    Strength:

    Well im driving two 12inch MTX subs and it seems to want to destroy them,
    and thats at only 1/2 gain and im loosing 1.1 volts!!!!!!!!!!!
    CAN ANYONE IN THE U.S.A TELL ME ABOUT THIS AMP?
    it was never released here( too expensive $2100 australian dollars!)

    Weakness:

    damn cheap considering the 1000d retails at $1800 Aussie dollars, to weak compared to your yank cash

    well it certainly pumps out massive power, i just need to find subs to match this animal.


    CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THIS AMPLIFIER IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED :)

    Strength:

    Hits really hard, pushes 2 10' MTX subs no problem.

    Weakness:

    It drained my car battery because the automatic shutoff was busted on it. Evidently it was on recall, I sent it in and got a new one that works fine.

    I would recommend it to anyone, but be sure that it shuts off or you'll be walking to work in the morning.

    Model Reviewed: MTX 500d

    Strength:

    It is small in size but can pound anything you can throw at it (a 15, 2-12's, 3-10's)

    Weakness:

    Like most experiences I've had with MTX amps (Thunder 405) they seem to heat up very quickly

    I would recommend this for a mid level system and if you really just want to punch your subs and give them a meaningful life. This little toughguy will do the trick.

    Strength:

    TINY and HUGE power, doesnt get WARM.

    Weakness:

    Ugly. "Classic" look doesnt really go with anything.

    AWESOME! I hate the looks of it, but its lightweight and TINY and POUNDS. $300 from a friend who runs Audioflux. WELL worth it. It could look a bit more..interesting. Oh, and it doesnt get warm at ALL pushing my 2-12" MTX 5000's @2ohm. And mines rated for 639 instead of 500 on its birth certificate, so expect to have lots of extra power!

    Strength:

    I run 4 10" mtx 6000's at 1 Ohm a piece, and this amp has no problem pushing it out. it barely even gets warm after a long use. For the amount of power it puts out, it is small as hell. Previous to these, i ran a single jl auido 10w6 which absolutely screamed!!!

    Weakness:

    absolutely none

    It was the best $480.00 i ever spent, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Strength:

    I have two image dynamic 12's and this amp pounds them. The amp never gets hot and doesn't let power off at high volumes. It is rated at 500 watts. this amp should be 1000.

    Weakness:

    It has no weaknesses.

    I bought this amp for 500 dollars and it is worth every penny.

    I have had just about every amp known to man and I don't think I will ever have to buy another one.

    Strength:

    This amp pushes my Rockford Fosgate Punch DVC's almost over the edge. For the first time in my life, I am wlmost scared to ride in my car with all of the power that this amp pushes out. I have never heard an amplifier that pushes out as much power as the 500d does!!

    Weakness:

    Haven't found any yet!!

    The best $500.00 that I've ever spent!!

    I used the Xtant 603 x and it didn't even scratch the surface of where this amplifier is at!!
    I tried the Fosgate 800a2, and it couln't hardly handle my subs.
