The MTX Car Audio products
are engineered with true cham-
pion spirit. MTX amplifiers were
the very first amplifiers to be cer-
tified by the technical wizards in
the Autosound 2000 Test Labs.
Ever since they were introduced,
they’ve won hands down in every
comparison of performance ver-
sus price. (Ha! We laugh in the
face of the status quo!) And MTX
products have been winning
AutoSound Grand Prix Product of
the Year honors all through the
90’s.
That’s why, when we are ready
for product development advice,
we go to the experts – IASCA
and world champions.The win-
ners, who dominate the car audio
competition scene.They talk. We
listen. And the results are going
to blow you away. High perfor-
mance mono-block amplifiers.
Subwoofers that’ll dare you to
hurt them. Designed with the
latest in engineering software
programs. Very cool.
To make sure that every MTX
amplifier meets or exceeds its
specifications, we run like a zillion
tests before they ever make it out
the door.
And just to show you how
serious MTX is about going
beyond the ordinary, we putT-
shirt or a cap inside every
Thunder or BlueThunder ampli-
fier. (Now how cool is that!)
to create top-notch, in-your-face
ultra-clean car audio systems, winning isn’t
enough. Pushing the limits is what
separates champions from the ordinary.
In the race
Three different lines of amplifiers, all made in MTX factories in
USA. Easy to say it, much more difficult to do it. Some of you will
probably ask himself: “why?”. Read this small guide, and you will
understand it.You will see how carefully matched these amplifiers
are to your varying requirements for power and features.
One of the first
things you’ll
notice about
the new Blue
Thunder ampli-
fiers is how cool
they look.You see,
we have quite a legend
to uphold in these products.
AutoSound Grand Prix
Product of theYear for 6
consecutive years.
Dominance in car audio competitions (BlueThunder has
been the amp of choice in the MTXThunder Force
Mustang, that tours the country on a “trophy round up” in
IASCA competitions). We’re manifesting the championship
legend in the look of these amps.They are born to win in
every competition.
TheThunder high-power, low noise amplifiers are fully loa-
ded. Advanced computerized protection circuitry.
Euro-style heatsink with rich, gold logos
(in powder coat black).
Designed with

Very cool.
The dream of
every car
audio enthu-
siast.
The new RoadThunder ampli-
fiers were designed with the
same technology approach
that has earned MTX ampli-
fiers awards, honors and testi-
monials from reviewers
worldwide. Made for one pur-
pose: to make it possible for
everyone to make the first
step into the magical world of
MTX car audio.

1. Heatsink—New aggressive but
sleek look heatsink. A drop-dead gor-
geous, tinted-gray heatsink with an
elegant, semi-gloss finish. And the
bright blue LED completes the whole
package (we’ve had some complaints
that the LED is too bright -- our res-
ponse is, “if it’s too bright, you’re too
old!).
2. The Circuit Board— We start with a raw circuit board, and
add each of the components. Many components are inserted
using a high-speed auto-insertion machine, for consistency
of manufacture and high reliability of the product. Larger
parts are inserted by one of our trained technicians. To be
sure your amplifier delivers the power you demand, we use
only the finest components. Like low impedance, high power
transformers, for cooler operation. And we use a patented
PWM MOSFET Switching Power Supply, for excellent sonic
reproduction. The larger output MOSFETS ensure reliability
and performance. On the Blue Thunder Amplifier Circuit
Board we even use a new technique that actually “floods” the
circuit board with copper, for substantially higher current
capability, lower distortion, and increased reliability.
3. The Birth Certificate – each of the Blue Thunder amplifiers
is tested to make sure it meets or exceeds its rated specifica-
tions, and our technicians sign the Certified Performance
Certificate.

Four Channel
Amplifier
TheThunder4300X 4-channel amplifiers offers
enhanced system design flexibility.
The front and rear crossovers are 18dB/octave,
continuously variable between 50Hz and 200Hz high pass or
low pass, giving you several options in setting up your system.
The new symmetrical power supply allows for better ther-
mal distribution.
The “sum output” jacks on this four-channel amplifier provide
a line level summed output of the right front/right rear and left
front/left rear input signals.This output is typically used to
drive an external subwoofer amplifier.
THUNDER4300X
37.5 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N
150 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load less than 0.3% THD+N
Damping Factor: >200
Thunder EQ: Variable Bass Boost (0-18dB) centered at 40Hz
Crossovers: Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP or LP configurable
Four of the channels feature an
18dB/octave Butterworth
defeatable and continuous-
ly variable crossover (50Hz
- 200Hz). The front channel
has a 40x frequency multi-
plier (50-200Hz/2000-8000Hz).
The fifth channel is a dedica-
ted, class D subwoofer
channel, with an 18 dB/octave
low-pass crossover
(Butterworth, continuously
variable, 50-200Hz).
Class D is an important classi-
fication in the amplifier world
(and what a zany world it is).
Class D means, quite sim-
ply, more power, used more
efficiently. Your power goes
to driving speakers, not to
heating up the heat sink (if you
want excess heat, build a fire.)
The 5400 also features the EBC
Port (external bass control) for
fast bass adjustment.

