Bought a working Xtant amp, how to hook up?

[bobotech]

I bought an Xtant 603X amp today after testing it and it appears to work fine. Got it for 99 dollars at the pawn shop. I figure that is a decent deal.

Now how the heck should I hook this up?

I am now planning the system in my other car.

I have a sealed box with a pair of xtant 10s that I could use but nothing else other than the head unit.

I would like decent sound quality with some loudness of course.

Also what the heck is this amp capable of pushing. It appears to only be rated for 60x2 for the front and 120x1 for the subs but it seems awfully huge for that.

Are these Xtants decent amps?

Hi, yes the earlier Xtant amps are very nice. The 603x is rated at 75x2+150x1 @ 4ohms. You should be fine with what you have, Just run sub ch down to 2ohms so you can get 300 watts to your 10's. 75x2 will run your front stage. Good luck and good deal on the amp.

I used to sell Xtant, very well engineered amp, those specs are correct and yes you got a grreat deal. Someone did not know what they were selling. Wish I had it.

Surprisingly enough, it was a pawn shop and the guy who sold it to me bench tested it in front of me and told me that it has just sat on their shelf for 249 for months and no one wanted it. I guess people want big flashy amps like Duals and Boss and so on and don't give small companies like XTant much of a second glance. The original sticker on the amp was 249 and they had just marked it down to 99 because it was the slow season.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Man, there are a terrible amount of jumpers and adjustments in the inside of this amp!

In my honest opinion dual and boss amps are pretty much junk cheap amps and if it says it will do 4000 watts its more like 75 watts.

I think Mtx made the xtant line of amps and they are good amps

" I think Mtx made the xtant line of amps and they are good amps"
Actually the xtant line that he has was orignally designed by ex-PPI owner and later sold the company to mtx. Very nice amps they were. Have not used the later MTX version though.

Go to Xtant.com and click on the archives section and it will give you the manual for every amp they ever made. This will help you understand the equipment you have.

MTX is a well, part of the Xtant line, I cannot recall the main manufacture. as far as the pins in the amp, if "voodoosoul" link does not help, a pic would be nice and I can walk you through it. All it is is cross-over setting, H/P-L/P etc. you have a very nice amp, still wish they made them like that. curious, is the board on the amp have a autograph? If it has a name beside the model, my friend, that is the best 99 you ever spent.Mav
