Need Bass Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ok, so I decided that I want to move away from my 2 sony Xplod 12"s and get 1 15" instead. My friend, although usually harsh on equipment, says he has 3 MTX 9500 15"s that he bought new and said he might trade depending on my offer. I have so far offered him my 2 Sony Xplod 12"s in a prefab sealed box (I payed $50 for the 2 subs, $25 for the box): My Traxxas Slash hobby grade racing RC (payed $100 for it, if I sold it on ebay I could get $150): and fixing his iPhone 4's screen (it would cost $30 for a screen on ebay, my brother has the tools so he can do the screen replacement) So my question is, me being cheap and at the moment tight on money, should I trade my $330 worth of stuff for this $400 sub, or should I not take him up on the offer (assuming my trades are good enough)? I should mention that I'm ok with trading the subs and box, but the racing RC and the phone screen are pushing it for me. What do you guys think I should do? (I don't want this to turn into some kinda vs. thread, I don't want anyone comparing the MTX 9500 15 to my 2 Sony Xplod 12s) Thanks in advance guys!

kevgnar Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The mxt has a 4" VC and could be very loud. Very worth the trade imo the reason i mention the coil size, because you can BEAST a recone if needed down the road. On 2/27/2013 at 9:21 AM, Swordlordboy1234 said: Who needs electrical!

ChevyBoy95 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 hope your brother knows what entails with changing an iphone 4 screen. but other than that... i personally would try and save up and get something new since you said your friend is harsh on equipment.

Need Bass Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 hope your brother knows what entails with changing an iphone 4 screen. but other than that... i personally would try and save up and get something new since you said your friend is harsh on equipment. He's taken apart 4 iPod touch 4th gens already and fixed them in some way, and he bought tools specific to fixing apple devices off of ebay, he definately would be able to do it no problem As for him being hard on equipment, he said he just bought these MTXs new and intends to re-sell them. Since he has 3, and he owns a Mitsubishi eclipse I'm sure he hasn't used them because it would be very difficult to fit 3 15s in a car like that without a dedicated trunk build, and I've known him to make boxes around the same size as prefab ones, so I doubt he's used them Thanks for the concern though. Also, thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it, keep it coming My Build Log Heros get remembered, but legends never die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need Bass Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Also, these are the first subs we got from him along with a head unit and amp, safe to say they're barely alive now: this is what the close up is of, a volfenhag 10 if I'm not mistaken, he cut the basket to recoil the sub, then gorilla glued the sub back together... told you he was hard on equipment There's JB Weld on it too, put on it by us to re-enforce it. These are basically beater subs now But anyway, back to topic: to trade, or not to trade? That is the question! My Build Log Heros get remembered, but legends never die.

Zapanater Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's a no brainer, just the motor on the 9500 is worth more. Plus they're badass. Maybe not the loudest, but they hit VERY accurately, something I didn't expect form MTX. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.
