Re: whats a jackhammer sub?A jackhammer sub is a ridiculous "statement" piece that MTX built just
because they could.
It is something they can haul around to shows and other special events and
have people "oh" and "ah" at it's ridiculous size and weight (it REQUIRES a
forklift for installation as not even two people can manage this
monstrosity). It's a little like the new 108" LCD TV Sharp has just built.
Though they have not announced a price it will likely be $70k+, yet there
are many other cheaper options that will deliver the same thing (a high-end
1080p projector for instance). It was built just because they could do it,
it get's people's attention at trade-shows, but in the "real-world", it is
not all that practical. With the Jackhammer you have two issues that make
it impractical A) it's size and weight make it difficult to install or find
a place to install and a cutom enclosure MUST be built to support the rear
weight (it is a 22" sub but what makes it impractical is that it is over two
feet deep) and B) the power necessary to drive it to even HALF it's rated
power would require a VERY large aftermarket alternator (or several), and
several HUGE Class D amplifiers. And even then, I have heard it is not all
THAT impressive. Again, the same results can be had for a fraction of the
price.
It is a statement piece, pure and simple. It is designed for trade-shows to
demonstrate to the world just how creative and impressive MTX subwoofers can
be. That's it.
