Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the MTX TNS52 by Jon Paulette Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Step up your sound If you're looking for a big upgrade in sound without a huge outlay of cash, take a look at the MTX Terminator line of car speakers. You'll be amazed at how much better your music sounds once you've replaced your burned-out factory speakers with a set of these Terminators. And they're protected by MTX's unique 5-year warranty. Impressive performance and value MTX's TNS52 5-1/4" component speaker system will take your in-car audio experience to the next level, whether they're powered by a factory radio, an aftermarket car stereo, or a small amp. The system handles up to 35 watts RMS (70W peak), and includes two durable polypropylene woofers and two separate 1/2" Mylar tweeter. Mount the tweeters up closer to your ears instead of down by your feet, and it'll sound like the band is playing on your dashboard.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters can be flush mounted, surface mounted, or angle mounted. The angled mount is a semi-surface mount, because most of the housing sits above the mounting surface, but a small portion is counter sunk into the panel. The tweeter can pivot in the flush and surface mount housings. Tweeter Dimensions: Frame Width Frame Length Cutout Diameter Mounting Height Mounting Depth Flush Mount 1.842" 1.842" 1.643" 0.113" 0.91" Surface Mount 1.892" 1.892" N/A 0.87" 0.54" (Screw Depth) Angled Mount 1.783" 2.11" 1.4" x 1" 1" 0.764" (Screw Depth) Crossovers: The tweeter crossover is built into the tweeter casing. The woofer uses its natural mechanical frequency roll off. Woofer Mounting Adapter: The included adapters can be used to mount the woofers in many 5x7 and 6x8 applications. There is also a knock-out on each bracket where the tweeter can be mounted. Warranty: Although the speaker reviewed and measured (taken from our first shipment) included information indicating a 1 year warranty, MTX recently changed to a 5-Year Prorated Warranty with the following terms: Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option, repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase. Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty period.

Pros: They look cool Cons: No base, poor sound quality. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Worth the money Written By Charlie007, Honolulu, Hi on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers were easy to install with the installation guide and the sound was definietly an upgrade from my stock speakers. For the price, they can't be beat. Pros: Very cost effective Cons: Tweeter wire thinner than I would want but still sounds good. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Dantman18, Columbus, oh on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love them it gives me a good quality sound that is also loud and doesn't distort when I crank it! And Crutchfield of course made it easy to install it literally took me and my bud 15 minutes to instal. Pros: Loud and clear easy instal. Cons: Does require you to think outside the box because of the twitter but that's any component speakers Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Disappointing Written By Smithlord, Dennis, KS on Sunday, August 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was dazzled by the low price. I was equipping my work car so didn't want to spend a fortune. I should have just sprang for better ones. These are just OK. Nice highs but no bass. Pros: High are nice and bright. Better than stock tweets in 05 Lesabre. This car is an oddball and hard to fit speakers to. These fit with mods to supplied brackets. Cons: Weak bass. Stock woofers were better. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 MTX Terminator Series 5 1/4" ookayyy but definitely entry level setup. Written By Nate, Solway, MN on Saturday, August 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Here goes! ! :-? Bought this set with a certificate and bought a set of baffles to match. Skipped/destroyed one of the baffles because of novice niave installer (me) Pleasantly surprised at the feel and quality of the surround and woofer cone material. If it could handle a higher RMS signal would be helpful. Have 800hZ/4 ohm bass blockers and sound slightly above average sq at a moderate volume. Time will tell. Hope to try with a 4 channel amp and a higher quality custom component set in the rear deck and rear sails. I used these to upgrade from stock which i kept and are still decent quality for 10 yr old speakers. Truly I'm not trying to knock MTX but for the price what you see is what you get. Built in resistors on tweets (Lil bass blockers) in leui of a xover saves money yet fits the bill. If ya want high quality go spend top $ on Focal or similar brand. pita to work with the poor solder of the points where the spade connectors fit onto were. Just horrible-,-, But will maybe solder these connections. If I would have had the cash I would't have installed these myself. Bad timing, but 8/10 for the price range. Pros: Reasonable quality in sound and build. Clean at 3/4 volume 50×4 watt deck properly setup with subs/amp in trunk. Would recommend though for economy. Cons: Terrible soldering of terminals when sent to me. Will have to solder. MID-HIGH Between 500hz-4kHz if not shaped correctly sounds BAD at 75% volume. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 MTX TNS52 Written By Mike, Sacramento, CA on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A big improvement to my Mazda 3 factory component front door speakers. Great highs from the tweeters. Nice mids from the woofer. Easy to install thought the adapter plates needed a bit of tweeking to get right. Pros: clean sound, easy install, low cost. Cons: tweeter wires are a little flimsy but not really a big issue Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Crisp and Clear Written By MatthewH, St Louis on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers provide great bang for the buck, Definitely a nice upgrade from the stock speakers they replaced. Id buy these again! Pros: Price, Quality, Sound Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good value and sound great Written By PerryB, Colorado Springs, CO on Monday, July 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good value at a great price. Just had to drill new mounting holes and splice in the connectors and my old Volvo Wagon has great sound from the Kenwood deck that I added as well. The bass is okay compared to stock radio standards, but I'll probably add a powered sub to round things out. The MTX speaker system was exactly what I was expecting and the sound is very clear.

