MTX 500 Watt RMS Power Mono D Bass Stereo Car Audio Amplifier | THUNDER500.1

Been giving it he** for 2 years now and still going strong.Nice and small design, stays fairly cool, great power and sound quality

Kind of odd way to bridge this amp for maximum power output. I’m used to using just one speaker wire to do this but according to manual you have to bridge this amp using all 4 speaker outputs and making that into a 2 wire to 1 wire configuration. See pic. After doing this it runs my two MTX 12 SUBS wired at 2ohm without any issues and plenty of power. I used true 6awg copper power wire for a 16ft run which seems adequate. Bass control knob is a big plus to be a able to adjust bass when needed.

I am pleased with the performance of this amp. It blows my pioneer gm out of the water. But the main reason I'm writing this review is, I was a little displeased upon opening the box. Inside I found a fairly nicely packed small amp (Which is great). But it didn't come with the bass remote. And that's a bit of a downer. I assumed it came with it... Other than that the amp kicks pretty well. Just ran it almost full blast for about an hour today and the amp was cold as a bone after. My pioneer could have been used to fry eggs. No joke. Buy this amp if you want a small efficient amp for a decent price.

Loving this little amp. Recently my MA Audio amp that was powering my two MTX 7500 12" subs for more than 7 years died. Well it actually did not died, the board for the incoming power lead got brittle over the years by the heat of pounding those two subs and fell apart but it lasted more than 7 years!!!, all other internals where still good. Since I don't care much now about letting everyone know I am coming around the block, I only want to hear the deep notes on my music, I decided to stick to only one of my 7 year old trust worthy MTX 7500, this thing seem to never die! I wanted something small and this has enough power for what I am looking this days. It powers my woofer nicely and has power to spare, runs cool too. Don't know how much else little thing is capable off and I don't care because I will not need it, is perfect for my single big and power hungry woofer. If you expect this to make miracles with dual power hungry woofers or a single high power single woofer I think you should step up to a bigger one.

MTX continues to impress. Just what I’ve come to expect from MTX…this amp has the basics, they don’t put a bunch of unneeded extras. Just more to go wrong on competing amps but this thing gives all the punch it advertises (probably puts out a bit more than advertised rms). If you don’t require a bass knob this is a great amp. Small form factor with good sound and power delivery.

Easy to wire up and dial in. Sonic quality is incredible for the size. I wasn’t sure if I’d use the remote (purchased separately) since I can control the sub levels from my deck- So glad I installed it!! The remote makes it quick and easy to dial the sub level in to whatever genre/source I’m listening to. Shipped fast. Well worth the $$$.

I bought this to power my MTX Terminator subs and to go with the MTX Audio remote bass control knob for MTX Thunder/Wet series. I heard the amp that came with the package deal on the speakers was trash and would overheat after short periods of time and shutoff. I decided to go on the MTX Audio website and this was the amp they recommended. I've had it in for a week now and they power my subs really good, the amp has a small size, never gets hot or shuts off and I got it installed behind my speakers and I haven't had a problem yet. Good product if you got a MTX setup in your car.

Amp is small yet very heavy and puts out plenty of power. I only wish it came with the adapter so I could control the gain while driving, yet that is a small inconvenience and I think I can purchase it for about 20 bucks. For the price I am very happy.
