CJSmith Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 This isn't a vs thread. I've been looking around and found a set of RE MT 18's that are blown for $350 for the pair. The MT's and Mayhem's look identical cosmetically. My question is, I have 2 Mayhem 18's. Can I buy the MT's and recone them with Mayhem recones and run them together? Thanks for the help. *Rebuid in progress*
kalilac619 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 The RE MTs are more of a SPL sub where the Mayhems are More of a daily ground pounding sub.RE MT and Mayhem motors are VERY similar same size even BUT the MT has a tighter voice coil gap and mayhems runs a wider gap plus mayhem has cooling etc...think older Fi BTL fully loaded Triple stack motor ..i wouldn't do it.. 2000 Suburban 6 runs of 2/0 12 JBL Pro audo mids ,6 timpano audio tweets and 1 Prv compression horn per door 475ah of yin long LTOs Triple 370 Amp Autotech Alts mids amps 2 Crescendo Skyway 3ks compreesion horn amp crossfire 800.4 Tweet amp Crossfire 2000.4 sub amp: 4 Crossfire XT 8ks Subs: 8 18 in Crossfires in a 4th order Best Scores at events… 163.5@38hz DBdrag sealed on the dash… 164.3 outlaw…162.9 Meca headrest

I appreciate it, thanks for the help. Like I said, they looked very similar so I just didn't know if it was possible. *Rebuid in progress*
mr505 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 I think re Mt's have a 4 inch voice coil right or wrong and the mayhems have 3 inch coil
n8ball2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 not possible the MT was never designed to play music. it was just found that they did it and sound pretty good. they have a very tight gap.

The old BTL is commonly known as the 'UFO' version due to it's flying saucer looking single mag... I can also confirm that they are both 3" and that they (MT) were designed to be an SPL sub but was later found that they play music with some serious authority. The motors visually at least are identical. Neither has a pole piece either... I have an MT motor right here, if someone has a Mayhem motor, will you take some measurements?

No, the old version was a triple stack like the MT. It got replaced with the UFO style motor No pole piece? Is that even possible in a sub? Lol Unless I'm thinking about something else Team Flex Issues

CortezDTV Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 Pole vent and pole piece are totally different Thank u for clarifying; I knew something was off SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/
