Mcintosh amp failure ( EF-12591 ) BP5

Recommended Posts

Hi guys it's been awhile since I last posted anything . So here we go I have a 2006 BP5 STI Legacy wagon . Today I started my car and set my music to play via bluetooth which is a aftermarket setup that goes into the McIntosh stereo . And I heard a pop and then the sound went away I've pulled the amp out ( EF-12591 ) and it smells very burnt . I pulled it apart and I can't see any issues I've checked fuses and they're all good . What I'd like to do is replace it totally for an aftermarket amp there seems to be no info on the net on the swap . So has anyone done this before ? Or should I try and find another standard one ? How reliable is the factory amp? I'm a bit lost on what I should do the factory speakers aren't great and I think one or more of the speakers are torn. Any help would be great and very appreciated .

You need an aftermarket amp that has high level input as that is what the stock HU puts out. There is some info out there on what each wire does in the multicore round interconnect, so you just need to cut that open and separate each wire off to run to each terminal on the new amp

 

This would be a good time to replace all the speakers with some 6.5 components up front and 6.5 coaxial's in the back. The stockers all tear eventually so you're on borrowed time really

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
