Derrick824 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 That looks like 10-12awg wire coming out of the amp and 8awg coming out of the box. The power and ground seems to be 4awg. Where's the 4awg and 1/0awg wrapped together? Also they don't show how its wired inside the box. If something is wired out of phase it would most likely be inside there.

Derrick824 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 The MTX RFLs are spl subs. I'm not sure on their ratings but I would guess at least 2Keach. So you're trying to push a pair of spl subs that want 4,000watts with a 600watt amp. That just might be part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the tools to take pictures of the wiring on the inside that'll have to wait till another day because I do not think he's gonna call me considering its a holiday.

There isn't any way thats 4awg or 1/0awg wire. The biggest that'll fit into that amps speaker terminals is 8awg. Be careful playing this setup as is. If a coil is indeed blown then there is a possibility of causing damage to your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxfire69 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hey man take that fuse out and reinsert it....The one on the right looks like it may not be all the way in...They are uneven...The one on the left is fine...Pull the right fuse out an reinsert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right it is 8 i apologize I don't believe the coil is blown their was no smoke or burning smell.Hey man take that fuse out and reinsert it....The one on the right looks like it may not be all the way in...They are uneven...The one on the left is fine...Pull the right fuse out an reinsert ^^ gonna do that right now. well, I just got back the left fuse says the 30 going downwards with the 3 on top, the right fuse has the 0 up top and the 3 at the bottom, I tried pulling em out but with no luck. I did push both of them in as far as they could go though. Fear The Quack! Shot at 2007-08-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxfire69 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ok..Lets trouble shoot...Do you know what Ohm each of those coils are? Are the fuses even now looking down on them like in your picture? Should be 2 ohm each right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he used an ohm meter and it said it was at 2 0hm, however he did not take the subs out, and unwire them and test them individually so we could be wrong. The fuses are even. see how the left amp has 3 on top and 0 at bottom, if u look closely the right fuse has 0 on top and 3 at bottom is it opposed to be like that? Fear The Quack!

cmrs2k Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 There is no polarity on fuses, as long as they are not blown, it doesn't matter what direction that they are in. The issue mentioned before was that it looked like one of the fuses wasn't seated properly which may cause a a problem or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
