CT Sounds Tropo 10 vs MTX Terminator TNE212D

Buy the TROPO-10 if you want a single 10-inch sub with high power handling and a dual voice coil you can wire to 1 or 4 ohms, and you plan to build or already have an enclosure. Buy the MTX TNE212D if you want a complete dual 12-inch sealed box that drops in and plays without any build work. The TROPO handles more RMS power per sub and has the better owner rating, but it is a bare driver. The MTX is a full package with a 24-month warranty, yet its 400W RMS rating and 4.3 rating show it is the more modest performer.

• Choose the TROPO-10 if you have an enclosure and an amp that can feed a dual 2-ohm sub, and you want strong output from a single 10.
• Choose the MTX TNE212D if you want a sealed dual 12 box that is ready to install with no building or matching parts.
