MTX 1500DX amplifier. like new conditon and it's been tested. This amp is in perfect working condition and excellent cosmetic condition as well. This is a powerful amplifier, and a heavy one so please understand the cost of shipping.

whats the going price on the mtx 1500dx ?

 
We wondered how long it would be before one of the big boys launched a class D subwoofer amp. MTX definitely fits the bill, and with the introduction of the 1500DX, it looks like they’ve jumped into the fray with both feet. The 1500DX features an internal crossover that’s continuously variable from 50 Hz to 200 Hz, up to 18 dB of bass boost, optional External Bass Control, and, of course, a single channel of class D output.

 
Performance

If the Soviet military ever produced a car audio amp, it probably would have looked a lot like this one — an uninspiring black box. Like an AK-47, the 1500DX isn’t much to look at, but the output is a real attention-getter. Aesthetics be ****ed, pretty amps are for losers who can’t make the juice! True beauty is relative to efficiency and output power into 2 ohms! What a philosophy. At nearly a kilowatt of output and 66.5 percent efficiency at 1/3 power, the 1500DX’s communist bloc appearance seems to change into something more like understated elegance. These numbers should be enough to make it quite attractive to any bass head. To the SPL competitor tired of trying to feed the current demands of a huge bank of class A/B amps, this puppy makes Marilyn Monroe look like Madeline Allbright.
