  • Both my amplifiers stopped working, can someone tell me why

    So i shut my car off and with it the battery shut off as well. 2 minutes later the battery turned back on and my monsoon and MTX Thunder amp have stopped working since then. The battery has shut off with the car before as well, because wen i would come back to the car the time would have been reset. But amp and subs (MTX Terminator) would still work. What i have tried is:

    -I've checked all the wiring for the harness and deck (Alpine CDE-123 single din)
    -I tried using a different amp (MTX Terminator) that didn't turn on either
    -Checked everything from my wiring kit and its in properly


    I havnt looked at the monsoon amp because iv never touched it before. For the MTX, one time the power light did turn on for a second and then turned off, I havnt seen it turn on again. Also it was -50 celsius outside maybe that has something to do with it? Would appreciate any help, it worked fine for a month and then this randomly happened...

    Where was it -50C?

    Do you own a multimeter? If so check that the remote signal (turn on signal from deck) has voltage.

      My initial help would be to say "Sorry, these things happen when it gets cold."

      Circuit boards rapidly heating and cooling will not last.

          It was about -49 including wind chill but the specific temperature doesnt really matter it was COLD. My amp was left disconnected for a while, i tried again yesterday and it worked!
          Thanks for the help guys

            Glad to see you got it fixed, my guess would have been the remote on feed from your deck wasn't connected very well and the wiring shrunk a bit due to the cold and there was a small disconnect in it somewhere

              At such low temperatures strange things start to happen.

                Apparently these things happen when it gets cold.
