I had an MTX RT2120 amp and MTX T6104 sub stolen out of my car a while back. They were in the car when I bought it, so I didn't go through the research as far as deciding what amp/sub combo to use. I do know that I was pretty happy with it though. I'm wondering if I should replace them with an identical set, or can I do better for the money, or do the same for less money? What might some better options be?

Ok, so I was just checking their website for info on the amp and sub. I found the specs on the sub, but looks like either they don't make the amp anymore, changed model numbers, or I got the model number wrong. Anyways, you all probably get the point of my question.

 

stick with MTX and you cant go wrong, i would go for new stuff from them just my $0.02

 

look at some of the MTX car audio products at Crutchfield.com
Maybe you'll see someother brand you may like, and they also have a outlet store in VA if you ever go a little bit north.

The only problem is that they don't sell Alpine stuff

P.S. Stay away from Sony ...

 

i bought a used MTX blue thunder amp off eBay for $70 shipped. this thing went for $300+ 3 or so years ago. they build pretty tough amps, so i wouldnt worry too much about a used one. i push mine beyond recommended limits (doing 2 ohms bridged) and this thing doesnt even blink.

 

from my experience the amps are ok, but the subs are total ****. just my opinion though. :-) I'd look at some infinity references,or Rockford DVC's. they are gonna be a little bit more but are all VERY good for the $$ I had an reference and now I have JL's, for a "budget" sub I don't personaly think you could do better.

I remember when i bought new stuff awhile back. what a rip off. now i buy stolen sealed in the package stuff that you cant beat. my first amp i bought was a new mtx 400 watt from circut city and it worked great. but dont buy new. my latest amp is a memphis i got for 100.00 and it retails for 600.00 brand new but stolen.

 

my friend has a subaru wagon with a 12" MTX thunder 5000 in a bandpass box with an MTX280 amp and it SLAMS. my other friend has a 15 MTX thunder 300 in a sealed box in his car with a boss amp and it sounds pretty nice too. I am pretty impressed with MTX.

 

I have a thunder 7000 12" sub and never liked it until I put 800 watts on it. I have a RT 2600 amp and it sounds pretty good now. But for the money I paid I could have had a really nice sub (not saying the mtx isn't) But something that would have sounded good on less power.

 

Replace it with ROCKFORD POWER SERIES.... Killer equipment!
