SOURCE: I have two 1200 watt sony amps bridged red light on in one why?

If you are certain speaker isnt blown and you have correct phase wiring and so forth you have whats called a solder jump which is internal repair by dealer only! buy a new amp at dealer wholesale price here cheaper than having it repaired unless under warranty go here for wholesale pricing on almost everything audio wise:

SOURCE: I Have a Sony Xplod 800 watt amp and 2 12 inch Sony Xplod subs

You should definately bridge them. Firstly, lay the 2 speakers face down next to each other. Note the connections +- +-. The first + will go to the amplifier. The next terminal(-) will be connected to the next speaker(+). Take the last(-) and connect to amplifier. Please note that your amplifier has a bridge section which is normally the first + and the last- on the two channels. Connect your woofers on the bridge.

SOURCE: I just bought an '02 Honda Civic SI hatchback that

you have to understand impedance to do this. how many ohm are your 12,s`? you can run all 4 subs in mono off one amp if wired right. it works like this, lets say all 4 of your speakers are 4 ohms. if you wire 2 4 ohm speakers in a series it looks like one 8 ohm speaker to the amp. if you wire them in parallel the amp sees it as 2 ohms, ps most amps cant handle less than 2 ohms in sereo 4 in mono bridge. so no if you take one pair say the tens run them in series now take the 12 run them in series. now take and parallel both sets to amp and you have a 4 ohm load. to better understand do a google search for series parallel circuits. also you amp should be marked for bridging if not look up the amp on the manufacturers web site most will let you download the owners manual for free if in doubt about your amps ability keep it at or above 4 ohms

How do I wire my 12inch mtx ts 55 subwoofer two outlets red with red and black with black or red and black and red and black

The TS55 is a DVC subwoofer that can be wired for either 4 ohms (voice coils in series) or 1 ohm (voice coils in parallel). The appropriate wiring depends on the amp.

If the amp is stable at 1 ohm, wire both positives and both negatives to the matching amp output terminal (parallel) as shown in Wiring Option #1.

If the amp isn't stable at 1 ohm, connect a jumper between the positive on one voice coil and the negative on the other voice coil. Then connect the remaining positive and negative to the matching amp output terminal (series) as shown in Wiring Option #2.

My mtx ts5510 stopped working while driving. Was hooked to an mtx thunder 81000 class d and its still working. ????

Inspect speaker for loose wires/broken wires. Check inside box for loose connection. Blown fuse on amp. Ive literally pulled the wires out of the speaker. The little mesh ones from the terminal to the cone. Look for that. If you do find something broken or bad. remember you can call MTX and fix for a flat rate on most evrything they carry. Ive sent several amps there. normally around $100

Have 2 blown square hifonics 12inch speakers. Was playing goos and then just stopped. Took to radio shop and they said I have 2 blown sub-woofers. How can i get them fixed.

They probably will have to be reconed. Slight chance the flex leads have broken in which they MIGHT be repairable. If this occurred during playing very loud, you probably burned up the voice coils.

Have them reconed and then use an amplifier that maxes out at MUCH less power to drive them. Also fuse the speakers to protect them.

I have this same problem

Check the power with a volt meter. The battery power, then the remote power. Also make sure it's grounded properly. bad grounds cause mayhem.

Subwoofer pushing out problem

it sounds like one channel in your amp had shorted and letting dc go to the speaker...a speaker is an electromagnet and requires ac to make it pulse..the amp has a blown channel and would have to be repaired and a factory service center...there is no quick fix..

Subwoofers won't work and they are brand new

Hello,

I've got a pair of these MTX's subs powered from a Fusion 450 watt 2-channel amp. For the price, they are great. By the way, they are 4-ohm.

My first suspicion would be that something in the first incorrect wiring damaged either the amp or the subs. Can you explain specifically what the "installing the subs incorrectly" means? Was the amp output shorted out at any time or was it operated without a load? Either of these conditions will fry an amp and sometimes, the protection circuitry doesn't work either.

First make sure that your amp is still working. Check both the primary power fuse, usually located near the vehicle battery, and the fuses on both sides of the amp. Make sure that when you turn the system on, the power light comes on steady (blinking is protection mode). Test your subs one at a time on a speaker output.

About 6 months ago i had installed the mtx thunder 6500d amp to run my 2 rockford fosgate power T1 12inch subs and every thing was great untill recently it stop puting out sound it still powers up and...

good morning and welcome to fixya. not a bad setup you have here at all, you ned to start by checking the speaker wires inside the box to the connector inside and then the wires from connector to amp on outside. if everything looks fine there, then you need to check the amp for power out of the rca plugs to make sure the channel is not dead. if you are looking for a new amp you can try several different ones from fosgates new line up to soundstream's. im running 4 polk momo 12's on the tarantula amp and love it. they are great amps. hifonics also has a new line up pretty cool stuff, heard really good things about there stuff to. good luck and let me know so i can help you out.

Blown fuse??

there is an underlying cause for the fuse to blow. if something shorts out you would rather a 40 cent peice goes then the unit causing a fire. disassembly is require... look for obvious burnt parts first.
