I was looking at some older MTX amps, the PRO752, and PRO3002, the blue and gold ones.



Anyone know how old these are? Any recommendations for them? Good build quality? Thanks!

Great performers. Underrated power wise and built very tough. Same specs as the Thunder amps.
PRO752=Thunder275
PRO3002=Thunder2300

MTX beefed up the amp a bit (new symmetrical power supply and larger MOSFET's) when they switched to the smooth heatsink design. They also made them 8v input capable and could now accept 4g cable.
These have the same features.
These are great performers and for some reason they don't seem to sell for the high price that the older MTX Thunder series do even though they perform just as well. So usually you can get them cheap and enjoy them if you find one that hasn't been beat on over the years. Lot's of 2300x's and 4300x's on Ebay lately for decent money.
Full specs available if you need them.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it! I might be picking up a pair of 752's and a 3002, along with the matching links to make it look like one big amp.

great amps! I ran a pro1502 for years! very under-rated amps. I sold it to a friend and it still works to this day. not the nicest looking amps, but they get the job done.

Not much to be honest. These amps really don't fetch much on Ebay or the forums.
I would say $75 would be fair for this amp in the stated condition.
