Will they fit in the MTX Thunderforms? Is it best to go with a single channel or a four channel bridged amp.

 

Wrong forum dude!!

 

when it comes to subs you always want a box, "custom built" for the best sound. now assuming the mounting dimensions and depth are the same which i doubt they are, theyll fit. w6's are pretty deep.
as far as an amp for subs youll want a mono or single channel amp. when you bridge an amp youll tend to get a lot of distortion and it loads the amp alot more.

 

I agree with your first part about using a custom built box built to the woofers specs, especially when you are using a high quality sub like the JL Audio 10w6v2.

Where did you get the idea that a bridged amp puts out a lot of distortion? That is totally false. There are many quality amps that can be bridged and be as clean as if they were running unbridged. The biggest problem would be able to find an amp that would have enogh power to drive the JL sub on two bridged channels of a 4 channel amp. They are out there, but not very many will do it justice.

 

you buy a JL 500/1 amp, and you are set, to run one two, or even three of those 10w6v2's...

 

Ive seen a MTX Tform box with JLs, they werent the new W6s though, I believe the were last years. The cone looked diff.

 

when you bridge an amp like say a 4channel to a 2 channel, you add distortion. THD. thats a fact.

 

your wrong. the best answer though would be a mono class D amp since were talking about subs.

 

nobody asked you spankdog, and your wrong, and i already mentioned the mono amp.

 

If that were true, which it isn't necessarily true for all amps, you would have to look at what level the distortion would increase to. If it goes from .01% to .05%, would that even matter? No. As long as the distortion levels are below the hearing level it won't be a factor, especially in a subwoofer set up which runs at such a low crossover point anyway. There is a lot more to running a quality sound system than bridging or not bridging amps. The installation and the quality of components play a major role in how your system will sound. Many of the top SQ competitors run amps in a bridged mode.

 

I use to compete frequently in car audio, I can tell you that without a doubt, you will not find anyone in a Db drag running anything other than a mono class D subwoofer amp. Now as far as the distortion thing goes, anything under .1 is inaudible by the book. This is THD by the way, now if its over .1 and usually is when you bridge and amp like that, then you get more distortion.

 

we're talking about adding a ncie sound system to a truck so it becomes not just a muscle car but a nice cruiser as well.

Calling somebody a dumbass isn't the way to go about this, especially since this isn't pro audio competition we're talking about.

Can anyone answer his original question if the w6v2's fit in a thunderform?

 

I wonder if it's wise for eaton to use the picture that got me banned?

 

if you were banned how the hell did you get back on?

 

Me thinks you just like to argue just to pad your post count. Let's just say that we respectfully disagree with each other. Besides we are talking about a decent sounding car stereo setup, not some plexigalss, beefed up rebar framed DB Sound system.
