Acidburn, Thanks for the link... Missed the thread. Been a bit busy. Simon

FYI... The MTX Site is live with the new MTX amps. Let me what you think. http://www.mtx.com Main Amp Page http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/ Thunder Super Amps http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/indexSuper.cfm Thunder Performance Amps...

I think themainjam is on the right track. From the sounds of it your subs are "out of phase". Each sub is producing sound waves. But, one is going out while the other is going in, the sound will cancel and you will get little to no output. Reverse the polarity of 1 sub to bring both in phase...

No I can clip a woofer to 5% and just hear the Distortion. Do it many days in the lab. Woofers are in the Percents of THD. Seen the THD measurements. Richard Clark had a CD that traveled around a bit on some clipping and different amplifiers. Was very interesting..... In a double blind...

I've been checking a few of the boards about once a week for the last year or so. Good Stuff. I rather sit on the sidelines as there are a lot of people who do know what they are talking about and help many more. So, I figure Peer advice is better than Industry advice. But, I couldn't refuse...

When we designed the 1501D/81000D/1000D the I/0 Gauge connecter is there for a reason. For best performance you need an electrical system that can also keep up. Welcome to the big power. At the least, one should feel inadequate using 4 ga on an I/0 Gauge input. Simon

You're on the right track... Check out http://www.bcae1.com/ Series/Parallel is #38 & #58. Parallel the coils on each woofer to drop the woofer impedance to 1ohm + to + - to - then series the speakers to the amp to bring the impedance back to 2ohms Amp+ to Spkr1++ Spkr1-- to Spkr2++...

Sounds like the subs are wired out of Phase??? Switch the + and - on 1 sub and see if they are "pushing" together. Simon

If anyone sees them in person, let me know what you think. Later Simon

Yes, the new MXA Series amps are designed for Circuit City in the USA. 7 models for now. MXA4001, MXA6001, MXA8001 MXA3002, MXA4002 MXA4004, MXA6004 We still have the Current Thunder Amplifiers avialiable thru all other USA retailers. Later Simon

Unfortunatly from the discription of the problem, it sounds like the amp is roasted. Probably the power supply fet are shorted. Disconnect the amp and make sure it's not the wire shorted to the chassis of the vehicle first as suggested by others. If the wire looks to be good... BAD AMP.
