Currently I have two 15" MTX 7500s, and a Merlin Series II amp. It will cost me roughly $460 to upgrade my 7500s to the 8500s, to include a new box and upgraded amp. I am tossing the 3.0 capacitor, and replacing it with an Optima red top(I was able to aquire about 9 of them at no cost). Would this be a smart move at all? As of right now I am satisfied with my setup, but now I have the cash to make it better. I cannot afford to go to the 9500s because that will cost much more, but I will see. Any opinions?

 

Any chance I get to upgrade to a better amp and better subs I go for it!

Just because it feels good doesn't make it right!

 

wait until you can buy something besides mtx

 

ok i just sold my 7500s and they where great!! but the difference between the 7500s and the 8500 isnt much...ive heard both of them on proper powering amps and theres no big difference...save your money....and go with the 9500s you will be glad u did....i sold my 2 7500s

and went and bought 2 10" diamond d 6's

and ther GREAT!! go diamond and SQ

oh yea BTW notladstyle I went SQ now

 

D6 ftmfw - I got a 12" from Dan and it is by far one of the cleanest subs for under 150.

 

Well I already bought the 8500's. They handle 600 RMS compared to the 400 RMS on the 7500's. I also bought a stinger battery for the cap. I am waiting on a box though because I need a different box for the 8500's. The box is free of charge though. Only thing I am paying for is the price difference between the subs. Oh yeah, and the battery. I may also purchase an additional amp, all depends on my decibel level. I just want to be over a 141.1, which is what I had with the 7500's. The shop is giving me a month with the 8500's to determine if I want to go to the 9500s. In six days I will get to ride with the new system. Oh yeah and I got another touch screen head unit.
