At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Prizm EFX: With the MTX Prizm
EFX, you can adjust the color of the display to match your vehicle interior. The
display color can be set to red, green, blue, or any color in between. If
desired, you can switch Prizm EFX lighting to "pulsate" with the beat of music.
Xtant Technologies Cooling (XTC):
The Xtant Technologies Cooling (XTC) thermal-regulated, turbo-charged
intercooler supplies fan forced cool air evenly and constantly through tightly
packed, bonded fins. Fan speed is continuously variable and controlled by
amplifier's output load, temperature of heatsink, and transformers. Exhaust of
internal heatsink is strategically positioned to cool transformers to maintain
maximum performance at all volumes.
Adaptive Class D Technology:
While typical Class D amps tend to
generate high frequency energy that must be filtered to prevent harmonic
interference in the FM radio frequency range, Adaptive Class D Technology
directs the amp's switching energy away from FM radio ranges as the amp's load
and output increases. This improves the amp's overall signal-to-noise ratio and
eliminates interference generated by more common Class D amps.
Smart-Engage: When using the
speaker-level input, the amp automatically turns on when it senses signal from
the head unit, eliminating the need for a remote turn-on connection. In many
cases, this feature will allow you to install the amplifier without removing
your radio.
External
Bass Control: The External Bass Control lets you adjust the output level of
the amplifier from anywhere in the vehicle. When attached to the mounting
bracket, the External Bass Control has the following dimensions: W=1.602",
H=0.979", D=2.578" (including the knob).
Bass Boost: For added low
frequency performance, this amplifier has a 0 to +18 dB variable bass boost
centered at 40 Hz.
Variable Low-Pass Filter: The
internal low-pass filter can be adjusted from 40 to 200 Hz, and has a slope of
24 dB per octave.
Bi-level Inputs: The RCA inputs
will accept both speaker-level and line-level signals. To accept speaker-level
input, you must use the supplied high-level adapter cables.
Capacitor Terminals: This amp provides power and ground connections for an optional capacitor.
StreetWires Connectors: This
amp features StreetWires connectors for efficient current and maximum voltage
transfer.
Input Sensitivity: The input
sensitivity switch can be set to x1 (line-level input) or x10 (speaker-level
input). When set to x1, the input sensitivity can be adjusted from 100mV - 1V.
When set to x10, the input sensitivity can be adjusted from 1V - 10V.
Performance Certificate: MTX
tests each amplifier, and the technician records the "actual" power output on
the Thunder Amplifier Dyno Certificate included with each amp. The amp must meet
or exceed the rated specification in order to leave the factory.
Inputs and Outputs Notes
Set-screw Terminals: The power
and ground set-screw terminals will accept up to 4-gauge wire. The remote
turn-on, capacitor, and speaker set-screw terminals will accept up to 8-gauge
wire.
RCA Inputs: The RCA inputs will
accept both speaker-level and line-level signals. To accept speaker-level input,
you must use the supplied high-level adapter cables.
Remote Gain: This minijack
allows you to connect the supplied External Bass Control.
