Greetings everyone,
I spent the weekend drunk building a box, paradise. I made it out of some spare particle board and plexi glass for 2 lonesome MTX Thunder 6000's 10"s. The box is sealed fairly well, gorilla glued+silicone and hot glued inside and out. The subs are 4ohm, dual voice. I got them from a brother in law, they're older and somewhat scruffed but not torn. 1 seems to make a tick the other doesn't.
I hooked them up in the custom box (see pics below) to a Bazooka Bazooka EL 1500 Mono amp. Which I believe is about 500w @ 2 ohms. Probably x1, idk but its my most powerful amp. The MTX's were flexin, they seemed maxed at 30 volume on my headunit. The bass was very disappointing. I was disgusted after the build I expected my efforts to be worth while. I've heard better from a single 6" mid. I checked pos/neg seemed correct but there no indicators besides a single red mark on 2 voice connectors per sub. Which I take as positive. I have them hooked up +/- going from voice connector to the other (On the sub). If I disconnect 1 sub, use it kinda like a pass radiator. The bass does get deeper but its not satisfying.
I have a Sony XS-L100P5W 1000w Xplod 10" Single coil 4 ohm (Red)in a old Kicker box. Sounds 5x better than the MTXs. Maybe its in a bad enclosure?

Theoretically, you can't polish shit (You can). But its strange how bad these MTX's sound I've never had them in a box before this. I'm not relying on these subs either so if worse comes to worse I'll just blow'em up XD
