MTX 5512-22 55 Series Subwoofer

The MTX Audio 55 Series subwoofers are the perfect solution for improving your car sound quality while taking up little space. Their low profile means they do not need a large enclosure and will still deliver powerful bass. How do they do this? With an improved surround compared to traditional Half-Roll surrounds, expanded surface area and reduced distortion due to progressive suspension controls. With over 40 years of audio experience, MTX Audio makes sure and knows how to create quality audio with their products, and the 55 Series is no exception!

MTX Inverted Apex Surround

The MTX Inverted Apex Surround increases the surface area of the sub to allow for more air movement, accurate bass reproduction and higher SPL. Traditional Half-Roll Surrounds have an inherent wrinkling when reproducing bass due to the physics of its motion, which causes distortion. The Inverted Apex Surround moves symmetrically through both positive and negative cycles which eliminates this type of distortion.



Progressive Suspension Control

Progressive Suspension control the excursion of the subwoofer at high power levels which reduces distortion. Eliminating this 3rd order distortion means you can play your music loud and rely on your subwoofer to take of itself.



Radial Ribbed T-Yoke

Two features really make sure the MTX subwoofers stay cool: the Spider Plateau Venting and the Radial Ribbed T-Yoke. The Spider Plateau Venting is a mechanical cooling process that targets cool air at the voice coil. This means the subwoofer cools itself as it is playing. The Radial Ribbed T-Yoke acts as a heat sink that dissipates heat and decreases distortion.

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!