Two Channel
Amplifiers
Thunder amplifiers are known for superior
performance, low to
non-existent noise, and really easy installa-
tion. Now we’ve added some other goodies to
the list:
18dB/octave, continuously variable crossover (on
Thunder250X, Thunder275X,Thunder2150X, and
Thunder2300X) with reverse outputs. For example, when you have
the crossover set to low-pass, you have a high-pass output.This makes
it much easier to connect multi-amplifer systems.
Symmetrical power-supply (onThunder2150X andThunder2300X) dis-
tributes the heat evenly across the amplifier.This makes it more reliable
(meaning, it plays louder).
External Bass Control (EBC) port (on theThunder2150X and
Thunder2300X) lets you adjust the bass from your seat with the optional
EBC unit.
Individual Gain Controls to center up the soundstage.
Giant MOSFETS (we’re not exaggerating – they’re huge). A larger MOS-
FET means power supply stability, and a more reliable product.
8 Volt RMS Input -This large signal capability allows for better integra-
tion with high voltage output source units, increased dynamic range, and
better Signal-to-Noise ratio in the audio system.
Continuously Adjustable Thunder EQ bass boost, centered at 40Hz.To
severely boost the low-end, and the attention you get from other drivers
and innocent bystanders.
Unique Split Shield bottom plate design, reduces electro-magnetic
interference, to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce distortion.This
design is so hot, we patented it so others can’t leech off our genius.
(Patent # 5,521,792)
TheThunder225HO is a
low impedance, High-
Output amplifier. It’s what
you need when you want
power, and lots of it. With
individual gain controls for
left and right, and 2 sets of
RCA connectors, this
amplifier has one characte-
ristic that sets it apart from
others in its class – it deli-
vers extremely clean
sonic performance.

Common
Technology Platform
We called the LSX1 and LSX2 “Large Signal Crossvers” because of their
ability to accept up to an 8 volt RMS input signal for integration with
high voltage output source units or line drivers.This means noise-free
performance.
18 dB/octave slope for greater protection to midranges and tweeters by
decreasing overexcursion at low frequencies.
Continuously adjustable crossover points, for extreme flexibility.
Wire harnesses for speaker level input allow easier integration with
OEM systems.
ISO-FEET™ mounting platform eliminates chassis-to-chassis ground
loops.
1 Meg Ohm Isolation maintained between the Signal Ground and
Power Supply Ground (eliminates ground loop noise)
External Bass Control (EBC) port connects to optional dash-mountable
EBC unit, for external bass control.
Buffered output stage with 100 ohm output impedance, to drive mul-
tiple amplifiers with ease.
LSX1 Large Signal Crossover (2-Way)
Continuously Variable Low and High Pass Outputs between 30-400Hz High
Pass, and 20-200 Hz Low Pass.
LSX2 Large Signal Crossover
(2-Channel 3-Way, or 4-Channel 2-Way)
Dual High Pass Outputs.The front is continuously adjustable on a scale of
either 30-400 Hz or 600-8000 Hz, depending on the setting of the multi-
plier switch. Rear High Pass is continuously variable from 30-400 Hz. Low
Pass is continuously variable from 20-200Hz.
Front and rear low impedance inputs so you can add to an existing
factory stereo system and keep the factory front to rear fader.
Phase reversal switch (180˚) for greater flexibility in system integration.
Our one-of-a-kind MTX LSB1, (a.k.a. “the Black Box”) is a dual function,
multi-purpose signal and remote turn-on processor. One of its primary
functions is to allow you to easily switch between two different subwoo-
fer amplifier signal paths, for either sound quality listening or SPL liste-
ning. (“LS” refers to Large Signal, or the ability of the device to accept
up to a 10 volt RMS input signal).
Note: Unlike the infamous Black Box that tells what happens in a
plane crash, the only thing the LBS1 will tell about you is that
you have superior taste in audio equipment.
Sound Quality Listening
The low noise (Signal-to-Noise ratio better than 105 dB) attenuator is
typically used for the sound quality testing portion of an IASCA competi-
tion, or for listening preferences that emphasize sonic reproduction.
SPL Listening
The SPL setting routes the signal through a high pass filter.This allows
you to boost a narrow band of frequencies (typically at the “in-car reso-
nance” of the system, or the port tuning frequency of a vented system)
to play obscenely loud without damaging your woofers.
Turn-on/Turn-off Delay
This feature allows you to delay turn-on of amplifiers and turn-off of
signal processors to prevent transient noise. Or, it can delay turn-on/turn-
off of a system’s moving parts.The LSB-1 also features our patented Split
Shield™ bottom plate design and the MTX ISO-FEET™ non-conductive
mounting feet to prevent chassis-to-chassis ground loops (parent
#5,521,792).

