FAQs

Is the TX812 better for sealed or ported enclosures?

It is designed to be highly versatile and performs excellently in both, depending on your goal: sealed for accuracy or ported for maximum output.

What size amplifier do I need?

To get the best performance, use an amplifier that provides 1800W RMS at the appropriate impedance for your specific TX812 model.

Can I install this in any vehicle?

The subwoofer will fit most vehicles, but you must have sufficient space for a custom enclosure and a robust electrical system to support the power requirements.

How heavy is the TX812?

Due to the 250OZ magnet structure, this is a heavy unit; ensure your enclosure mounting baffle is thick enough (typically 3/4" MDF) to support the weight.

Does it come with a grille?

Grilles are typically sold separately to allow for custom aesthetic choices; check your specific retail package contents.

Troubleshooting

Distorted sound at high volumes

Check your amplifier settings for clipping and ensure the gain is not set too high; also verify that the enclosure volume matches manufacturer specifications.

Subwoofer is not producing sound

Check all speaker wire connections at the terminal and amplifier, and verify that the amplifier is receiving a signal and power.

Weak or "thin" bass response

Check the polarity of the speaker wires to ensure they are not wired out of phase; also inspect the enclosure seal to ensure it is airtight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional power handling at 1800W RMS
  • High-quality motor structure for precise bass transients
  • Versatile design supports both sealed and ported box types
  • Robust construction ensures durability under heavy loads

Cons

  • Requires a high-output amplifier to perform as intended
  • Heavy magnet assembly makes the unit bulky to install
  • Requires significant electrical system upgrades for stable operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your car's electrical system, including your alternator and battery, can handle the current draw required by your amplifier to power the TX812. When installing, use high-gauge oxygen-free copper speaker wire to minimize power loss. For the enclosure, adhere strictly to the recommended internal volume specifications provided by MTX Audio to maintain the desired Q-factor. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the subwoofer cone free of debris, avoid playing severely clipped signals, and periodically inspect the speaker terminal connections to ensure they remain tight and free of oxidation.
