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.....

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
