  1. The last time I saw a chip or component that was blown and knew it by eye-sight was... Never..

    Not to be a dick but if you have never been able to look on a board and see something blown or burnt then you obviously haven't worked on many things.

    Just send it to db-r, then sell it. I had one repaired multiple times for the same parts failing over and over.

    Might be a reason they aren't produced any more.

    I'm kinda leaning that way already. Was just trying to avoid paying out the ass for shipping. Been wanting to run all RF amps, I guess it's time to save up...

    Not to be a dick, but in most cases you can't see if anything is wrong with it.

    Just because sometimes you can see it, doesn't mean that a lot of other things aren't dead because there is no visible damage.

    Yeaa, no kidding. But blatantly saying you can't see any damage by just a visual inspection is wrong.

    So, before it goes off to get repaired, anyone got any last ideas...?

  3. The amp was playing at low volume and just turned off suddenly. I turned the HU off and back on and it came back on, a few minutes later i smelled something electrical burning so I immediately turned the HU off. I pulled the amp out and found 2 of the A1695 transistors blown. Aside from the marks they left on the board when they blew, I see nothing else wrong. I replaced the pair and tried to power the amp on and it turns on but the blue light just flashes on for a fraction of a second then the red light stays on solid. The amp was still working up until the moment i turned off the HU when i smelled something burning so i honestly don't know if the protect light was on as it played those last few minutes. I see nothing wrong anywhere on any of the boards, anybody have a clue as to what else could be wrong?

    Im the original owner of the amp, been using it for my mids and highs for a few years now without any issues. Amp was never abused, has been at either 4 or 2 ohms, and never went into protect before.

  4. the ones for 90 a pair are to change the lug pattern not a spacer.

    the spacer your talking about would only have a benifit if you are using wheels that are to wide to fit with out the spacer. so if your will is 1" to wide you need a 1" spacer if it is only 20mm to wide then a 20mm spacer will work. if the wheels arent to wide then the spacer is pointless.

    Wrong. They make spacers with studs in them that are just that....spacers. The bolt pattern will remain the same.

    There's more than just getting a 1" spacer if your wheel is too wide. The width AND the backpacking both need to be factored in before using spacers.

  5. apple had to remove from their site recently, that "macs dont get viruses". cause they do LOL

    I never even knew they had that posted lol. IMO any kinda computing device can get a virus. I just like the simplicity of the apple OS. I don't wanna molest files or do any crazy hacker code stuff so it's perfect. I wanna turn it on and not see 50 message windows for updates and other warnings. To each their own lol

  6. All the govt computers we have at work are terrible, Legacy I believe they are. They just add to my dislike of PC's in general. Went to Apple a few years back....shoulda done a long time ago. It's nice when things just work...

    They just work because it's magical.

    And because you're playing inside of a sandbox instead of playing at the beach.

    and i love the sandbox. i bought a computer because i want it to do the work, i got tired of cleaning up the damn beach all the time
