displace more air and generate higher SPL. The 55's are designed with a progressive suspension that lowers distortion resulting in improved sound quality even at high volume.

This subwoofer also incorporates Spider Plateau Venting which is a mechanical cooling process that targets cool air at the voice coil and a radial ribbed t-yoke that acts as a heat sink effectively managing the subwoofer temperature for long term rocking performance.

Great Sub

This is a great little subwoofer for the price. I say little, but it isn't. This 12, in a ground shaker box in my 2012 Kia Rio hits hard. Well worth it, and easy to set up. Would recommend.

Didn't work out

I bought this because I had mtx subs before that lasted a while. I really liked the look of these when they came out with the red stitching. I wired this to a 1 ohm load and ran it to a Fosgate 5001bd amp in a single ported box. This sub didn't last one day before it smelled like it was burning up. I sent it back and Sonicelectronix issued me a refund. I replaced it with a Massive Kilo. That thing rocks!

Love these subs.

The following review is for a previous version (TR5512-04).

I hand built a home stereo and decided to go with the best of the best and which inevitably lead me to MTX. I installed two of these subs with two BASH 300W amps and have had no complaints except for my brother telling me he swears the house is going to fall down. I would recommend these subs to anyone.

HOLY MOLY!!

The following review is for a previous version (TR5512-04).

I do reccommend this product to anyone who has an MTX AMP! I HAVE TWO MTX 12" 55 SERIES THUNDER AND THEY HIT SO HARD!! and they HAVE been hitting hard for over a year now.. i suggest you get a 400 watt mtx amp it hits perfect..my other set blew out like two years after getting them, so i got a new set!! .have a good one.

Great Sub

The following review is for a previous version (TR5512-04).

I have two of these in a ported box and they pound. I have them running at 500watts total and I would put them up against any 12 inch sub near this price and it would be unmatched.

very nice for the money

The following review is for a previous version (TR5512-04).

i got this subwoofer for a pretty good price and it hits hard and sounds really clean. In my opinion tho it doesnt produce the same sound quality as a Kicker or JL Audio but it is stil really nice and loud. i recomend it to anyone who is on a budget but still wants something nice. Be careful not to blow them tho because I had one on a JH300 MTX Audio amp and blew it in just one day ha. just go low on the bass boost.

GOOD BUY

The following review is for a previous version (TR5512-04).

Great speakers I recommend getting 2ohms and not 4ohms I had for almost a year until I blew them! My amp was too big.
