Massive dmx 15's for daily
« on: March 01, 2009, 02:32:29 PM »
Looking for some direction and advice. I'm looking for 4 15 inch subwoofers to replace my 4 re sx's. I have no plans to compete, just want a sub that gets loud and sounds good on music. I have a 17 cubic foot ported enclosure in the back of my h2, tuned to 37 hertz. No wall, subs face up towards the roof. Subs would have about 4 cubic feet for room(each). I have a dd z2 for my sub amp. When I started looking at diff subs, I came across the dmx's. The website says that they are rated for 1500 watts rms for music. I asked around on some other forums and was told that It would take twice that to keep the dmx happy and was also told that they are more 1 hit wonders and not a good daily drivers...My other options are a re mx or ascendant audio havoks. So, my question...is 1500 watts to each 15 adequate for music? and are they a good daily sub? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

i have had RE's MX's and i have a pair of DMX's.  If you have enough space for the DMX's get those they get much louder than the MX's. The DMX's are ok in sound quality as a Daily but that is because they are meant to be a Competition sub. But dont get me wrong it still sounds loud and nice.  The MX is more of a softer bass which can get lower than the DMX so most songs will sound better beacuse it is a SQ sub but they dont get nearly as loud as the DMX does. if you are looking for some DMX's i am selling mine. They are like new. ive only had them for a couple of months. im sellin them for $400 each. PM me or email me at donsam88@aol.com and we can talk more if you are interested.

What kind of power where you pushing them with? and is the warranty transferable? I'm getting ready to go to the gym, I'll email you later. Thanks for the input!

i am pushing them with two 1500 Watts Rms and 3000 Watts Max one per sub. The amps are 2 Massive P1500.1. I bought the subs at my local shop which is a Massive dealer. if anything happends to them within the year that i bough them, i can take them back there and have them either reconed or get some new ones.

at 1500watts you shouldn't have any problems with the DMX's. As long as it's "clean" power with minimal to no clipping/ distoration.

How do I post pics here? x-man, I tried your way and it just post links to photo bucket. The only way I know how to post pics are with attachments and they come out all little!
