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!
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 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.
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.

Good sub for some vehicles where depth is an issue
First off let me start by saying this is a great sounding sub. If you read no more of this review, just know that it is a great bang for the buck woofer. I have this mounted in a custom made box under the seat of my 2014 F150 super crew (down-firing). This is not a shallow mount sub, but it can still be used in similar applications where space is an issue. Yes, it's a tight fit, but the payoff is worth it. Too many shallow mount subs have low sensitivity specs and limited power handling, so their performance is limited, relatively speaking. I am powering this with the subchannel from a JL Audio RD900 (Great budget 5 channel amp, by the way...), so it's seeing about 500W RMS. The custom box has an Earthquake Slaps 10 " passive radiator. Wish they still made these - they're even tune-able. Good high-quality passives can give you similar performance, in output, to a ported box without the tuning frequency boomy-ness or port noise, plus the low-end roll-off is much more gradual. I haven't miked it, but it has usable output down to 20Hz in-car. This little 10 hits like a 12! If you're on the fence about this sub, don't be. I listen to everything from rock to country, to old school rap. This sub sounds great with everything. I have the bass knob for my amp, so I can turn it down, depending on the source material. It will actually overpower the mids and highs, at 75W x 4, at times! Great sub!
