[QUOTE="type[s5], post: 2702639, member: 573972"] I sold my MTX 801D amp just recently to a guy locally. Tested the amp out one last time on the day of the exchange, first thing in the morning, and everything worked fine. Removed it from my car, and later that evening, made the exchange. I told him that it worked fine and the RCA input on it was pushed in a little (mounted it too low behind the rear seat so the RCA's got pushed in a bit when the seat was pushed back into place) but it didn't seem to hurt the amp's performance at all. So the sale went off smoothly and we both went off our merry way. Few weeks later, I get the following message from him: "sorry i dont mean to sound like a dickhead but when u sold it to be before you took it out did it bump ? Cause the amp is giving me problems ... i have to max out the gains, freq, and eq to get it to push this sub ..." So my guess, right away, is that he's trying to push a sub that needs more power to move, assuming wiring is all correct. Other than that, maybe it's not properly/sufficiently grounded or his sub is wired wrong/incorrectly. Other than what's in that message above, I have no more info on his issue. I know anyone would pretty much need to know more than what he sent me, but what do you guys think, off the top of your head? Think the RCA jacks issue could be a potential source for his problem, also? [/QUOTE]
