Authorized 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.

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!
