Frequently Asked Questions - X3-17-THUNDER8 MTX Audio

How do I break in my MTX X3-17-THUNDER8 subwoofer?

To break in the subwoofer, play music at moderate volume (below 50% power) for 10-15 hours. This allows the suspension to loosen and improves sound quality.

What type of enclosure is best for this subwoofer?

This subwoofer works well in both sealed and ported enclosures. For tight bass, use sealed; for louder output, use ported tuned to 35 Hz.

Can I use this subwoofer with a factory radio?

Yes, but you will need an amplifier because factory radios lack power. Use a line output converter to connect the speaker-level signal.

What is the impedance of the X3-17-THUNDER8?

The subwoofer has a 4 ohm impedance, making it compatible with most car audio amplifiers in stereo or bridged modes.

How should I clean the subwoofer?

Use a soft dry cloth to gently wipe the cone and surround. Avoid water or chemical cleaners that can damage the materials.

What is the warranty period?

MTX Audio typically offers a 1-year warranty against defects. Check your receipt or contact MTX for details.

What amplifier power do I need?

An amplifier delivering 100-300 Watts RMS at 4 ohms is ideal. Too much power can damage the sub, too little may not drive it properly.

How do I connect the subwoofer to an amplifier?

Connect the amplifier's positive terminal to the sub's positive terminal, and negative to negative. For dual voice coil, wire in series for 8 ohms or parallel for 2 ohms.

What is the mounting depth required?

The mounting depth is 3.5 inches. Ensure your enclosure has at least that depth to avoid the subwoofer hitting the back wall.

Can I use this subwoofer in a home theater system?

Yes, but you will need a home amplifier or receiver with a subwoofer output and appropriate power. Use a crossover set to 80 Hz.

MAKE SURE TO READ THIS

Installation of the X3-17-THUNDER8 audio system requires a lot of vehicle disassembly. It is very important to return all hardware from which it came to insure the safety and longevity of the vehicle and audio system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Whenever working on the vehicle, it is recommended to disconnect the battery prior to starting work. Failure to do so may lead to a risk of electric shock or equipment damage. When connecting power and ground wires ensure that the red power wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle's battery. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the product.
