Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap Before
Before - We liked our old setup and the MTX 4500-series subs sounded good, but there's always room for improvement, right?

Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap After
After - One call to Crutchfield and $300 later, we had a sweet new sub setup and improved bass performance.

Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap Remove Old Subs
We began the install by simply removing the old MTX 10-inch subs with a cordless drill.

Fresh out of the box from Crutchfield.com, our MTX Thunder Round 10-inch subs looked great and for under $300, are a real bargain.
Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap Larger Magnet
Looking at the sub's magnets, the new Thunder Round sub has a much larger magnet, but is less than a 1/4-inch deeper.
Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap Thunder Round Appearance
We were also big fans of the new Thunder Round's appearance. Stlye and performance is a great combo.
Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap 12 Gauge Wire
To keep our MTX Thunder Elite 5601 amp wiring the same, we used a 12-guage wire to connect one side of the dual 4-ohm connectors. This way our amp would push the subs in parallel and we'd enjoy optimum performance.
Mtx Audio Subwoofer Swap Connect Subs
Each sub was connected using the existing wiring.
