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?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
