  8. RF T4000.1 burnt resistor?

    in Amplifiers

    Posted

    MOSFET looks cooked.

    The burnt spot is now cleaned up with some rubbing alcohol.. and it looks like it came from the grey long thing..resistor? and as you can see there are little orange things on the right hand side of them.. i think the orange thing was bent over and touching it.. maybe that was the cause?

    A week or two ago my amp started cutting out to the point where it went into protect mode, and made a terrible high pitched screeching noise.. smelt like burning plastic.. Is anyone familiar with what all these resistors going around the amp is for? and maybe why this happened?

    I highly doubt the distro is the issue, I would do a run of 0ga - and + to the rear batts pulling that much power,

    are you running too low of an ohm load? I've seen a few RF amps have issues going below 1ohm. check your pre outs too

    i would have ran a run to the (-) from front to back but i ran outta wire. and at first i was running a 1ohm load, and i eventually wired it to 4 ohms and the problem still existed..

    I dont see where your back cable is hooking to the front. If you connected it to that little dinky terminal that would be a big mistake........ If you hooked your wire up through the dist. box then it would have been a bigger mistake. Not doing the big three could have been very helpful as well......

    that dinky terminal isnt actually that small, it worked great, and the big 3 has nothing to do with it, when my system did play at full tilt, i only dropped from 14v to like 13.5v at Idle

    Can you post a pic of the front battery with the wires connected to it? I want to see the terminals and such...

    i dont have a pic of that.. i got pissed and tore everything out right away. all it was, was a normal front to back battery setup. fuse was 18 inches away from front battery, and 18 inches away from back battery.. 0 guage ring terminals as connectors sotered on..

    Head unit?

    Rcas to b exact

    I had a problem with a bad output from my headuit that cut out the music like a skipping cd but i never fried an amp. Just a thought to check while your diagnosing the problem

    im running a decent alpine deck, and for RCAs i got a new pair that i have never used up until i did this install, and that was the next thing on my list to try and put my old ones back in, but my amp fried before i got the chance.

    Did you have the big three done? Did you run your wire from the front battery to the back batteries? What size wire was used?

    nah i never got around to doing the big 3.. all 1/0 guage wires, and i had a positive from the front battery to the back batteries with the correct fuses in between. i never ran a ground from front battery to back battery though.

    Ive never had a problem with a system until i bought my Crown Vic Police interceptor a few months ago.. i just recently bought 2 fi Btl N2 15s, and built a box for them. i had my rockford t4000.1 powering them with 2 xs power d3100s and a 220 amp HO alt. The thing is when i would turn it up it would cut out.. now it wouldnt always cut out, sometimes i got lucky and it would play for a minute at full tilt. I tried everything to fix it, from doing a new ground right to the frame to pulling all wires and everything out to double check..i thought maybe it was the 3100s doing it, so i disconnected them and just had my main front battery hooked up, and thats when my amp fried..

    Could this be something to do with Fords power distribution box? or voltage regulator or something? I would love to know why this happened.. ill post some pics of what im talking about..

    ALSO it got to the point were it just went from cutting out to where my back fuse between the battery and the amp would blow, i replaced it, and it blew again, i replaced it one more time and my amp went into protect and made a nasty noise..
