amp total power

Back when I first started in car audio as a hobby (in the early 90's), I was very turned off about MTX's amps. The sales guy at HH Gregg had told me at the time about their "dynamic" power rating/headroom and how they were so much better than the competition because of this fact. I immediately said "I think I'll look a round a little more, thanks" and haven't really given MTX a very serious thought since. Not saying that MTX isn't any good, it's just if that's what they were training their sales people to say, then they can count on me NOT being their customer.

I have to laugh at all the claims that I see in regards to wattage whenever I get the urge to look for something new. "760 total watts x 4!" when really it is more like 30 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms.

I am a true MTX fan, they do give you the true RMS ratings at 12.5 volts before they give you the dynamic power ratings at 14.4volts. A buddy of mine runs a Licenesed MTX repair facility and has tested many MTX amps over the years, even the very early models. They have all performed as stated by MTX. MTX is one of the reputable companies out there as far as ratings are concerned.

  I myself am looking to purchase an MTX 1501D mono amp to power my MTX 8104's. It is rated at 1000 watts RMS at 2omhs 12.5v and 1500 peak at 14.4. The amp will actually put out almost  1700 at 14.4v as tested by my friend and some of MTX's birth sheets will show this as well. MTX all the way.
