Features
1. Prizm EFX – All MTX amplifiers include backlit adjustment controls on the top surface of the product.
• Color – The backlit controls offer unlimited colors on the display -- from RED, GREEN, and BLUE to any color
in between.
• EFX – You can switch Prizm EFX lighting to "pulsate" with the beat of the music.
2. Xtant Technology Cooling (XTC) – A 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 the amplifier's output level, temperature of the heatsink and transformers. Exhaust from the internal
heatsink is strategically positioned to cool the transformers and maintain maximum performance at all
volumes.
3. Bi-Level Inputs with Smart Engage™ – All MTX amplifiers feature RCA type input connections. All MTX
amplifiers allow both high level and line level input into the RCA type input connections.
• Low Level Input – Source units with an output signal level of 100mV–10V may be used. See Input Sensitivity
for proper voltage level setting.
• High Level Inputs with Smart Engage™ – All MTX amplifiers allow high level inputs through RCA type input
connections using provided high level adapters. Source units with an output signal level of 100mV–10V may
be used. See Input Sensitivity for proper voltage level setting.

  • Page 1 TA91002 Owner’s Manual Introduction Thank you for choosing MTX to help reach the ultimate goal with your vehicle. Adding MTX amplifiers and matching MTX speakers and subwoofers with StreetWires connections will put you in a better position to hear, feel, and experience all of the music the artist intended.
  • Page 2 • Smart-Engage™ Auto-Turn-On - An auto-turn-on circuit is included within the amplifier. A remote turn-on wire is not necessary when connecting the amplifier’s high level input to a high-powered source unit (car stereo). The amplifier will automatically turn on when music is received through this type of connection. Note: Smart Engage™...
  • Page 3: Before Starting

    Before Starting MTX recommends that you have your new Thunder amplifiers installed by an authorized MTX retailer, preferably MECP certified. If you do decide to do it yourself, make sure you have read the instructions carefully and have the following tools: •...
  • Page 4 3. Power Terminals – Please take proper measures during installation to protect the power wires as best you can. For example, when running the power cable from the vehicle’s battery through the firewall, use a firewall bushing for protection. Run the power wire through the interior of the vehicle under the carpet and to the amplifier.
  • Page 5 2. Adjusting the Gain Control – Before you start setting your amp gains, be sure to defeat all EQs (“off” position). You want to set the gain levels properly BEFORE applying any equalization. Start with the source unit’s volume around ¾ of the way up, and the gain on the amp all the way down (counter- clockwise).

    • Setting the Boost/Cut: Once you determined the loudest musical spot or range within the bass range of your sound system, start cutting until the response is smooth and even. You can also boost low spots within the musical range, but don’t go crazy with the boost knob. There is a lot of boost available, 12dB, but begin with a low boost setting (around 3dB) and try to stay below 6dB whenever possible.
