I see. So we are on the same page. So you too agree with Haunz's hypothesis of the Infinities causing the problem.

Yes I agree that the infinities were the cause of the problem, but they became the problem because of the clipped signal it was recieving. Without the clipping the woofers would not have seized and shorted the amp. So I guess in all reality the cause of the problem is more due to the listener who clipped the amp which in turn clipped the woofers and the whole chain of events started to result in the situation at hand.

MTX is a certified ISO 9001 company and has been for over 10 yrs. how can they be using cheaper parts than they used to?

maybe I can clear a few things up..

MTX is not famous for faulty outputs..

We ship more amps in 1 week than we have returned during a calander year not many companies can claim that!

Also of the hundred of thousands of woofers we shipped last year less than 1% came back!

Those are the facts on MTX warranty!


It is great that someone brought up ISO 9001. ISO 9001 is an international standard of quality management. It ensures that all products are of high standard, not just product quality but customer satisfaction as well. If at anytime quality control is compromised then the company would fail its audit. MTX has never failed an audit since coming on board with ISO in 1994!


M2N2R is correct the amp in this case went defective. Now more importantly WHY? did it happen.

exerpt from iso
Can suppliers claim that their goods or services meet ISO 9001:2000?
No. The reference to ISO 9001:2000 indicates that the supplier has a quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000. As mentioned earlier, this should provide you with confidence in your supplier’s ability to provide consistent, conforming goods or services. ISO 9001:2000 requires your supplier to monitor the levels of satisfaction of its customers (this includes you!), and to feed back this information in order to improve the effectiveness of its QMS.

Do you that this is a case of how the inputs are attached to the board or is it a case of the users rca cables being yarded around and straining on the connection? In any case it might be something that is being addressed as a running change. I have not had one of the new amps here to comment on them so I can only speculate.


As far as the system goes, Elvis came in a spaceship and stole it. This should adequately answer your question and end all further speculation.
