Amp Is Ridiculous!

This amp is crazy! I got one a few years back and had it rated runnin @ about 1700 watts on a TC Sounds TC 3000 15", then on a Treo SSX 15", then finally bought another and got 2 RE MX 12"s ( : D RIDICULOUS!!!) and had them rated doin 3400 watts RMS to the MX's in my last car (2003 Saab 93 Aero). HIGHLY recommended!!! BIG SHOUTS TO SONIC ELECTRONIX FOR COMIN' WITH THE NICEST STUFF AT THE LOWEST PRICES!

expensive, but legit amp

I recommend this amp to anyone that has the money. I've heard it many times in a retail store hooked up to an mtx 9500 and this amp makes the 9500 shake everything in the room. This amp actually pushes more wattage than it claims. at 2 ohms, it pushes around 1200 watts instead of the 1000 that it claims. Great amp, the only thing that could change is the price.

Good Amp

This Amp produces/provides alot of power however this drains alot of amps from an alternator. I have it pushing 1 MTX 9515-44 in 4.5cubic ft. ported box and a TE1004. I recommend this Amp only if you get a high ouput alternator, YOU WILL NOT GET THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THIS AMP IF YOU DONT BEEF UP YOUR ALTERNATOR, EXTRA CAPS & BATTERIERS WON'T HELP YOU. I got a custom highput Alternator 350amps for $450, I have no extra battery, cap, or circuit breaker, just a red top under the hood, no interior/exterior dimming.

great sound

This amp along with the Kicker L7 12 inch subs and the enclosure that I purchased from sonic is a great combo. Sonic put together a system that the best I have heard.

Amazing!!!!

This amp with the right set up is unstoppable! I have it wired to a T9510-44 @ 2 ohms, and I've never experienced such sweet sounding "VIOLENT" bass!! I highly recommend this amp to anyone lookin' for reliable high quality power, this amp never even gets warm!!!

The amp of champs

I"m running a 1501D amp with 4 tens at a 1 ohm load with this horse of an amp. I can shut it down, but then again, I"m hard on subs and amps.I haven"t found an amp yet that I couldn"t shut down.I"m very happy with it,and the styling is great....Thats what attracted me to it cause where I mounted it is where it can be seen. I can"t believe how cheap the anp was for what I got..If you are looking for power I would recomend this amp, but be prepaired to buy a high output alt. I still need to buy one myself. Driving down the freeway at 75mph,with a cap,my headlights dim and my voltage gauge goes down to the point where check gauges light comes on in my truck. I have had it vibrate so hard in the cab that it moves my rearview mirror down to where I"m looking at the center console,again,I will say In my opinion there is no better of an amp than this one for the money

Awesome Amp!

I bought this amplifier over 4 months ago. It is pushing two 12 inch L7s in my acura tl. This amp is very consistent with power distribution and not to mention, it is also power hungry! I had to upgrade my alternator just from this one amp. I now have two amps and 4 L7s.

I highly recommend this amp to anyone looking for serious, true power. This amp is under rated. This amp is definitely worth the money!

Gu$

If you want power this is it...This amp is pushing my two cvx 15'' without any problem,, the only problem is the amount of power this amp needs...it will need a capacitor of 5 farad and a kinetik hc 1800.

VERY POWER HUNGRY

These are the best amps in the land. I have two of them powering an MTX SledgeHammer SLH-T9510X2-D-SUV and man does it beat the block down. It sounds very good. They are very power hungry so I have two Stinger SPP1200 hooked two them with a HO350 amp alternator.

Pretty awsome!

I bought this amp about six months ago. I had it hooked up to two MTX TS55 12" subs, and it had rich, deep, heavy and continuous bass! MTX is and will be my favorite brand of all time, and I would recommend this amp to anyone who is wanting to get good power at a great price!

Turn Heads

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.

King of the thunder.

This is my very first time owns a MTX amplifier, I have owned some others such as Hifonics, Kenwood, sound storm, pyle, ect. But, I tell you if you want to go for the beats and quality this is the one to go with, one most legit amp. Never gets hot, changes colors in like 8 different ways while your music is on. So want to go loud get that Thunder Elite fo sho.

An Amazing Amp

I hooked this amp up and it not only looks amazing but it gives 2 15's a kick!! The look of this amp is one of a kind. 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!

GREAT AMP

I recommend this amp to anyone looking for true power and reliability. My birth-sheet on this amp is 1845W rms@ 1ohm! This amp is nasty with power, and of course power hungry...What good amp isn't? I have a hc1800 battery, 250 amp h.O. Alt, and it gets everything it needs. Price is a little steep, but u gotta pay to play! Besides that, not a single complaint!
