Exclusive MTX Factory Tour | SSA Style!

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

I was invited down to the MTX factory by the ex-CEO of MTX, who the the son of the owner of MiTek USA. He has been a long time fan of SSA (closet browser). He owns "Magnum Sales Southwest". Which is a distribution center for many many brands.

If you're in Phoenix Area and cannot find any decent power wire (like me), contact these guys!

Actually, they build all of their amps in house! I didn't know that either, was very very refreshing to see a USA built amplifier. Good stuff.

Very solid Amps, I personally like the 4kd they have.

That brought back memories for me of when I worked for an Alpine OEM factory. I used to run a board chip placement machine for honda and chrysler factory radios. They shut it down and moved the whole operation to Mexico...FTL!

Loved my thunder 5000's, loved my 801D (which I still have), absolutely despised my thunder 8000's turned me off to MTX woofers. I wouldn't have a problem buying another MTX amp though.

they have always made a great amp. I like them even MORE now that I know they are built in the USA.

and its only going to get worst.. thanks to the whole immigration reform LOL a lot of businesses cant afford buying product in american to sell in america so they outsource there products to other countries due to having to pay high wages and benefits to full citizen americans..

We (MTX AUDIO) build some of our amps in our Arizona factory. Some other are built in OUR China factory that we own 100%. We do not source our amps and in fact build some other peoples products (amps / subs) also. If Anyone is ever in Arizona I would be happy to give a tour of the factory and show you around Magnum Sales as we are in the same building as MTX and my family owns both companies. Next time I'm going to show Mark our R&D and how we design our Amp and Subs. BTW MTX 8500 and MTX 9500 subs are all built in the USA also Mark and I are going to do a little demo for each other

BTW I hated my MTX 8000 subs too BUT that was 8 years ago the 9500 rock now. Pontiac made the Aztec, Cadillac made the Catera and MTX made the 8000 We all have our occasional failure.

I owned the JH600 and the JH55 series woofers, i absolutely loved them. Their Customer service is grade A+++, i sent in an amplifier when it blew, it was months out of warranty and they fixed it for free and paid shipping back to me.

Would never regret buying another amplifier from them.
