MTX Audio Thunder801D Amplifiers 

DESCRIPTION

The Thunder801D mono subwoofer amp drives the hungriest 4-ohm sub with 400 watts RMS of Class D power. Hook up a two-ohm load, and the output doubles to 800 watts! MTX lets you harness this brute force with a variable low-pass crossover (40-200 Hz, 24 dB/octave) and the legendary ThunderEQ bass boost (0-18 dB at 40 Hz).

  • 400 watts x 1 at 4 ohms
  • 800 watts x 1 at 2 ohms
  • requires 4-gauge power and ground leads wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
  • Adaptive Class D Technology
  • variable 40-200 Hz low-pass crossover, 24 dB/octave
  • preamp outputs
  • PWM MOSFET switching power supply
  • gain control
  • Thunder EQ bass boost (0-18 dB at 40 Hz)
  • speaker-level inputs with SmartEngage (turns on the amp when it detects signal from the receiver, eliminating the need for a turn-on lead)
  • 11-5/8"W x 2-1/4"H x 9-13/16"D

Strength:

TINY Footprint. Won't destroy your electrical system.

Weakness:

Only 2 ohm stable.

Tiny, and I mean MINUSCULE amplifier for the power it puts out. It is rated 250 watts rms at 4ohms, and 500 watts rms at 2 ohms. And I believe it. The thing POUNDS. Back in the day, I had a ENORMOUS HiFonics Isis. It was a cheater amp. A '100 watt' amp that happened to be 18" long. It actually put out somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 watts rms because it was 1/2 ohm stable.

This amp performs 95% of that HiFonics did.

Strength:

unbelievable power. CLEAN power with a unbelievable crossover. probably the best 800 watt class d mtx has made! MTX quality all the way. doesnt chew much power either

Weakness:

are you crazy?

Well, to say the least it has one of the most powerful built in crossovers i have heard. Pushes way more than what rated at, (thats just mtx the underrate everything) Im running it on 3 mtx 6000 10's in the tri sub inclosure. I have a cutlass supreme, huge trunk. This amp is by far the best i have had! I get compliments on how good and low my bass hits, i love tearing up my friends jl 12 w3's in a eclipse hatchback! that prolly answers all your questions.
