CAR AUDIO 1999 MTX impag 3.32 5/09/01 15:10 Page 2 In the race to create top-notch, in-your-face ultra-clean car audio systems, winning isn’t enough. Pushing the limits is what separates champions from the ordinary. The MTX Car Audio products are engineered with true champion spirit. MTX amplifiers were the very first amplifiers to be certified by the technical wizards in the Autosound 2000 Test Labs. Ever since they were introduced, they’ve won hands down in every comparison of performance versus price. (Ha! We laugh in the face of the status quo!) And MTX products have been winning AutoSound Grand Prix Product of the Year honors all through the 90’s. That’s why, when we are ready for product development advice, we go to the experts – IASCA and world champions. The winners, who dominate the car audio competition scene. They talk. We listen. And the results are going to blow you away. High performance mono-block amplifiers. Subwoofers that’ll dare you to hurt them. Designed with the latest in engineering software programs. Very cool. To make sure that every MTX amplifier meets or exceeds its specifications, we run like a zillion tests before they ever make it out the door. And just to show you how serious MTX is about going beyond the ordinary, we put Tshirt or a cap inside every Thunder or Blue Thunder amplifier. (Now how cool is that!) Three different lines of amplifiers, all made in MTX factories in USA. Easy to say it, much more difficult to do it. Some of you will probably ask himself: “why?”. Read this small guide, and you will understand it. You will see how carefully matched these amplifiers are to your varying requirements for power and features. One of the first things you’ll notice about the new Blue Thunder amplifiers is how cool they look. You see, we have quite a legend to uphold in these products. AutoSound Grand Prix Product of the Year for 6 consecutive years. Dominance in car audio competitions (Blue Thunder has been the amp of choice in the MTX Thunder Force Mustang, that tours the country on a “trophy round up” in IASCA competitions). We’re manifesting the championship legend in the look of these amps. They are born to win in every competition. The Thunder high-power, low noise amplifiers are fully loaded. Advanced computerized protection circuitry. Euro-style heatsink with rich, gold logos (in powder coat black). Designed with the latest in engineering software programs. Very cool. The dream of every car audio enthusiast. The new Road Thunder amplifiers were designed with the same technology approach that has earned MTX amplifiers awards, honors and testimonials from reviewers worldwide. Made for one purpose: to make it possible for everyone to make the first step into the magical world of MTX car audio. MTX impag 3.32 5/09/01 15:10 Page 3 Blu Thunder Amplifiers INSIDE A BLUE THUNDER AMP TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS N-Channel Vfet Output Stage produces less distortion than complementary (N and P) designs. Anti-Shock PCB Mounting Design enhances reliability by minimizing circuit board stress. High and Low Level Inputs for maximum flexibility in system design.

Heatsink—New aggressive but sleek look heatsink. A drop-dead gorgeous, tinted-gray heatsink with an elegant, semi-gloss finish. And the bright blue LED completes the whole package (we’ve had some complaints that the LED is too bright -- our response is, “if it’s too bright, you’re too old!). 2. The Circuit Board— We start with a raw circuit board, and add each of the components. Many components are inserted using a high-speed auto-insertion machine, for consistency of manufacture and high reliability of the product. Larger parts are inserted by one of our trained technicians. To be sure your amplifier delivers the power you demand, we use only the finest components. Like low impedance, high power transformers, for cooler operation. And we use a patented PWM MOSFET Switching Power Supply, for excellent sonic reproduction. The larger output MOSFETS ensure reliability and performance. On the Blue Thunder Amplifier Circuit Board we even use a new technique that actually “floods” the circuit board with copper, for substantially higher current capability, lower distortion, and increased reliability. 3. The Birth Certificate – each of the Blue Thunder amplifiers is tested to make sure it meets or exceeds its rated specifications, and our technicians sign the Certified Performance Certificate.

