Really? A dead brand? Since when? I hadn't heard this and the town I grew up in has a shop that deals MTX. The guys there tell me they still sell alot of MTX products. And that MTX still makes rock solid amps.nope... mtx is practically a dead brand, and kenwood is ehhhh.... if ur chasing after a mainstream solid amp brand do a rockfrod fosgate p1000 ot t1000....it will be worth the extra money
