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.

WoW!

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.

This amp is amazing

I was kinda sketchy about buying this amp. As soon as i hooked it up I literally have had my ears hurt! I'm pushing my two twelve Pioneers and it's just perfect! I'm glad i bought this amp.

Very good price

So far it seems to work good, but I can't fully endorse a product until I have had it longer than 6 months. If it lasts as long as my mtx 6001, I won't be pleased.

The TE801D

I have a MTX TE801D hooked up to a MTX T9515-44 in a Cadillac DTS. This amp runs like a charm. Built in fan keeps it cool as you pound out the tunes. With it's sleek black finish this amp looks at home in a classy ride. Rated at 800W RMS @ 2 ohms this amp is putting out 879W @ 2 ohms. It rocks. It's MTX. It's the old school name with the new school looks. You can't go wrong with anything that has MTX on it. Pick one up you'll be glad you did.....

Bada** Amp

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.

great item

Great item. Definitely is way under powered than what the specs were. It pushes the subs hard. Would definitely buy again.

Best Bump for the buck!

this amp is really powerfull if you didnt know that this amp was 800watts you would probably think it was 1600watts! its that good and produces clear crisp bass, while also looking very sleek and sexy. i have this powering 2 12" kicker CVRs in an extended cab s10 and it shakes everything litteraly. so stop reading reviews, and go buy this amp!
