Authorized MTX Dealer
MTX Thunder Elite amplifiers are the most technologically advanced amplifiers that MTX offers. Not only are the features and quality superior, but the looks and design of the amplifer puts the Thunder Elite series at the top of the amplifier line.

The Look

The ultimate expression of power and style. The piano black finish and brilliant chrome intake take Thunder to a new level of style. But underneath is still loud and proud MTX power and clarity. Oversized caps, ISMT produced circuit boards, Pure N-channel design, Adaptive Class D technology, and so much more combine to create the best sounding car audio amplifiers...ever.

The new and improved Prizm EFX with the addition of white light, the option of stealth mode with no lighting and the dazzling display of demo mode.

The Technology

Thunder Elite amplifiers offer the most extensive array of sound enhancement features of any Thunder amplifier. With the multitude of equalization settings, crossover options, subsonic filters, and other comprehensive adjustments all located on the top of the amplifiers, dialing in the perfect sound is easier than ever.

Thunder Elite amps feature MTX Smart Engage technology making it easy to add Thunder amplifiers to any factory or aftermarket system—without additional adapters or converters. You get to keep your factory A/V system, steering wheel controls and navigation without removing the factory source. Designed by xtant technologies, the fan brings the amplifier to a whole new level. Not just a fan, XTC is a self adjusting, turbo-charged intercooler that intelligently supplies cool air evenly and constantly over all devices based on the amplifier's demand.

Dont fall asleep

First off let me start by saying that if your skeptical about buying this MTX 1501D amp because its R/B dont be!!!I bought one of these refurbished from sonic n this thing hits so hard i was impressed it comes with the birth certificate that states the true power .. the only thing you will notice is that they come with lil scratches here n there but cosmetically i give it 9/10 and 10/10 in performance so if cosmetics is not a problem i suggest you save yourself some money and buy this amp you wont be disappointed this thing HITZZ hard my 2 kicker CVX 12s cant hang with it......

Very powerful amp

This amp's wattage is very underrated. I get around 1800 RMS out of mine at 14.4 volts. It was very easy to connect and the power connectors seem very sturdy despite their size. It was bought refurbished but came without any scratches on it and in a factory refurbished box with clear protective film on the unit. came with all accessories and a factory quality control certificate. The lighting effect on the unit is very nice and the color can be set to pretty much anything. You can set it to a solid color or have it go through the colors starting at the base color depending on how much power it is putting out. Its a nice effect and doesn't look too flashy. I have it driving an 18" Fi BTL and let me tell you, it is LOUD. Sound really great too. At this refurbished price there is really no reason NOT to own this amp if you need the power.
