I talked to Circuit City before ordering my new MTX-6000's from Crutchfield. They only carry the 6000's in
a 4-ohm. My amp is only capable of handling a bridged load at 4 ohms, therefore I had to get the 8-ohm versions.
Keep that in mind...The Thunderform is "bridged". Make sure your amp can handle the load.

That's why I have learned to buy stereo equipment from in-town venders.

I have been very lucky with my stereo setups, because all the stuff I've
bought have been warrantied.

Yes. I blew 4-12" PPI subs and a 250.2 RF power amp with less than 5 hours
of total play time. Shouldn't have thumped it so hard, but better than
smoking it up at a sound competition....

Since then, the current 2-12" audiobahns with an opti 2500 has hit 136.7 dB
@ around 33 hz. I should tune my box smaller to hit those upper
frequencies, but I like it low where you can FEEL it...

enough of my rambling. the t-5000 (now discontinued) and the t-6000 subs
are excellent for the money. and if I'm not mistaken, Circuit city
sometimes has buy 1 get 1 free for that model...

NOW.. do it for the 8000s and I'm sold on about 4 sets of 12s. hehe

When the sub blew it changed the impedance load
on the
speaker and therefore damaged the sub output on my amp. (Sound familiar
Dester...?)
After having the amp fixed I now have a set of MTX-6000. The major
difference
is it
has a dual voice coil verses a single voice coil. (resulting in more
continuous
power).
