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.

Good advice.

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.

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

STOP posting meaningless answers to peoples questions. This isnt the first time ether.....

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