SUBWOOFER
The RFL is designed for
the most aggressive sport
in car audio, dB Drag
Racing or other SPL
contests.
Every part of the RFL
screams LOUD.
Industrial Cast Aluminum Frame-
the12-legged frame ensures the
most stability, so the speaker stays
together when you’re hittin’ 170 dB.
For extra cooling, we’ve added regularly-
spaced apertures, to help keep air ventila-
tion under the spider, and equalize the air
pressure under the spider.
The motor structure is bolted together with six 5/16”, 18
thread, stainless steel, hex head external bolts. This enginee-
ring approach makes sure the speaker can handle the tre-
mendous vibrations created by high SPL.
Front Plate/Back Plates are .375” thick machined cold-rolled
steel. We made them overhang the 100 oz strontium ferrite
magnet, to make room for the aforementioned bolts.
Ultra Long Throw Piston Design—a 1.65” tall voice coil. In
fact, the 2 ohm uses 22 gauge wire in the voice coil winding.
The insulation is rated at a 180 degree Celsius retained bond
strength.
Extra Long Pole Piece—it’s way-extended and helps keep the
voice coil centered during this speaker’s enormously long
excursions. Even at full excursion, the entire voice coil
remains around the pole piece, for extra heat dissipation.
There’s also a clear zinc chromate finish plating on the pole
piece.
The Congruent edge technology on the gasket/surround helps
the speaker handle the demands placed on it.
Physical structure allows for a 2 1/2” peak-to-peak travel.That
eliminates the possibility of the spider bottoming out.
Constructed to handle up to 1500 watts total power.
Black polypropylene cone, with an optimal surface area that
allows more speakers to fit in the vehicle—for more cabin
pressurization and higher SPL potential.
Frequency response of 50-60Hz—you won’t be playin’ any
Yanni through these bad boys.

Quite simply, winners will chooseThunder7000 because
when it comes to winning, there’s no limit to how low MTX
will go – and we mean that in the best sense.
WOOF.
Thunder7000 subwoofers are like wolves in sheeps’ clo-
thing.They innocently slip into your smallest sealed enclo-
sure without taking up a whole lot of trunk space, but turn
them on and they give deep, loud, snarling bass that
threatens to rip your face off.
Hot Isn’t Always Cool.
Asymmetrical Linear Drive technology, used throughout
theThunder series, promises high output with low distor-
tion. And these subs are packed with features to help dissi-
pate heat (repeat: “Overheated speakers are NOT our
friends”).They’ve got a rugged die cast frame, an enor-
mous magnet structure (102 ounces), and a 2.5” high-
temperature, 4-layer voice coil (8-layer on the 15”). If you
didn’t know, more copper means better thermal
power handling. (For example, theT7158 has 475 feet of
copper.) All these features add to the cool factor – literally.
EXCLUSIVE! Mad Scientists Breed
Killer Spiders!
One of the biggest challenges in spider design is to maxi-
mize the linear region of the speaker’s movement. We per-
formed extensive Finite Element Analysis (high-tech tes-
ting) on the spider and found that the best design was a
“five roll” spider design. We call it Computer Optimized
Progressive Roll spider (COPR for short).
Picture of Strength
Take a good look at this speaker.The gasket and surround
are one piece (we call it Congruent EdgeTechnology - CET),
made of thermal-pressure-formed Ethylene Propylene
Diene Monomer (EPDM).Translation? Extremely durable,
with a sleek,
cool look.
The unique
radius on the
pole piece
also mini-
mizes turbu-
lence that
occurs
during large
excursions,
so when you
turn the
music WAY
up, you
won’t hear
that “heavy
breathing”
sound
(unless it’s
your own).

