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.

The adjustable settings are easy to adjust the remote bass knob is very nice to use. I also own another Mtx thunder amp! Ive never had a problem with each of them. I would definitely recommend this amp!

For the past three years i always upgraded my car audio every year Last year i purchased 10ZX750.1 from S.E in which it got the job done. But when i caught S.E. put the MTX THUNDER ELITE 1501D for a lower price for a limited time. I had to get it. Within 5 business days it was at my front door. O.M.G. LOL. When i installed it me and my neighbors heard a significant difference, LOL. I had 2 divorce my KICKER and run with MTX & 2 KICKER COMP 15s. I even had to upgrade my wires to 0gauge. When i say I TURN HEADS and ppl rolls up windows i'm not lying. Plus i could be heard 3 streets over. WOW. For the past 3 yrs Sonic Electronix have not disappointed me. The MTX 1501D in one of the best investment for anybody that want awsome BASSS. If you have money get it.
