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?

Why on earth did you start another thread for this.iv already answerd your question in your other thread! If its what i stated in your other thread i dont beleve youl have the skills needed to repair it so ether take it to someone that can or bin it and buy something new.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
