I was wondering if someone knew of a good place to buy the replacement RCA jacks that are attached to the Amplier circuit board it has 4 2 for the inputs and 2 for the pass outputs to another amplifer i cant seem to locate one anywhere ?
You'll need to take the time to provide more detailed information about the amp or a clear photo. MTX used different jacks on various models.
Try Mouser electronics. I hv several MTX amps and familiar the setup u described. However it would be best to list the amps model number whenever possible.
I have 3 MTX amps that have the same connections one of the Amps model numbers MTX Thunder 152 and i have a few pictures here of that they looked amagine that all 3 of my amps have this issue i sure hope none of the others do guess thats what happens when you lend them to a friend and you tell them to be very careful with that jacks i always knew they were very sensitive
all of them have bad ground sheilds on the rcas the pins that connect to the ground on the board to the rca jacks is broke on all of them i can visual see them i did temp fix one of the amps by un welding the plastic dots on the back swapping the rca ground shield from the output channels which i use placed it on the input side and the speaker channels both worked without noise going through the speakers it was picking up before so im assuming my other 2 amps have the same problem hopefully nothing more is at fault due to these lose connections
Post a pic of the bottom of the board so I can see the mount configuration to the board. If they are the same as Rockford amps I have hundreds of these in stock!!
They are the same as the fosgate amps the question is are they gold plated im really looking for the gold plated not the nickel i found nickel in this style on ebay but i cant seem to find the gold ones in this version.
Heres a link of what i have same as this style but not nickel there gold plated and thats what im looking for

I have the nickel, didnt ever bother looking for the gold plated. I have never had an issue with the nickel nor do I think its possible for the human ear to tell a difference in sound quality of a different coating on your shields!!!
Good luck my friend!!
Good luck my friend!!
Hey thanks anyways im kind of curious of how much youd be asking for 3 of them until i find the ones im looking for or until i can find enough gold shiels to where i can just rebuild mine connectors if i have to
you wouldnt have any gold ones in just 2 rca input amps would you? i could always swap out the shields with my broken ones and rebuild them
reason i prefer the gold ones is it fits the 2 of my amps because there the mtx thunder gold series amps there mint so i prefer the nickel not to stick out with the MTX logos and also keep its same factory look atleast i know its sounds rediculous doesnt it lol
Damn wont work the sheild to be all 1 ground not separate they need to be this style

Looks like you may be ordering internationally and waiting awhile.
Why not just solder a piece of hard wire to the broken off pin then install it in the board and solder it in place?

im going to try and call MTX tomorrow and see where they get there boards from maybe they may have some laying around hey thanks anyways man i just cant believe these are so hard to find how much are you asking for 3 of those quad nickel jacks? I think that would be a better temp fix i just dont want to take the chance of the wire coming unsoldered and causing major damage to the amps if it hasnt already the boards are farely new they were only installed in a car for 3 months i tried soldering the end of the pin back on where it broke it would stick
