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.

Great MTX product. I had 2 12" Kicker CVR's in a ported box hooked up to this bad boy and i was amazed by how much power it had. Plus the looks of this thing are on point, shinny and illumination of different colors? Yeah buddy, and takes a lot to heat it up, the fan on it is big as hell. No worries of overheating. Would defiantly recommend if you have a little extra cash, more than worth it.

Let's just say for $330 my MTX Thunder 8000's pound because of the power this thing puts out. They say 800 watt rms at 2 ohms and you feel every single watt! Easy to hook up and reasonal price. Fast shipping also. The bass knob is a plus and the lights are pretty cool.
