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.

I had other AMPs before around the same price but only 400 watt and this one is 600 watt. 600 watt is a little much for the average user. But you can turn it down and the bass quailty was much better than the weaker amps and lower power.

I recommend this amp because of how good the amp is. This amp has a lot of power and never overheats. You can hear the bass from miles away, that's how good the amp is. If you are looking for a good amp at a good price, I recommend this amp. It also changes colors at the top of the amp. Very cool amp.

I own this exact amp and let me just say, if you want people to hear you coming, even if you have a terrible set of speakers, this is the amp to buy. Don't think about buying another amp. This one will pound what ever you connect it to. I have a pair of 1600 watt MTX 12's and I am afraid to really pump them cause I know what this amp is capable of. Don't look anywhere else to buy this amp either. Its the cheapest I have even seen it. I wish I would have know about this site a long time ago. MTX is TOP QUALITY, even the low end stuff. Its a good buy.