I have a friend who is looking for a job at a small law firm. (No, this is not one of those instances in which a person refers to herself as a "friend." Do you see any quotation marks?) Not surprisingly, she is finding it difficult to land said job. As reported on Vault's Law Blog, June was a particularly bad month when it came to legal unemployment.
My friend's situation is not great. Of course, I did not say this to her. Indeed, like most conversations with my good friends, I say this behind her back instead. I am, after all, a good friend.
While things may not be looking so rosy for my friend as an aspiring small-firm lawyer, they are looking pretty sweet for some employed small-firm lawyers….

It's no accident that chief executives so often focus on short-term financial results at the expense of longer-term performance. They have every incentive to do so. If they don't make their quarterly or annual numbers, their compensation drops and their jobs are in jeopardy. Stock analysts, shareholders, and often their own boards judge them harshly if they miss near-term goals. And without equally strong pressure to manage for a future that stretches beyond 90 or 180 days, CEOs' behavior is unlikely to change. Developing a simple yet rigorous way to gauge long-term performance is crucial; after all, in business, leaders default to managing what's measured.
Five years ago we launched a global project to address that challenge. But we wanted to do more than just devise the right metrics. Our goal was to implement a scorecard that would not only get people talking about long-term performance but also alter the way that boards, executives, consultants, and management scholars thought about and assessed CEOs. We wanted this innovation to shine a spotlight on the CEOs worldwide who had created long-term value for their companies, and we wanted to give executives around the world critical benchmarks they could aim for.
Three years ago, in the January–February 2010 issue of HBR, we introduced such a scorecard. It evaluated chief executives on their entire tenure in office. We used it to rank the performance of nearly 2,000 CEOs. This month we are publishing a new version of that analysis. We have expanded it along two important new dimensions—making the group of CEOs we studied truly global, and examining which CEOs and companies were able to do well not only financially but also in terms of corporate social performance.Judging CEO Performance
For the most part, we used the same methodology that we did three years ago. (See the sidebar "How We Created the Scorecard.") We wanted to accomplish three things:
Assess the long-term performance of each CEO, from the first day on the job to the last. (Or for CEOs still in office, until August 31, 2012, our last day of data collection.) To do this, we looked at how much total shareholder returns had changed over that time period (adjusting for country and industry effects), plus the overall increase in market capitalization.
Reflect the global nature of business. In 2010 we drew candidates from the S&P Global 1200 and BRIC 40 lists; this year we worked with three other emerging-market indexes as well. The pool of CEOs studied increased by roughly one-third, from 1,999 in 2010 to 3,143 this year.
Be objective. Other rankings use reputation and surveys, which tap into popularity and celebrity status, to score CEOs. Instead, we use only performance data—notably, total shareholder performance. Other metrics, such as sales, profitability, and innovation rates, are useful, too, but they differ by industry, which makes comparisons difficult.
Granted, one downside of using truly objective measures is that our ranking may not exclude CEOs who have disappointed stakeholders on dimensions where performance is more subjective. This can be especially challenging with CEOs from emerging markets where rules are still being established. But even though CEOs are held accountable in areas that shareholder performance cannot capture, it remains the principal standard by which they are judged.

Gaston woman charged with writing bad checks, defrauding local businesses
SALISBURY — Law enforcement officials have a Gaston County woman in custody this morning after they say she and her son bought large purchases at several local furniture and retail stores, with no money in the bank to cover a check.
The Rowan County Sheriff's Office arrested and charged Marsha Gail Holmes, 48, of Cloninger Road, Dallas, with four counts of felony obtaining property by false pretenses. Investigators say Holmes and her son, Casey Lee Armstrong, 26, whose address is listed as a Charlotte homeless shelter, went to multiple businesses on Feb. 16, to buy furniture and other big ticket items. Officials now say the two defrauded other businesses in Rockwell.
The two, who officials aren't sure are mother and son, told one store owner that Armstrong had just deposited his tax refund check and they wanted to buy furniture. Steve Ludwick, owner of Home Town Furniture in downtown Salisbury, thought something didn't feel right. He called the bank and the bank told Ludwick the account had insufficient funds. He did not accept the check and the two left the store. A few hours later, Armstrong and Holmes bought more than $200 worth of items at Queens Gifts and more than $1,800 from Kimbrell's Furniture. The two would look at furniture, load it up and leave.
Capt. John Sifford said in each one of these businesses, employees or owners noted Armstrong appeared nervous and was shaking as he tried to sign the check. In many of the incidents, Holmes signed the check, saying Armstrong was sick. The two are said to have written checks at the Sofa Store & More located on U.S. 52 in Rockwell and a golf cart store in the town. It is unclear at this time how much they were able to buy at the two businesses. She remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond. See more details in Friday's Post.

