MACnonsence6 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 was gona say ud be screwed if u ripped that lil sticker. not gona lie be kinda funny for someone to post something like this and not care cause its under waranty then realize they just broke the seal so now there beat lol Quote I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988JimmyRE Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 so did you find out what caused the amp to go? Quote BUILD LOG-->1988 S15 Jimmy V8 4x4 2 15" RE Audio<--BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 lol looks like a typical post buyout amp from them, i've yet to see great results from anything post buyout from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuRKRoW Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 lol looks like a typical post buyout amp from them, i've yet to see great results from anything post buyout from them. Yeah :/ I wasn't expecting to get a whole lot from a $350 amp in the first place lol. I'm waiting on twistedchild420 to get back to me about a Crescendo BC3500 Quote Sound Solutions Audio ZCON 18 Crescendo Audio BC3500D JVC KD-R80BT headunit Alpine/Pioneer mids & highs 4 group 34 agm batteries Knukonceptz 3x0ga. terminals Kicker/XS Power 0ga. wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecinu Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wow, that really sucks. I would expect a $350 to perform at 1-Ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuRKRoW Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I believe i've found the reason for the amp blowing! One of the tinsel leads on my Solo x 18 had completely ripped off about 2 months ago and I reattached it, but it was nowhere good enough. Since my amp blew, I decided to take my sub out and check it out. I checked the resistance on both coils and the first one was fine. The second one had the bad tinsel lead and the resistance on my multimeter was swaying between 2ohms(which it was supposed to be) all the way up to 40ohms just from wiggling it! I decided to take the whole terminal apart and remove the old chunk of tinsel lead from it and start over. Here are some pics of the outcome: All back together and reading correctly!

949 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 so was it a bad amplifier or a bad woofer? to clearify this is the xtx 5000.1 amp right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuRKRoW Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 so was it a bad amplifier or a bad woofer? to clearify this is the xtx 5000.1 amp right? Well the tinsel lead of my sub ripped out and my bad attempt to reconnect it is what blew the amp. Since the ohm load going through that tinsel lead was varying from 2ohms up to 40ohms from wiggling it, it probably was really hard on the amp (especially that MOSFET that exploded). While the amp was working, it was very reliable. And yes it's the XTX5000.1. I have to change the title. I thought I saw a D at the end lol Quote Sound Solutions Audio ZCON 18 Crescendo Audio BC3500D JVC KD-R80BT headunit Alpine/Pioneer mids & highs 4 group 34 agm batteries Knukonceptz 3x0ga. terminals Kicker/XS Power 0ga. wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
