MTX Amps?

[xstatic26x 10+ year member]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a new amp, and the MTX Thunder 500d amp looks to be in my power range. Anyway, after being a casual observer of ebay, it looks like I'm seeing more non-functioning ones for sale than functioning properly ones...is there a quality issue with MTX's amps or am I just making this up?

Let me know your experiences/knowledge

Thanks guys

The amps are fine.

Was just an observation of mine, maybe a lot of people just use them incorrectly.

Just wanted to be sure before I got one

Mtx's amps are great they are underrated (most of them) and they are very reliable and durable amps.

Anyone have anything against getting an MTX Reconditioned amp for an authorized retailer? Comes w/ a 90-day warranty...is this a good idea, or a bad one?

Brother got a 1000d(basically a 1501) refurbed, prolly from same place. For $220 shipped, it's pretty dam nice imo.

both my mtx amps were from ebay, 801d was refurbed and the mxa6004 new in box. great amps for my basic factory system upgrade.

Mine ran for four years in my trunk, in two different cars, in the Florida heat (until they got stolen). I'll be replacing the stolen MTX amps with new MTX amps this Friday.

IMO, they are great amps for the money.

GOOD amp! The MXA's we used to sell...i still like the thunder amps myself...heheeh

Im the proud owner of 2 of the old MTX 2300X amps. God those things are great amps! Sure they get hot, but they are supposed to - that's just the heatsink doing its job! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

be VERY wary of the amp that doesnt heat up!!!!
