Amp inside electrical problems mtx

Inspect speaker for loose wires/broken wires. Check inside box for loose connection. Blown fuse on amp. Ive literally pulled the wires out of the speaker. The little mesh ones from the terminal to the cone. Look for that. If you do find something broken or bad. remember you can call MTX and fix for a flat rate on most evrything they carry. Ive sent several amps there. normally around $100

The problem was caused by you trying to run a 2OHM load on an amplifier which is designed to run only on 4OHM when it is bridged, the amplifier is most definatley cooked. An authorized MTX technician should take a look at it, to determine just how wide spread the damage is.

sounds like you may have a bad torroid (the donut looking thing). you may also have a bad ground connection. make sure you have completely bare metal where the ground connection is. you need a very clean connection.

the transistor that mount to the amps body (heat sink) inside. most common issue with these.

Hello t3h_b,

The MTX web site shows the amp as a current product.

http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/ sells the amp and claims to have it in stock. However, MTX lists only 2 authorized online resellers:
www.crutchfield.com and www.sonicelectronix.com

Crutchfield doesn't list the amp at all and SonicElectronix shows it as "discontinued". I'd recommend going to MTX's contact page and ask them directly. They'll usually respond within a day or two.

Hope this helps.

you have to send it to mtx. Most repair shops wont touch it. You can call mtx i had the same amp. It cost about 85 bucks plus shipping. the 85 bucks covered return shipping also.go to there web site it has the info for tech support and repair issue there. hope this helps

I had same problem with a TC6001 and get solution from MTX, not send to MTX instead MTX kindly sent a quotation for parts to be replaced, I can tell you what parts need to be replaced if you still need a solution.

Depending on where you live, Car Tunes is a good place to fix it but it might cost a good amount. I have a mtx 1501XD and the same problem, lights but no sound i saw no marks inside mine however. They told me i was better off buying a new one bc it was going to cost so much to fix most likely. That was coming from a guy I know so they were just trying to **** money out of me either, he does sound for a living.
