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.
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: X1 POSITION: 100mV–1V (Typically for RCA Input) X10 POSITION: 1V–10V (Typically for Speaker Level Input) 5. Stereo Gain Control – This feature is used to fine-tune the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the source unit’s output level.
  • Page 3: Installation Mounting

    Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery connection. Any deviation from the recommended connection procedures may cause serious damage to the amplifier, speakers, and/or vehicle electrical system. Please double check the connections before turning the system on. Installation Mounting Place your Thunder amplifier at the predetermined mounting location. Use a felt pen to mark the exact position of the mounting holes on the mounting surface.
