Posted July 20, 200718 yr I'll try to keep this short as possible. The other day I was browsing through the classsifieds over at ca.com. I stumbled upon an MX 12. So I said to myself that id like to try an MX, I heard great things about them, also they look sexy for my inverted install. So I offered to trade my 12" mag(current gen) for it. He said cool. i traded. I have had the mx now for about 3 weeks. I must say Im dissappointed The sound was kinda up there with the mag but it didnt have that certain "crisp" edge of sq that I liked in the mag. I could deal with that fine. But the absolute sh!ttiest part is. The DAM Mechanical Noise the MX puts out. Its ridiculous to hear that much noise coming from 1 sub. its dam loud especially since i have an inverted install, its to the point where it drowns the bass out if look right at the sub. luckily i have a trunk car and the seats filter that noise out. Also whats the deal with those terminals on the MX, on the mag it was the push terminals and I could use my bananna plugs with ease. So thats my rant just complaining how naive I was for trading gods gift to man for an gods give to women sub...a noisy one.So Keep your Mags! or trade my MX for it ~Megalo~
July 20, 200718 yr Yep, I sold my claw and my latest gen Mag and regretted it ever since. So last night I grabbed a newest gen mag off of ca.com. Never again will I be without a mag. Muwauhahaha
July 21, 200718 yr no, its clearly mechanical noise. it isn't a defect. I asked around.heard a couple of MX's and i heard no mechanical noise. maybe cuz of the invertendess.
July 21, 200718 yr Author no, its clearly mechanical noise. it isn't a defect. I asked around.heard a couple of MX's and i heard no mechanical noise. maybe cause of the invertendess.probably the invertness. Most people don't realise how much "noise" a sub can really produce.i am going to assume its because of the neo motor. it heats up and the way the sub was designed its using that free flowing cooling. cause the noise is mainly coming from the air moving in and out where the coil gap is.
July 22, 200718 yr maybe cuz of the invertendess.That's a great word...invertedness. Hind-sight is always 20/20, but good luck trying to snag a new Mag.
July 23, 200718 yr Admin maybe cuz of the invertendess.That's a great word...invertedness. Hind-sight is always 20/20, but good luck trying to snag a new Mag.I was just thinking that. It is funny the words that are made up for the audio world that don't exist, but we all know and understand exactly what they are.

July 30, 200718 yr Author or maybe go to CSO the official RE forum and ask about it i think jfab was suggesting that because Scott was the original one who designed the sub. but i dont care now, i will be replacing this mx with the new Mag
August 23, 200718 yr or maybe go to CSO the official RE forum and ask about it Ever since the sale the RE forum there has been decreasing in thread/post volume. hmm........
