Frequently Asked Questions - X3-17-SW-D MTX Audio
What is the ideal enclosure size for the MTX X3-17-SW-D subwoofer?
For a sealed box, we recommend 0.35 cubic feet. For a ported box, use 0.50 cubic feet with a 2-inch port tuned to 40 Hz. Always check the manual for precise dimensions.
How many ohms is the MTX X3-17-SW-D rated at?
The subwoofer has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, making it compatible with most mono subwoofer amplifiers.
Can I use this subwoofer in a home theater setup?
Yes, it can be used in a home theater if paired with a suitable amplifier and enclosure. However, it is primarily designed for car audio and may require a 12V power supply in mobile installations.
What RMS power should I send to the X3-17-SW-D?
The subwoofer handles 150 watts RMS and 300 watts peak. An amp delivering 150-200 watts RMS is ideal to avoid clipping while ensuring clean bass.
Does the subwoofer come with grilles or hardware?
The package includes mounting screws and an owner's manual. A grille is not included, but can be purchased separately if needed.
How do I break in the MTX subwoofer?
Play moderate bass levels at low volume for the first 10-15 hours. This allows the suspension to loosen and improves overall sound quality.
What is the recommended amplifier power and impedance load?
Use a mono amplifier rated for 150 watts RMS at 4 ohms. You can also wire two subwoofers to a 2-ohm load if they support parallel wiring (check the manual).
Can I mount this subwoofer in a truck box?
Yes, it fits in a custom truck enclosure as long as the mounting depth is at least 4.5 inches and the mounting diameter is 5.5 inches.
How do I clean the subwoofer?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the cone and surround. Do not use water, solvents, or compressed air, which could damage the material.
What should I do if the subwoofer emits distortion?
Check the enclosure integrity, ensure the amplifier is not clipping, and verify that the subwoofer settings (gain, crossover) are properly configured. Also confirm that the power wire is sufficient (at least 8 gauge).
