The code gives it away mate. The 15rd954. Its a Road Thunder 15 inch series, made in 1995 and its 4 ohms. If you plan to use it then give it a clean and seal the hole in the surround using salistic / guey silicone based black tar looking glue. Just apply a dab from the back of the woofer cone so you cannot see it from the front. You may have to seal the tear with some glue first before you apply the black glue. Also the dust cap seems to be giving away so seal that with super glue as well! Now as long as the voice coil is all good, it should give you years of enjoyment in your car, home or man cave! :fro:I picked up this 15in mtx sub without model
Does have 15rd954 listed on magnet but nothing shows online that matches this sub
Cone is paper
Help looking for specs as building proper box too would be helpful thanks in advance

Loyd Ivey is still around as CEO of Mitek, which owns the MTX brand now, but I also just found a bio from him at CTA, being involved with a political action committee. I thought he had passed away, but seems I was mistaken. Lol.MTX has always been a great brand, but I am not sure if the old guy still owns the company, (forgot his name now) but back in the day, MTX rivaled Rockford Fosgate with a variety of gear from entry level, to flagship ground pounding subwoofers., in the late 90's
Nice to know a legend is still amongst us! :graduate:Loyd Ivey is still around as CEO of Mitek, which owns the MTX brand now, but I also just found a bio from him at CTA, being involved with a political action committee. I thought he had passed away, but seems I was mistaken. Lol.
I'd love to have a couple of those in my semi. It's about the only vehicle capable of holding such a beast! I also loved the RFL subs. I never heard them in person, but the name... Lol. (R)eally (F)'ing (L)oudNice to know a legend is still amongst us! :graduate:
That MTX Jack Hammer subwoofer is still a legendary product even at todays standards!
That's old news. You act like they just got bought out yesterday. Mitek owns an assortment of brands such as Esoteric Audio, Coustic, DCM, etc.Loyd Ivey is still around as CEO of Mitek, which owns the MTX brand now, but I also just found a bio from him at CTA, being involved with a political action committee.

I haven't kept up with their equipment much (with 20 year old equipment from them that still works great, I had no reason to), but I'd still give them a shot the next time I'm in the market. Following their Facebook page, it seems their main focus now is the UTV market, and not much new in the auto segment.What's your impression on the new MTX gear. I guess they just seem to follow the rest of the world as the trend has changed in car audio due to integrated head units and better 'premium ' sound packages available to consumer today. Still the speaker department and tiny amp is where they save money on as its all hidden from sight.
Agree mate, same here I had many old school gear so I have never actually bought any new gear the past 20 years as they are still going strong!I haven't kept up with their equipment much (with 20 year old equipment from them that still works great, I had no reason to), but I'd still give them a shot the next time I'm in the market.
