got a luxon monoblock amp that has been connected to 2 mtx 12 inch 5500 subs (300 rms each).

Any way i have used this same setup over the last 3 years in 2 different cars. For the last year its been in the boot of my r33. I took out the subs to use the boot. I went to put the subs back in 3 weeks later and the simple job of just connecting the speaker wires to the amp and reconnecting the power fuse took allot longer because no sound came from the speakers.

I turned the volume up slowly and still no sound. The only movement in the speakers was they moved inwards alittle bit, asif the polarity was wrong but i had double and tripple checked this. Thinking it might work if i reverse the polarity i reconnected it the other way and the same thing happend.

I took one of my subs to a friend with a much smaller amp and carefully connected it to his amp to see if the speaker was stuffed. The speaker still works (although it was way underpowerd from the small amp, never the less it still worked).

Can someone confirm that the amp is most likely alittle rooted....

ps the blue light on the back of the amp still turns on when the power is connected.

has anyone repaired anything like this?

does someone have an amp that would suite 2x 12inch mtx5500 subs (600rms) that they wanna get rid of?

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
