Has anybody had experience with these amps? i have found the stats for it, but i was wondering if it is 2 ohm stable?
My car does not put out 14 volts, so what i wanted to do is get a DVC 4 ohm sub so the amp will see a 2 ohm load.
Any help would be great!!
Thanks all

https://www.mtx.com/caraudio/archive/rt2200.cfm It's 2 ohm stereo stable, and 4 ohm bridged. Use a DVC 2 ohm in series or a SVC 4 ohm sub to bridge to this amp.

I've heard the amps. They are okay... Sound Quality could always be better but it still can push through some good sound.

I used to sell these amps and we moved a hole lot of em. They were pretty reliable and not bad as long as you were running a basic sub. Solid little amp for a 199.99 canadian retail.

WHAT?! alright, who abducted uthinkukno? i cannot believe what i just read. from the man that is so quick to recommend nakamichi to everyone who asks his (or anyone else's) advice. okay then... i would have to say that this amp is horrible! yes, i have first-hand experience, and yes, i sold a truckload of 'em. but you know, i cant step every bottom-feeder up to the nicer stuff. some just insist on a $125 amp. i even purchased one of them to put in a vehicle i was selling, and i wasnt ready to give up my jl 500/1. i get chills just thinking about it ------------- MECP certified, 5yrs experience, you probably otta listen bitch!!

Dedlyjedly, no one abducted me. For what you spend on this amp it really is ok. You could always get better (nakamichi of course but their are a million other companies out there MMATS, Cadence, JL, Mb Quart, US Amps, etc.) but for $199 CAN you really get an okay amp. Worth it to some, not worth it to others. Wasn't worth it to you, but some people don't know the difference in sound quality amongst amplifiers or that even such thing exists. What what you say and consider all of the ramifications before you make a statement like that. MTX is getting better every year in my opinion, and i am eager to hear the next batch of stuff to come.

O.K. everybody take a step back from the computer and read what i wrote!! Its a FREE AMP!!!!!! Nothing was paid for it IT WAS FREE!! FREE I TELL YA!!!
This is for my beater car any way!!
If i was going to do a system for a real car, i might and i might and might not use MTX?
But for a dream system i would use an old school ZAPCO or a U.S Amp! Or even a soundstream OLD school sub amp!
And ded how dare you talk the crap you are talking!! A bottom feeder? Screw you! You don't know me.
Hey did i say that that amp was TOTALLY FREE!!!!

Free is the best price to me, so i would use it especially. Why go out and spend a bunch of cash when you got a decent amp at home laying around right now? sure its worth the investment over time but temporarily the MTX will do you good. ------------- "I don't play games.

Thanks uthinkuknoaudio, I did not mean to piss anybody off but damn!!
Alot of people think that they are going to put a SUPREME system into everything! It's not always like that! If i could i would! But not in this car!

chucksnee, I dont think dedlyjedly was calling you a bottom feeder. I think what he was saying is that the reason why he sold a oat load of those amps is because he had a ton of customers come in not willing to spend any more money to bump up to a different amp. I wouldnt take that comment as personal but mabye I am wrong to I dont know. And my comment about the amp being 199 wasnt directed to you in particular, I was just stating what the amps retail price was when they were new. Free is always good and if it works for you situation then enjoy.