Superior Performance
When Space is Really Tight.
MTX introduces a clever mix of leading edge technology
(including MTX’s Asymmetrical Linear Drive System).These
new subwoofers were designed to play DEEP, LOW, BASS in
a variety of enclosures: sealed, vented or bandpass. For
example, the 8” will play in a sealed enclosure as small as
.25 cu foot. With 4, 8, or 12 ohm impedance options, the ins-
tallation possibilites are virtually endless.
Extreme Power Handling Levels
Oversized magnet structure, a four-layer voice coil and black
Kapton voice coil formers keep these subwoofers ready and
eager to play.
Acoustically Stable
for accurate Sonic Reproduction
Black, polyether foam surrounds with paper pulp cone. Gold
plated speaker connectors offer secure connections.The
black EPDM gasket makes a tight seal when rear mounted,
and a cosmetic nicety when front mounted.
Sleek yet Rugged Looks
Black Spider, with black plated front plate, black plate and

more if it could speak).
Single-Sub
Wedge
Enclosures
TheT510 andT512 are
single-sub wedge enclo-
sures with a small sea-
led enclosure design,
for deep, low bass. 70
degree trapezoidal shape
makes the most efficient
use of available space. A
4 ohm mono design
maximizes the
output capability of your
amplifiers.

In competition or daily
use, you want sound reproduc-
tion as close as possible to the
original recordings.
That’s whyThunder5000 com-
ponents are specially designed
to enhance the realism of the
music (we’re serious about
sound, ya know. It’s our motto).
The extended, vented pole
piece provides a symmetrical
magnetic field and enables
higher power handling.
Matched crossover compo-
nents feature a steep high
pass crossover slope with PTC
tweeter protection T54S and
T55S –
12 dB/octave high pass
T56S –18dB high pass and 6dB
low pass.
The 1” soft dome tweeter
with neodymium magnet
provides improved frequency
response (better sound) with a
small magnet, so it fits in its
space. And, Ferrofluid keeps
them cool.
A shallow mounting depth
on the midrange speakers
allows greater installing flexibi-
lity, which is really important.

The finest amplifiers deserve to be paired
with superior quality subwoofers and com-
ponent systems.Thunder3000 subwoofers
feature the same Asymmetrical Linear
Drive System, common to allThunder
Loudspeakers (the flat progressive spider,
combined with the extended, vented pole
piece). We’ve added some other touches to
make sure these speakers perform way,
way, past your expectations.The Voice Coil
is wound on a Black Kapton former for
high power handling.The strontium ferrite
magnet yields a highly efficient speaker
(more efficient means better use of your
amplifier power).
Way Cool Looks
These subwoofers will please all you
fashion plates out there. Black foam sur-
round. Black poly dustcap with stealth
logo.
Very tasty.

Designing separate components is one of the more interesting
challenges in today’s Car Audio. They have to be easy to fit eve-
rywhere, and they have to provide a sound that is warm, aggres-
sive, full of appeal, dynamic.This is the reason why here, at MTX,
we studied and developped this new range particularly oriented
to the European cars.
New models, a complete new line of 4”, 5” and 6.1/4” separate
components.
The Din standard baskets allow these separate components to
easily fit in all the European cars.
The polypropylene cone on the woofer is higly durable, resis-
tant to damaging UV rays and improves bass performances.
The woofer magnet is made of Barium Ferrite, ensuring the
maximum energy transfer.
The Capton voice coil former provides high efficiency and
extraordinary power handling.
The 3/4” dome tweeter (1/2” on the 4”) offers the smoothest
high frequency response (those highs will come through crystal
clear).
The tweeter magnet is made of neodymium, one of the
strongest materials, for superior sensitivity. And Ferrofluid keeps
the tweeter cool.
A very professional 12dB/octave crossover box is provided
with all the models.
The umbeatable price/quality ratio makes these new separate
components affordable, yet suited for even high end applications.

New models, a complete new line of 3/4”, 4”, 5”, 6.1/4”, 6x9”
coaxial speakers.
The Din standard baskets allow these separate coaxials to
easy fit in all the European cars.

tant to damaging UV rays and improves bass performances.
The woofer magnet is made of Barium Ferrite, ensuring the

The umbeatable price/quality ratio places these new coaxials
in one of the most interesting ends of the market.
A coaxial is very often perceived as a basic speaker. Here, at MTX,
we have a different opinion. An American coax has to be different,
has to be designed and engineered respecting the same concepts
of all the other products. Even when it is specially built in an
European Din standard basket, to allow an easy fit everywhere.
And your music will be full, clear and more accurate.
