*Under-rated. *Small footprint
Weakness:
*Runs rather hot when driving subs. My first amplifier. This amp is under rated (as are all MTX amps).

Strength:
Under rated.
Weakness:
None yet hopefully knock on wood. I love it and like everyone else said it is under rated because it pushes my 2 10" infinity subs with a power rating of 250 rms and 1000 watt peak power and a pioneer 460 watt wouldnt push them. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
Way way way underrated.
Weakness:
None. I tell you what: I bought this amp as a newbie. I paid 175 for it, which was a little more than what I could have gotten it for if I would have looked in the right place... but it ran my 2 Clarion 10''s to hell. They sounded great. Right now I have 4 12''s, and I''m getting really into caraudio, and that amp is still great. It runs my 2 Fosgate 12''s awesome. Similar Products Used: I have a RockfordFosgate Punch 120.2 and it doesnt even compare. |

Strength:
I have a 90' jeep cherokee and wish I could put it into something like a honda civic because a sub in a jeep is like a sub inside a box, inside a bigger box and you can barely hear it outside the car but once you sit inside it will make you blink without effort.
Weakness:
It's hard at first to tweak because there are no marks for where your frequency and inputs are... Powering a Sony XS-1230 (12 in./max 450 watts). The sub is in a 2 cubic foot sealed box. Similar Products Used: wouldn't bother with any other sub under $200... |

Strength:
Very loud. Very under rated. The birth sheet blew away stated specs.
Weakness:
None so far. Running this amp in bridge mode pushing Sony XLS1230. Sounds very good. Makes the windows in my Storm Shake. Would recommend to anyone. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Loud for it's class, Small very compact, Doesn't get very hot.
Weakness:
It's junk after a few months and blows up all your speakers, This is my second time returning this Amp, First time it melted fuses, now it blew up my POLK DX. I got a new MTX 6000 10" and it blew that before I left the parking lot. I concidering going with Liner Power amp, they r stronger and last way the hell longer, 6 year Warent. It's good if you only want an amp for 3 months. Similar Products Used: Kenwood PS 100, Lanzar 420 |

Strength:
nice size! i bought mine to run a rockford fosgate punch sub and it did the job 118 db is what mine read on the papers it is way under rated hard to believe this amp could push a 12 this good!
Weakness:
nothing well i sold mine because i bought a 10 inch kicker square sub and it pushed it but...... that was it i am moving up to the thunder 302 because it will push 425 at 14.4 volts this will go better with sub .. Similar Products Used: probably the best sounding amp i used speaker level imputs and it still sounded good!! i have had kicker soundstream lanzar sony |

Strength:
WAY more power than it is rated, size, tweakability
Weakness:
the cutoff knob is not marked with frequency increments. Neither is any other knob. THis makes it hard to tweak except by listening. A shame, because this is otherwise a great amp, especially for the money. This is the best overall two channel amp you will find under $200. I would recommend this amp to anyone. This thing is way more powerful than it claims to be. MTX really lowers their numbers for everything. Similar Products Used: used with kenwood ps709 excelon reciever, two rockford fosgate punch 12's |
