Wiring details wiring diagram for an mtx thunder 81001 amp

you maybe plugged the RCA's into the wrong inputs. or the amplifier is damaged.

turn up the gain and check the output settings of your deck and turn on the sub out channel.

You can open it up and smell for any burned components. Once you identify the burned resistor, transistor, capacitor try to replace it with the same value in RADIO SHACK. Also check for burned out tracers on the circuit board. Thats when the copper etching on the board has literally melted away. You reconnect it by soldering small wires and bridge the connections back together. Need solder and soldering Pen. The soldering gun is too strong and may do more damage to the circuit board if used to long.

Hi Mason.
Are the positions colour coded in any way?
Red = Positive
Black = Negative
I've looked at some photo's from the website and at a guess I would say that yours are the push on crimp types, so no colour markings.
Have a look at the pdf wiring diagram they supply here as it may shed some light on things:
MTX Thunder US-XT12-44
I've looked over loads of forums but none seem to mention the wiring of these subs.
Understandably you want to get this right as they are a very nice set of subs when they're up and running.
If all else fails try looking at the MTX contact list and ringing one of their supported dealers for more info.

If you have proof of purchase(invoice or receipt) showing the purchase date and you are still within the warranty period then yes it would be repaired by MTX under the warranty guidlines, and by the way MTX is great at customer service and they are great to work with(very fair)!!!!
Keep in mind that the seal on the bottom of the amp cannot be broken or that will void warranty coverage.
Give them a call, you will be glad you did!

Good luck !

wire each speaker like this and go to the amp.

Wiring Option #1

first of all you should check the minimal impedance your amp handles , if is class d it should handle between 1-2 ohms total impedance in a mono conection , meaning whatever quantity of subs you have hooked to your amplifier,their total impedance should the minimum the amp handles that way all the power from your amplifier will be used.

Hello bpuentes,

Here's a link to the wiring diagram PDF.

Hope this helps.

Remove cover and set in direct sunny window for long time, may be no problem with it, Took a month to dry one of my amps out enough that it decided it would come back to life, cell phone dropped in sink took 2 weeks, If you try power to it too soon --fried--, good luck finding diagram and repairing it sincerely-hope its okay, good amp, bad luck,

This is a dual 4 ohm sub. By wiring the terminals in series (one set of + to - from one side to the other) you will have an 8 ohm sub (most folks probably don't want this). By wiring in parallel (+ to + and - to - and connect the - wire to the - terminal on your amp and the + wire to the + terminal on your amp you'll have a 2 ohm sub.

MTX has the hookup diagram here: http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/manualsQuickInstall/amps/RTP251D_InstallSheet.pdf If you have the original wiring harness, the ground wire is normally black. The amplifier case or chassis is ground connnected on amps I've seen as well.
