the meter numbers? i haven't metered it. i won't meter it. i have no interest in the SPL numbers - more interested in the frequency peaks/valleys and the imaging of the front stage for overall sound quality. (i'm more old school that way...) don't get me wrong... i'm sure it would 'meter' well. i mean, they're two resonant engineering 12" MX's with a solid supply of power!

(sipping beer...)

at one point i was even thinking about putting the subs in an acoustic suspension enclosure to maximize SQ - but didn't have the mono power from the M2 to feed em' what they'd need in that type of environment (less efficient enclosure). In the end, I went with the bass reflex enclosure for more efficiency, but again, didn't want em' pounding directly into my back/ears so up they went!

besides, i had *really* good results from my two mtx 10's in two decware deathbox's that had ports firing up (granted different enclosure, etc., etc...)...

(sipping more beer...)

the spl craze is sad to me. Just my view. There's more to music than trying to figure out how much money you can spend to loose your hearing in the shortest amount of time...

i dunno. i need another beer... ha!

(it's been a rough day).

I'm pretty new to this forum. I think its a great thing and im glad I found it. I am on here to make friends . that being said....

thats ok that you have no interest in spl. dont really care. like i said before just a question. as far as firing the subs up ive had more luck firing them back with a vented enclosure, in my vx. i seem to get cleaner, tighter, bass. of course after adding a few rolls of dynamat. (i know, different subs amps boxes etc)hence the question. anyways why mx's for sq and it seems that the dd amps are made for spl. 1% thd??

Im not hating on your system, its a fantastic install, with good componets. just conversation.

so have another beer and learn me some more.