It’s time to streamline. The new Thunder5400X has five, count ‘em, five channels. MADE IN THE USA Four Channel Amplifier The Thunder4300X 4-channel amplifiers offers enhanced system design flexibility. Four of the channels feature an 18dB/octave Butterworth defeatable and continuously variable crossover (50Hz - 200Hz). The front channel has a 40x frequency multiplier (50-200Hz/2000-8000Hz). The fifth channel is a dedicated, class D subwoofer channel, with an 18 dB/octave low-pass crossover (Butterworth, continuously variable, 50-200Hz). Class D is an important classification in the amplifier world (and what a zany world it is). Class D means, quite simply, more power, used more efficiently. Your power goes to driving speakers, not to heating up the heat sink (if you want excess heat, build a fire.) The 5400 also features the EBC Port (external bass control) for fast bass adjustment. The front and rear crossovers are 18dB/octave, continuously variable between 50Hz and 200Hz high pass or low pass, giving you several options in setting up your system. THUNDER5400X RMS Power measured at 12.5 Volts DC: Front & Rear 25 watts x 4 into 4 Ohms with less than 0.1% THD+N 50 watts x 4 into 2 Ohms with less than 0.3% THD+N 100 watts Bridged x 2 into 4 Ohms less than 0.3% THD+N Subwoofer 100 watts into 4 Ohms with less than 0.3% THD+N 200 watts into 2 Ohms with less than 0.5% THD+N Dynamic Power (IHF-202 standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC: 65 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load 125 watts x 4 into a 2 Ohm load 250 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load Subwoofer 150 watts x 1 into a 4 Ohm load 300 watts x 1 into a 2 Ohm load Signal to Noise Ratio: ≥100dB A-Weighted Damping Factor: >200 Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz ± 0.25dB Thunder EQ: Variable Bass Boost (0-18dB) centered at 40Hz Crossover (front): Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP Defeatable with 40X Frequency Multiplier Crossover (rear): Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP Defeatable Crossover (Subwoofer): Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, LP) Dimensions: 15”x 9”x 2” (38.1cm x 22.8cm x 5cm) 16-1/4” Wide Including IsoFeet (41.3cm ) The new symmetrical power supply allows for better thermal distribution. The “sum output” jacks on this four-channel amplifier provide a line level summed output of the right front/right rear and left front/left rear input signals. This output is typically used to drive an external subwoofer amplifier. THUNDER4300X RMS Power measured at 12.5 Volts DC: 37.5 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N 75 watts x 4 into a 2 Ohm load with less than 0.3% THD+N 150 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load less than 0.3% THD+N Dynamic Power (IHF-202 standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC: 90 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load 165 watts x 4 into a 2 Ohm load 325 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load Signal to Noise Ratio: ≥110dB A-Weighted Damping Factor: >200 Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz ± 0.25dB Thunder EQ: Variable Bass Boost (0-18dB) centered at 40Hz Crossovers: Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP or LP configurable Dimensions: 13”x 9”x 2” (33cm x 22.8cm x 5cm) 14-1/4” Wide Including IsoFeet (36.2cm) ® MTX impag 3.32 5/09/01 15:10 Page 5 THUNDER225HO Two Channel Amplifiers What it Takes to Win The Thunder225HO is a low impedance, HighOutput amplifier. It’s what you need when you want power, and lots of it. With individual gain controls for left and right, and 2 sets of RCA connectors, this amplifier has one characteristic that sets it apart from others in its class – it delivers extremely clean sonic performance. USA THUNDER2150X 18dB/octave, continuously variable crossover (on Thunder250X, Thunder275X, Thunder2150X, and Thunder2300X) with reverse outputs. For example, when you have the crossover set to low-pass, you have a high-pass output. This makes it much easier to connect multi-amplifer systems. Symmetrical power-supply (on Thunder2150X and Thunder2300X) distributes the heat evenly across the amplifier. This makes it more reliable (meaning, it plays louder). Individual Gain Controls to center up the soundstage. Giant MOSFETS (we’re not exaggerating – they’re huge). A larger MOSFET means power supply stability, and a more reliable product. 8 Volt RMS Input - This large signal capability allows for better integration with high voltage output source units, increased dynamic range, and better Signal-to-Noise ratio in the audio system. Continuously Adjustable Thunder EQ bass boost, centered at 40Hz. To severely boost the low-end, and the attention you get from other drivers and innocent bystanders. Unique Split Shield bottom plate design, reduces electro-magnetic interference, to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce distortion. This design is so hot, we patented it so others can’t leech off our genius.

