"It is in perfect working order"

that's directly from the ad.

and i wouldn't expect more than a hundred or so watts if it is in fact underrated.

"MTX Thunder 152

2-channel power amplifier

This is a USED 2-channel amp from MTX. MADE IN THE USA. It is in perfect working order. I have bench tested the amp to assure NO DOA. Cosmeticaly it is in Very Good condition with only some scratches that have been touched up. Full diagram of amp is on the base of the amp to make installation a breeze. Original box and manual are not included.

37.5Wx2 into 4 ohms (75Wx2 Peak)

75Wx2 into 2 ohms (150Wx2 Peak)

150W RMS bridged into 4 ohms

325Watts Dynamic Power Bridged into 4 Ohms (14.4VDC)

110 dB Signal to Noise Ratio

Crossover, variable 40Hz to 200Hz, 12dB/octave high-pass, 24dB/octave low pass

Bass boost @40Hz 0-18dB

Can run in 3-channel Bridged/Stereo Mode

Recommended application: Best for running a pair of 6x9", 6.5" etc in stereo, or wire the amp mono to an efficient single woofer in an enclosure. Built-in x-over will allow all applications.

it's impossible to tell. get a dmm and measure the amps terminals. you'll get a reading if it's working. if it's not, then it's messed up. but that "whoo whoo" could be alt whine.

Dude if you're not 100% sure it works then leave it alone. I love MTX (I'm using 3 of 'em), but you can get it anywhere! Those amps are all over the place. If you like that particular model you can find another I'm positive. I would just tell your buddy thanks but no thanks.

Also most MTX amps have an unregulated power supply and are rated at 12.5 volts, so usually they will put out considerably more power when you put them in your car.