The Limits
I note this humiliating penchant to allow for the possibility I'm doing it again by assuming an association between two ideas I've recently encountered. The first was in a book published by the Century Foundation about how we must regain full use of the civil liberties that have been curbed in response to the terror attacks on 9/11: Liberty Under Attack
The second input comes from an article by The New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl on the work of Chris Burden. In putting Burden's work into a historical context Schjeldahl suggests:
Congress, including twelve Democratic senators, .... deferred to a president who in many ways has abandoned policies and principles that have served the country well throughout its history. General John Shalikashvili, a former chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff, put it well: "The U.S. has repeatedly faced foes in its past that, at the time they emerged, posed threats of a nature unlike any that it had previously faced. But the U.S. has been far more steadfast in the past in keeping faith with its national commitment to the rule of law."
In pragmatic terms, art is a privileged zone of gratuitous activity, with boundaries maintained by the agreement of the vested authorities. Artists of the Duchampian sort delighted in effacing the boundaries, which, with increasingly avid complicity on the authorities' part, kept being redrawn to corral the effacements. It was a silly game, in the end. Ultimate limits were discovered, most pointedly by Burden, whose influence on conceptual and installational artists, to this day, is immeasurable. He defined art, in an interview in 1975, as "a free spot in society, where you can do anything"—anything, he might have added, that society will let you do. (Dennis O'Shea wouldn't let him die.) Context is all. The complexity of Burden's attitude became clear in 2004, when he and Nancy Rubins resigned their longtime teaching positions at U.C.L.A. to protest the university's decision not to expel a student who, in a class, had played Russian roulette with a fake but real-looking gun, then had left the room and set off a firecracker in the hall. In a university, Burden said, "there are rules of speech and decorum." Some disputants in the controversy, which dragged on for months, accused him of hypocrisy. He insisted on a cardinal difference between an act performed in an art space for an audience that had been warned and one sprung on students in a classroom.Pre-dating these new additions to my mental database was a proposal by an artist for a piece in that involved shooting up the pristine white walls of some gallery with a machine gun. I told the artist I hope he gets to do that some day (implying "but it won't be in my space").
OK, so by now you're scratching your head and thinking "He's inhaled too much floor paint fumes," hasn't he? Possibly. But the notion Schjeldahl offered that "Ultimate limits were discovered, most pointedly by Burden," in art, combined in my head with the comment by General Shalikashvili that "The U.S. has repeatedly faced foes in its past that, at the time they emerged, posed threats of a nature unlike any that it had previously faced," to suggest to me that Schjeldahl is most likely wrong. Burden did not discover the ultimate limits. We simply can't imagine them at this point because they'll be of a nature unlike any that we've previously considered.
Which is not to be mistaken as a call for even more dangerous performances, mind you. (I would have smacked the Russian Roulette artist upside his head had he pulled that stunt on my watch, but that's more out of fear than anything else.) But the notion that physical danger is the ultimate limit strikes me as somewhat, well, limited. Yes, I agree that life is everything, and once that's gone, the rest is reduced to footnotes, but there are other boundaries beyond the physical endurance types (like the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical skill variety) that are still ripe for boundary pushing in my opinion. Burden's most infamous performances generally risked one, final, conclusion, but didn't permit for success to be measured within a physical achievement. He would either passively die or survive. But that ignores the third option: to actively thrive. The exclusion of that option is his work's greatest failing in my opinion.
But I'm getting off track. My question is whether or not it's ever possible to reach the "ultimate limit" of the imagination. If there's one lesson from history we should have learned it's that there's always some surprise in store for us. I fully understand Burden and even Schjeldahl's desire to dissuade young artists from continuing Burden's earlier explorations, but I thought the best argument for doing so was the one of context Burden offered, not the notion that the ideas therein have been exhausted. Surely that's more likely to encourage some young Turk to attempt to prove them wrong, no?