The Thunder225HO will deliver up to 700 watts of power, to keep those subs pounding up the dB meter. ® RMS Power measured at 12.5 Volts DC: 75 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.05% THD+N 150 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N 300 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N Dynamic Power (IHF-202 standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC: 120 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load 212 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load 425 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load Signal to Noise Ratio: ≥110dB A-Weighted Damping Factor: >200 Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz ± 0.25dB Thunder EQ: Variable Bass Boost (0-18dB) centered at 40Hz Crossover: Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP or LP configurable with reverse outputs Dimensions: 9”x 9”x 2” (22.8cm x 22.8cm x 5cm) 10-1/4” Wide Including IsoFeet (26cm) THUNDER275X RMS Power measured at 12.5 Volts DC: 37.5 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.05% THD+N 75 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N 150 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load with less than 0.1% THD+N Dynamic Power (IHF-202 standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC: 90 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load 165 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load 325 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load Signal to Noise Ratio: ≥110dB A-Weighted Damping Factor: >200 Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz ± 0.25dB Thunder EQ: Variable Bass Boost (0-18dB) centered at 40Hz Crossover: Variable 50Hz to 200Hz, 18dB/Octave, HP or LP configurable with reverse outputs Dimensions: 8”x 9”x 2” (20.3cm x 22.8cm x 5cm) 9-1/4” Wide Including IsoFeet (23.5cm) MTX impag 3.32 5/09/01 15:23 Page 6 7 7 Large Signal Crossovers Common Technology Platform We called the LSX1 and LSX2 “Large Signal Crossvers” because of their ability to accept up to an 8 volt RMS input signal for integration with high voltage output source units or line drivers. This means noise-free performance. 18 dB/octave slope for greater protection to midranges and tweeters by decreasing overexcursion at low frequencies. Continuously adjustable crossover points, for extreme flexibility. Wire harnesses for speaker level input allow easier integration with OEM systems. ISO-FEET™ mounting platform eliminates chassis-to-chassis ground loops. 1 Meg Ohm Isolation maintained between the Signal Ground and Power Supply Ground (eliminates ground loop noise) External Bass Control (EBC) port connects to optional dash-mountable EBC unit, for external bass control. Buffered output stage with 100 ohm output impedance, to drive multiple amplifiers with ease. LSX1 Large Signal Crossover (2-Way) Continuously Variable Low and High Pass Outputs between 30-400Hz High Pass, and 20-200 Hz Low Pass. LSB1 Our one-of-a-kind MTX LSB1, (a.k.a. “the Black Box”) is a dual function, multi-purpose signal and remote turn-on processor. One of its primary functions is to allow you to easily switch between two different subwoofer amplifier signal paths, for either sound quality listening or SPL listening. (“LS” refers to Large Signal, or the ability of the device to accept up to a 10 volt RMS input signal). Note: Unlike the infamous Black Box that tells what happens in a plane crash, the only thing the LBS1 will tell about you is that you have superior taste in audio equipment. Sound Quality Listening The low noise (Signal-to-Noise ratio better than 105 dB) attenuator is typically used for the sound quality testing portion of an IASCA competition, or for listening preferences that emphasize sonic reproduction. SPL Listening The SPL setting routes the signal through a high pass filter. This allows you to boost a narrow band of frequencies (typically at the “in-car resonance” of the system, or the port tuning frequency of a vented system) to play obscenely loud without damaging your woofers. Turn-on/Turn-off Delay This feature allows you to delay turn-on of amplifiers and turn-off of signal processors to prevent transient noise. Or, it can delay turn-on/turnoff of a system’s moving parts. The LSB-1 also features our patented Split Shield™ bottom plate design and the MTX ISO-FEET™ non-conductive mounting feet to prevent chassis-to-chassis ground loops (parent #5,521,792). LSX2 Large Signal Crossover (2-Channel 3-Way, or 4-Channel 2-Way) EBC Dual High Pass Outputs. The front is continuously adjustable on a scale of either 30-400 Hz or 600-8000 Hz, depending on the setting of the multiplier switch. Rear High Pass is continuously variable from 30-400 Hz. Low Pass is continuously variable from 20-200Hz. Front and rear low impedance inputs so you can add to an existing factory stereo system and keep the factory front to rear fader. Phase reversal switch (180˚) for greater flexibility in system integration. The External Bass Control (EBC) can be wired directly to the LSX Crossovers, and to certain Thunder amplifier models.

Ultra Long Throw Piston Design—a 1.65” tall voice coil. In fact, the 2 ohm uses 22 gauge wire in the voice coil winding. The insulation is rated at a 180 degree Celsius retained bond strength. Extra Long Pole Piece—it’s way-extended and helps keep the voice coil centered during this speaker’s enormously long excursions. Even at full excursion, the entire voice coil remains around the pole piece, for extra heat dissipation. There’s also a clear zinc chromate finish plating on the pole piece. The Congruent edge technology on the gasket/surround helps the speaker handle the demands placed on it. Physical structure allows for a 2 1/2” peak-to-peak travel. That eliminates the possibility of the spider bottoming out. Constructed to handle up to 1500 watts total power.

