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 load, temperature of heatsink, and transformers. Exhaust from the internal heatsink
is strategically positioned to cool the transformers to 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.
• 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 when
using a factory head unit.
Note: Smart Engage™ is only active on the left input.
4. Input Sensitivity – The Input Sensitivity switch is used to set the proper input voltage range:

    • +12V – The power wire from this connection must be attached to the positive side of the vehicle battery. 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 3 Connections 1. Bi-Level Inputs (Low/High Level Input) with Smart Engage™ – Both a low and high level signal can be used. Be sure to lay the signal wire away from all power cables and vehicle computers. Use high quality twisted pair interconnect cables to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system.
  • Page 4 Also, by having a larger diameter ground wire, the amplifier can run more efficiently. MTX recommends using a minimum of 4 gauge power and ground cables to get the best performance. • REM: This connection turns the amplifier on and off and needs to be connected to a remote turn-on wire from your source unit if you are using a low level input connection.

    • Selecting The EFX Feature: You can switch Prizm EFX lighting to “pulsate” with beat of music. Simply depress the button labeled PRIZM EFX located in the in the MTX PRIZM EFX section of the control panel to turn this feature on or off.
