  • Pay attention on bridging. See pic. Nice compact class D amp.
Style: 500 Watt RMS monoblock Amplifier Pattern Name: Car Amplifier
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. ... show more

  • Awesome little amp!
Style: 500 Watt RMS monoblock Amplifier Pattern Name: Car Amplifier
I beat on this thing and it doesn't even get warm. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if my subs failed me first or I lose my hearing 😂

  • As expected MTX delivers. No frills just reliable and packs a punch.
Style: 500 Watt RMS monoblock Amplifier Pattern Name: Car Amplifier
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. ... show more

  • Amazing little thing with decent power and small footprint.
Style: 500 Watt RMS monoblock Amplifier Pattern Name: Car Amplifier
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. ... show more
