2001 Thunder 8000 Subwoofer

Beyond the Limits of Performance

Quite simply, serious competitors choose Thunder8000 because when it comes to winning, there's no limit to how low MTX Audio will go - and we mean that in the best sense.

Woof

Your first glimpse of Thunder8000 subwoofers will give you a sense of their performance. "Aggressive" is one word for it. The enormous 12-leg, die-cast aluminum basket was made to handle the demands of enormous bass. Machined front and back plates scream quality. The 12 stiffening ribs on the injection molded cone increase cone durability and performance. All of this for bark and bite that lasts.

Hot Isn't Always Cool

Asymmetrical Linear Drive technology, used on all MTX Audio Thunder subs, promises high output with low distortion. These subs are packed with features to help dissipate heat (overheated speakers are NOT our friends). Thunder8000 subs have a rugged die cast frame, enormous magnet structure (102 oz.), and a 2 1/2", high-temp, 4-layer voice coil (8-layer on the 15"). More copper means better thermal power handling. Spider Plateau Venting refers to the small vents around the frame that allow the super-heated air under the spider to be exchanged with cooler ambient air. All of these features add to Thunder8000's cool factor - literally.

Picture of Strength

Take a good look at this speaker. The gasket and surround are made from NBR rubber (that's Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). This is a synthetic rubber that's extremely resistant to ozone and the effects of UV rays. Translation? Extremely durable, with a sleek, cool look. The unique radius on the pole piece also minimizes turbulence that occurs during large excursions, so when you turn the music WAY up, you won't hear that "heavy breathing" sound (unless it's your own). Why put all this effort and technology into Thunder8000 subwoofers? One, because we can. Two, because it's so cool. And three, because durability is critical for performance at high SPL levels. When the SPL meter is peggin' over 160dB, you can't have your speakers ripping apart. That would be bad. So go ahead. Give Thunder8000 subwoofers your best shot - but be prepared! Your head will likely explode long before these speakers ever will!
