Strength:
Crisp power and lots of it. It definitly has enough to power a decent size sub. The numbers on the website are HALF of the actual rms output. I am running an image dynamics 10" IDQ10d4 in my homemade box and it sounds amazing. You cant beat this for the price. It has a seperate class D sub amp, so it's more like 2 amps in one. External bass control is also supported.
Weakness:
This thing blew on me in 3 weeks. I blame my installation since the signal comes off of my ford jbl premium sound amps, goes through three high low converters, then finally hits the mtx amp (trust me, I tried all other ways, and even audio shops said this was the only way to install it). I think I set the sub freq too high, but I'm not certain. Two weeks later, I got it back and pluged it in and it has been runngin strong (new settings: higher loc gains, lower amp gains, lower freq on sub) for over a month now. I saw this on clearance at good guys and I grabbed it. Since I have never dealt with car audio before, I spent time researching and finally installed it on my own. I expected better sound when I turned it on, I got 10 times more than what I expected. You'll know how good sound sounds, and you're skin will feel it too and I'm not talking about from the bass. This amp is awesome. Definitly feed this baby with a 4 gauge power wire, dont let a cheapo shop try selling you 8 ga. It's better to do it right the first time. Similar Products Used: None, I was considering the sony 1805gsx, but this one seemed better. I never listened to either before buying the mtx. I'm a car audio newbie. |

Thunder 5400
Strength:
MANY features - makes setting up all speakers VERY easy, and sounds GREAT! no distortion at all!
Weakness:
people think 5 channel amps are too weak for anything.... This amp is great! i thought it wasn't going to be powerful enough to run everything, but once i got the 4 gauge power wire and 12 gauge speaker wire set up, built my own box for a single MTX 12in sub, and this amp is CRAZY! it bumps till i can't take it no more! the unit has 3 25amp fuses, meaning you gotta push 75 amps to blow it... i don't think i've gone past 50amps, if that... it has all the power i'll ever need |

blue thunder pro 5ch/800w special ed. amplifier
Strength:
great, clean sound, no distortion
Weakness:
i don't know of any as of yet this product is one of the best amplifiers on the markert. it powers my whole system w/o distortion. im running a component system, 6x9's, and a 12" sub with no problems. It looks great too! MTX is probably the best company for amplifiers and compares and competes with other high end mobile companies like alpine, nakamichi and a/d/s/ for amplifiers. please note that the specs that MTX gives for these 5ch amps are way underrated. im getting closer to 40Wx4ch + 225Wx1ch, which is about double what mtx claims. the 5th channel is very powerful, so don't shy away from a 5ch amp just because you think this amp wont deliver the power for your sub(s). the best part of all is i only paid $189 for this $650+ amp new w/warranty. Its a great amp and mtx is a fine company! Similar Products Used: None |

The MTX 5400 multichannel amp is hot. The strength of this amp will astound you. Well built, and very capable of driving two JL W3s in a box in the trunk. I could not be happier. This MTX kicks serious butt.
Weakness:
None I paid $399 for the MTX 5400 amp and could not be happier. Loud and clean, well built and mean. Similar Products Used: None |
