Help...My MTX 801D Is Cutting Out..

[kirk 10+ year member]

When I have the gain all the way up it's fine as soon as I start turning it down it cuts out real bad like no bass at all. I have it hooked up with the low level inputs and 4 ga. wiring. It's hooked to a 2 ohm load. I guess it must be the gain control gone bad hugh??

TIA

Chances are your gain shouldnt be all the way up, or down. Use the gain setting tutorial on the forum, see if that takes care of your problem.

It doesn't take care of the problem because as soon as I start turning down the gain the sub quits working all together and maybe every five seconds I get a blast then it goes off again.

how long has the gain been all the way up? why turn it all the weay up at all?

I just got the amp used so I don't know what the guy I bought it from did. I have it all the way up because that's the only way it works.

Thanks boomnblzr, that's some useful information. I don't have a remote but I'll check the RCA's and the ground. If that doesn't do it I guess I'll just keep it all the way up at least it works. Maybe I'll give MTX a call.
