So I went into a shop that I sometimes drop into to check things out maybe pick up some new RCAs, just throw some business at the locals and I see they are hugely into MTX.

So whats the deal with MTX these days? I mean the place had this new sales kid that was spouting off how Alpine, PG, RF (this I can believe), and some others are not even close to the quality of the new MTX. I have nothing against MTX but I always remembered them as being sort of somewhere between Sony and Alpine in terms of overall quality. I thought these amps were basically a step above entry level equipment?

It may have been just the sales kid but the guy was razzing my system telling me that his MTX gear would blow it away, etc. If this is true I really got to sell my stuff and buy some of this MTX thats like half the price of mine...

I run...
PG Xenon 200.4 4-channel amp
Alpine 9831 h/u
Alpine Type X 2-ways
Alpine type R subs
PG 31band EQ

Whats your question?


I Like MTX amps.
Great tech support.

what this shop called? and where?

The MTX product is great. But I wouldn't shop anywhere that they cut down other brands or brands you use.

Is the MTX stuff is good as they say it is? Does a MTX system beat mine?

depends on aplication. a properly installed clif, visonik, blah blah (anything xs cargo) system could sound better than a poorly installed pg system or alpine. mtx is decent, i'd never trade my pg, alpine or avi for it. but its ok.

Unfortunately that would cut out 9 out of 10 shops I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot in my 14 years in this game.
I'm not starting a rant on this but really how many times have you gone to a new shop and heard the salesman say "No keep that stuff you have it's great gear"?
Most of the time if they don't sell it then it isn't as good and if they haven't heard of it it is crap and should be taken out immediately.
Sorry I guess that was a bit of a rant.

Anyways, as was stated MTX has some great gear with good customer service. And so does PG, RF, Alpine, etc.

i bet it's from the future, like some kinda future... shop or something </font>[/QUOTE]haha nice dig at the shop there mega. not all fs's are bad. cough...cough...langley

Well if it's a FS they don't even carry the best MTX equipment available.

I have told many customers that what they had was good, and didn't need replacing.

just wanted to know if it was a shop other than FS. FS only carries up 6001 in amps, just wanna know if there are any other shops that carry the mtx full line.

Nothing wrong with MTX. It's quality stuff. Doesn't have the snob factor of some other lines, but it's solid.

I find myself instantly more comfortable with a shop when they see that I am using decent gear, acknowledge it and they don't try to convince me I need to upgrade it with a brand that they carry.

But snob factor makes stuff the best there is evar donchaknow. MTX continues to impress me each time I get to play with it......awaiting the new amps at this time....... still waiting....... are they here yet? ........

Not sure how long you have been into car audio, but all those brands mentioned including MTX have always been and are still excellent brands. I have used everyone of them many times over the last 20 plus years and have had absolutely no problems with any of them. As for the Rockford comment; I am more impressed with my RF stuff than any other I own and would never think twice about using their gear for any install...mild to wild. There's a reason why these brands have been around as long as they have and still continue to dominate the market place...They provide high quality, state of the art technology and reliability for a reasonable price.

It sounds like he went to a local independent shop and not the "evil chain store: Future Shop" :rolleyes:

MTX makes excellent gear. I would put their amps against anyones and if their new comps are half of their propaganda then that would be the last piece of the Mitek puzzle. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
