dmz2711 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I was thinkin of getting a re MT, but i have heard that people have been having problems with over heating, due to the fact that the backplate isn't vented. Have any of you had any overheating issues with the mt's? i know since the sale of re to us amps, the prices have gone sky high. anyone recommend a dealer or have any hookups with some decent prices? i was lookin into an 18 or 15? ???

Ray Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 i have some 18's.... 800 each shipped brand new dual 2 ohm they arent designed for daily use. If you use them for daily expect to have issues, cant blame the woofer, it does what it was designed for very well.

David Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 yep, they do get hot when you Hammer on them for a decent amount of time with good power. basicly from what I have been told soon as you smell them, you turn it down or off for a little bit to let them cool down. They are expensive, I will be purchasing some of these baddboys as soon as the season is over, for my rebuild for next season. Call Sound-Solutionz.

dmz2711 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 thanks for the replies... i would be using it daily, but how does meade, as well as others get away with it as a daily system? I know that people also say that they are not musical, but from seeing meades system as well as others at shows, they seem to be more than able to play musically.. what's the deal with the spiders, some people have triple or quad thick, what's the difference ???

David Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 basicly like I said in my other post, Soon as you smell the coils getting hot you shut the system down long enough to cool off. Spiders, spiders are part of the suspension, the more spiders you have the stiffer the suspension of the driver. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz2711 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 lol... i think that is funny, smelling them and then turning them down. anyway, what is the benefit of having stiffer spiders? any other subs that you know of that could match the output of an MT, but is not affected by overheating? preferably and 18" of some sort.. maybe solo x, apx, etc....

Ernesto Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 This is new to me...Never heard of MTs having this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 when you compete and your serious about it, you will blow subs and other equipment for that matter, no matter what the brand. On the daily, with a hard beating on 8 amps.......one modded bd1500.1 on each coil (.7ohms) they really slam. I can go all day up to a certain volume level. If i go too far up the volume i have been known to get them hot and yes, back off a notch if you smell them........just like ANY sub. Its been a long time since ive had any trouble with my subs though and believe me i beat the hell out of my shit every single day at one point or another. You do have to be carefull just like with any sub but i dont think its as bad as some people might say. When it comes to being musical, again, just like any other sub or even SYSTEM configuration...your gonna have your songs that dont sound right and others that are out of control loud and CLEAN sounding. Everytime ive ever redone my system or retuned a box, the lineup of stuff that sounds good changes so its no big deal. I love the way my MT's sound. To answer the spider question, i have triple spiders on mine, i imagine the extra spiders keep the sub from launching the sub out of the basket from all the power they can take....

Ernesto Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 At 2,000rms these subs could go all day correct? What about 2,500rms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
