The "all-new" Same Old "jackhammer"...


Recommended Posts

OK-

So this guy comes in my shop, after hearing my car from far away and claims to have a lincoln w/ (I forget cuz I was biting my tongue as hard as I could) either 4-15's or 6-15's in his lincoln (4 in trunk and more in back seat i guess) AND "8-L715's in his tahoe off 8000watts and I garauntee nothing on earth is louder!.....

OK, OK MAYBE....BUT!...

He says "they're Jackhammers" in the lincoln.

I was like WTF? No f*ckin way-(in my head i say this-otherwise i'm playing along)

1: Real Jackhammers only come in 22''

2: the wieght of that many/that type of sub would make it an automatic 100% drop in rear

3: He's a broke-ass, no-cash havin trashbag

4: He said he had 24's on it and This guy I (me not him) know could "vouche" for it all.

I ran into my buddy that "could vouche" the same night after work:

1: Guys fulla sh*t-He has a lincoln, w/ like a buncha 15's maybe 4-6-8 sumpin like that, but it sounds terrible, poorly designed and based on what my buddy said "not as loud as my car" which he (my buddy) hears quite often, AND he only has 20's.

2: I checked MTX's sight: they are actually raping the amount of publicity they got off the pimp my ride episode and re-labeling the MX line of "entry level" subs as "the new jackhammer line"(they dont say that but you make the comparison)

3: why? GREEDY FEHGS. They have so much publicity and "interest" generated by that damn ghey install w/ the one jackhammer (great investment i guess you gheys) that they figure they can slap the "jackhammer name/logo" on the otherwise sub-par MX series "superwoofers" and sell em to everyone and their momma.

4: they're SADLY, TERRIBLY, FRIGHTENINGLY, PROLLY RIGHT!

5: So just prepare urself for what I foresee to be an EXTREME influx of NO-NOTHING douchebags going around goin "you know that superwoofer on pimp my ride called the sledgehammer/Pimp-hammer/jack-off-hammer? Yea, I got 10 of em in my civic!"

Here's the news break from MTX just so you know-BUT-if you loko at the pics f the 10's 12's and 15" "jackhammer subs" they look frighteningly similar to the older MX series.

http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/news/newsTemplate.cfm?ID=1632

"...10", 12", and 15" models weigh in at around 50 lbs each and are capable of handling between 500 to 600 watts RMS. Their die cast aluminum frame, solid steel pole piece, aluminum voice coil, aluminum shorting ring, and 7 lb magnet allow these woofers to deliver the enormous bass the JackHammer name is known for."

Seriously?

Someone please show me i'm wrong on this...but i fear I'm correct.

Thank you.

These DO NOT look promising. They look like the MX line (lower level stuff they had to put the name "superwoofers" on to sell em at all).

I REALLY hope the guy talkin all that crap comes in w/ his lincoln or his supposed Tahoe w/ the 8-L7 15's. I'd prolly PWN him w/ his ghetto ass setup from Fair Jokes car audio and I'd just call Steve up if it really was true and he had any decent sh*t...but my buddy said it's TERRIBLE.

hahahhaha.

nice rant :lol: I gotta admit that MTX is pretty smart though. They're gonna ride the jackhammer name right into the dirt and make a ton of $$$$$ doing it.

I for one, guarantee that I won't be owning any pimphammers though.

Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!
