Not to add on to things, but in the future when you have an amp or more. It is generally a good idea to use a capacitor and let the amp or amps draw from that, the capacitor will also save your alternator and battery...Sorry to hear about the luck though!!

Ya a capacitor will help but they are such a RIP OFF, the mark up on those is insane. from crutchfield a .5 farad cap is 80 bucks you can go on ebay and get a 2 farad cap for that price, not to mention all of the electronic cataloges that are out. The only thing you do not get is the flashy light and the digital reading, oh big whoop.

one thing about the MTx amps and subs.......DONT BUY THEM.....no matter what anybody says. any reveiws.....now about the battery draining, if you have a switch, do not forget to turn it off, with your remote it shuts off with your radio, now im not a fuckin rocket scientist with car audio, but i am a part of DeepViBRatIOns.....a illinois based sound team....after i fix up the car ill show you. What im running right now is a HART 12" square sub, pounds ass, powered by a Soundstorm 500w*2....and im runnin a 1 farad cap. As for the starter, i had a problem with mine, but you have a different car, and personally id keep an eye on the starter, mine had to be replaced, on my dads bronco the same thing happend, he had nothing extra, what happend is that his solenoid went i think, it fried wouldnt shut off. thats all i know really about the starter, any questions about a system go ahead and ask

Whats wrong with MTX, I had the 8000 thunder and the 5170 thunder amp, I think that is what the model number was. In the year and a half i had it i never had a problem. And it sounded damn good. And there is no need for a switch for your amp your remote on your stero will take car of that and if you do not trust that, hook the remote from the amp up to the fuse that runs your stero in the fuse box. if you have everything hooked up correctly your amp will shut off when you turn the deck off. James if you need help let me know. After having 5 diffrent amps in my car 3 were at the same time my battery never went dead.
