well first off, let's not confuse people by referring to your MTX box as a subthump. Subthump is an entirely different company making custom vehicle enclosures. I know Steve from Subthump doesn't post here, but if I was him, I'd want to make sure people with other companies products were not claiming they were mine, and confusing other potential users.

to your issue, if your built in amp is fried, besides replacing with the parts you've listed, only other option is to install a real amp, but it will end up costing more then what you listed.
