MTX Audio Thunder342 Amplifiers 

DESCRIPTION

ThunderEQ bass enhancement makes the Thunder342 2-channel amp a great candidate for powering a subwoofer: you get 340 watts RMS in bridged mode, plus the ThunderEQ bass boost (up to 18 dB at 40 Hz)! Or, drive a pair of power-hungry component (or full-range) speakers with 85 watts RMS per channel, using the variable high-pass crossover. Speaker-level inputs let you integrate this amp with nearly any system, even your factory radio.

  • 85 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
  • 170 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
  • 340 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms
  • stereo or bridged mono output
  • 4-ohm stable in bridged mode
  • Tri-Way capable
  • requires 8-gauge power and ground leads wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
  • PWM MOSFET switching power supply
  • Intelligent Surface Mount Technology for cleaner sound and greater reliability
  • variable (40-200 Hz) high-pass/low-pass crossovers (12 dB/octave in high-pass mode, 24 dB/octave in low-pass mode)
  • ThunderEQ Bass Enhancement (0-18 dB bass boost at 40 Hz)
  • preamp outputs
  • speaker-level inputs with SmartEngage (turns the amp on when it detects signal from the receiver, eliminating the need for a separate turn-on lead from your receiver)
  • 10-3/4"W x 2-1/8"H x 9-13/16"D

Strength:

-good for a starter -looks good

Weakness:

-bad heat distribution (shuts off after about 3 hours of running running pretty loud) -to pricey

This a great amp for starters or people just looking to add a little bass to you car audio system. This amp doesn't get you ear aching bass, but it isn't bad running at 340 watts RMS at 4 ohms. I had this powering 2 10' MTX Roadthunders and it sounded great. After about 6 months one channel broke so i was stuck with only one channel. :( Upgraded to a Fosgate 501bd and an Infinity Perfect 12.1 sub.
