How To Use This Manual - MTX Thunder4250D Owner's Manual

CONGRATULATIONS
on your purchase of a new MTX
Thunder Amplifier! MTX has long
been the industry leader in mobile
enclosures and speakers, and we
have reached new heights with the
development of the new MTX Thunder
amplifiers. You couldn't have chosen
a more reliable, powerful, or better
performing amplifier - In fact, we
back up every Thunder amplifier with
a three-year warranty if installed by
an authorized MTX retailer (see the
warranty statement on page 34).
Your new MTX Thunder amplifier was
designed, built and thoroughly tested at our
state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing
facility in Phoenix, Arizona. We manufacture
every amplifier using the latest intelligent
Surface Mount Technology. Some of the
advantages of the new design are its signifi-
cant improvements to the amplifier's electri-
cal and mechanical properties. ISMT
devices feature substantially shorter internal
and external lead lengths. This reduces stray
capacitance and inductance, which results
in cleaner and more accurate musical repro-
duction with significantly less noise interfer-
ence. The ISMT mounter produces amplifier
boards with smaller and lighter components,
which are more resistant to vibrations inher-
ent in the automotive environment.
A word about power ratings. It is important for you
to know how they stack up. MTX has chosen the
most honest, most conservative way to rate our
amps. We show you the RMS power, at 12.5 volts,
and dynamic power at 14.4 volts. However, we go
above and beyond the call of duty. We test each
amplifier. The technician records the "actual"
power output, and records this number on your
Certified Performance Certificate. The amplifier
must meet or exceed the rated specification
before we'll ship it. No questions. No exceptions.
We want to ensure you get continuous
high performance from your MTX Thunder
amplifier, so we recommend that you
have it professionally installed by your
authorized MTX dealer.
