MTX JackHammer JH600 Car Audio Amplifier Logo

My MTX JH600 works intermittently. I don't hear the fans coming on at all and the amp doesn't seem to get hot. Even at low power the amp will turn off all of a sudden and then boom back on after a minute or two. It comes back on and really booms the speakers hard right when it turns back on. Scares me every time! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian.

Epson PowerLite 410W projector (used for a smart board in a classroom) won't project anything or even turn on. Power button (maybe lamp indicator light? I don't really know anything about this...)...

It seems you assume that it is not an overheating problem.
The problem is, the bulb gets really, really hot when using the projector. It doesn't matter whether it has been there without any usage. As you switch it on, it will start to get hot.
But the lamp or other parts of the projector should not get too hot. To control the temperature, air is moved through the projector with the help of fans. Air enters through air filters and move through the projector absorbing heat from hot parts. This prevents these parts from getting overheated.
But what if air doesn't flow freely? Then the parts CAN get overheated.
First, switch on the projector and check whether you can hear the fans working.
Next, switch off the projector and remove power cable.
After about 30 minutes, remove the cover and check whether the air filters are blocked. If they are, clean them with a small brush.
This would probably solve your problem.

I have a MTX 300XD...it just stopped working. I tightened everything up and it still doesn't work. the red light is on but there is a green flash and when it flashes it makes a noise that I can hear...

What is the electrical system in the different car like?You may need to get a secondary battery for that amp.Also ceck your in line fuse,it may need to be larger.Sounds to me like you either do not have enough power,or a ground is not connected.

Amp not working blue light is on?

You more than likely have subwoofer(s) wired too low for the amp. It's only stable down to 2 Ohms. You should rewire the sub(s) so that the amp will "see" a 4 or 2 Ohm load.

My MTX continues to draw power even when the key is not in the ignition. What can I do?

It sounds like you have constant 12volts applied to your remote turn on lead. The amplifier will have 3 connections for power:

1. 12volt constant
2. chassis ground
3. 12volt switched power - this wire should come directly from your head unit. It only sends 12 volts when the radio is on allowing to amp to power up only when the radio is on.