Quite simply, winners will choose Thunder7000 because when it comes to winning, there’s no limit to how low MTX will go – and we mean that in the best sense. WOOF. Thunder7000 subwoofers are like wolves in sheeps’ clothing. They innocently slip into your smallest sealed enclosure without taking up a whole lot of trunk space, but turn them on and they give deep, loud, snarling bass that threatens to rip your face off. Hot Isn’t Always Cool. Asymmetrical Linear Drive technology, used throughout the Thunder series, promises high output with low distortion. And these subs are packed with features to help dissipate heat (repeat: “Overheated speakers are NOT our friends”). They’ve got a rugged die cast frame, an enormous magnet structure (102 ounces), and a 2.5” hightemperature, 4-layer voice coil (8-layer on the 15”). If you didn’t know, more copper means better thermal power handling. (For example, the T7158 has 475 feet of copper.) All these features add to the cool factor – literally. EXCLUSIVE! Mad Scientists Breed Killer Spiders! MADE IN THE USA One of the biggest challenges in spider design is to maximize the linear region of the speaker’s movement. We performed extensive Finite Element Analysis (high-tech testing) on the spider and found that the best design was a “five roll” spider design. We call it Computer Optimized Progressive Roll spider (COPR for short). Picture of Strength T7104 2-1/2” 4 Layer Voice Coil on Kapton MTB Former T7104 Description: 10” Subwoofer Freq.

MTX introduces a clever mix of leading edge technology (including MTX’s Asymmetrical Linear Drive System). These new subwoofers were designed to play DEEP, LOW, BASS in a variety of enclosures: sealed, vented or bandpass. For example, the 8” will play in a sealed enclosure as small as .25 cu foot. With 4, 8, or 12 ohm impedance options, the installation possibilites are virtually endless. Extreme Power Handling Levels Oversized magnet structure, a four-layer voice coil and black Kapton voice coil formers keep these subwoofers ready and eager to play. Acoustically Stable for accurate Sonic Reproduction Black, polyether foam surrounds with paper pulp cone. Gold plated speaker connectors offer secure connections. The black EPDM gasket makes a tight seal when rear mounted, and a cosmetic nicety when front mounted. Sleek yet Rugged Looks Black Spider, with black plated front plate, black plate and pole piece.

That’s why Thunder5000 components are specially designed to enhance the realism of the music (we’re serious about sound, ya know. It’s our motto). The extended, vented pole piece provides a symmetrical magnetic field and enables higher power handling. Matched crossover components feature a steep high pass crossover slope with PTC tweeter protection T54S and T55S – 12 dB/octave high pass T56S –18dB high pass and 6dB low pass. The 1” soft dome tweeter with neodymium magnet provides improved frequency response (better sound) with a small magnet, so it fits in its space. And, Ferrofluid keeps them cool. A shallow mounting depth on the midrange speakers allows greater installing flexibility, which is really important.

Thunder5000 mobile enclosures take the original concept – easily installed, portable bass for your car – and add a completely new approach to ensure that these enclosures fit in almost every vehicle on the road today. And each of our new models has a plexiglas viewing window, for a custom-built enclosure appearance.

The TriSub fits virtually all hatchbacks, and is a perfect fit for the new Camaros and Firebirds. With total power handling of up to 1500 watts, it’ll take whatever you give (and probably ask for more if it could speak). Single-Sub Wedge Enclosures The T510 and T512 are single-sub wedge enclosures with a small sealed enclosure design, for deep, low bass. 70 degree trapezoidal shape makes the most efficient use of available space. A 4 ohm mono design maximizes the output capability of your amplifiers. ® MTX impag 3.32 5/09/01 15:25 Page 11 Subwoofers Superior Power Handling The finest amplifiers deserve to be paired with superior quality subwoofers and component systems. Thunder3000 subwoofers feature the same Asymmetrical Linear Drive System, common to all Thunder Loudspeakers (the flat progressive spider, combined with the extended, vented pole piece). We’ve added some other touches to make sure these speakers perform way, way, past your expectations. The Voice Coil is wound on a Black Kapton former for high power handling. The strontium ferrite magnet yields a highly efficient speaker (more efficient means better use of your amplifier power). Way Cool Looks These subwoofers will please all you fashion plates out there.
