Mtx Amp

[cruzin33]

Iv got a mtx thunder 3404 four channel amp running mtx frount splits and mtx rear 6.5 speckers. It was working fine one morning on the way to work but later that day when i went to go home the speckers were just making a popping sound. Iv gone over and checked all wires and fuses and all are ok.

I then moved the earth cable to a new location and tested the power cable and that was ok. The amp is around 2 or 3 years old but has only hade about 20 hours of use.

My setup is

mtx amp running mtx frount splits & mtx rear speckers

pioneer amp running 2x12inch pioneer subs

sony indash dvd player

streetwires dual amp kit

Im hoping my amp isn't blown but its all i can think of "

Do the subs still work or are they popping too? If it's only the fronts/rears or only the subs popping look below. If all of the speakers are popping then the pre-outs on the head unit may have died, again look below but try without disconnecting all of the speakers first.

Disconnect all speakers in the car at the amp, grab a spare (speaker) from inside or from a mate and connect that up. Hook an ipod/discman up to the amp instead of the cars head unit and see if you get sound. Make sure to turn the ipod right down before connecting it up of course.

somtimes in falcons and magnas it's possible to snap the terminals off by shoving a big bag or something in there, i'd disconnect your speakers on at a time and check they're not shorting out.

but being an mtx amp, anything is possible.

Good advice.

Please advise how the original question had any thing to do with a ford and a magna installation?
