What the people are saying: (edited for length and grammar)

"I enjoyed the subs (MTX Thunder6000s). At the price I got the woofers, I would definitely buy them again. I had a custom enclosure for the four 10" woofers and they fit nicely and sound great in my 2003 Civic." as posted by Derrick P.

"I lost an important piece to my amp and contacted MTX not knowing what to expect...I received an email reply within two business days saying that the item could be shipped to me free of charge! It was not a very big deal, but it saved me a lot of money whether it was buying a new amp or purchasing a new part! This surprised me and from now on I will only buy MTX products! Thanks so much!" as posted by William R.

"I am amazed! I have one Thunder9500 12 inch powered by a Thunder1501D amp. It is installed in my 1999 Eclipse. There is no word to describe how my car sounds. All my neighbors try to compete with me and they all get left behind. I have seen the best Alpine subs, Fosgate, Kicker, Infinity, Pioneer. Even the famous JL W7. None of these subs come close to the Thunder9500. Great job guys, You have a loyal customer and, most importantly, a dedicated fan. Keep Bringing the Thunder!!!!!!" as posted by Jesus R.

"I'm very satisfied with your subs (Thunder 8000 series). They sound excellent and handle everything I've thrown at them!" as posted by Brian B.

"The best amplifier in the world (TA564)!" as posted by Mariano S.

"I am very impressed with the handling of these subs and will recommend them to others (T4510-04)." as posted by Graeme G.

"MTX is my new favorite brand! Wonderful, crisp, clean sound from twin 12 inch RT12 subwoofers and the amp RT202! Thanks a million!" as posted by Darren M.

"MTX is the best out there and I will never buy any subs or amps other than MTX!" as posted by Juan P.

"This 10 inches of raw THUMP is a handsome addition to my "middle-aged male crisis vehicle." The young ladies now view me as much more of an "Old Perv" than before. MTX, my wife and I can't thank you enough. Your product makes the others look limp. Best wishes to all at MTX in 2005!" as posted by Paul W.

"I love MTX Audio products. I would never put any other brand sub in my ride!" as posted by Jeremy T.
