brad_gaddis Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I need some help. A buddy of mine has a 4000 watt amp that he said I can have but the fuses that are built on the amp keep popping. What could be causing this? What would it cost to have it rebuilt? Im just curious what I may be spending to get this amp rebuilt compared to buying a new one.

TheyDontWantMusic Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 most likely the mosfets in the power supply have gone short circuit. but seeing as you haven't told us what the amp is, no one can really comment on the cost to repair.

zayres29 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 if your buddy has a 4000 watt amp with built in fuses that amp probably does maybe 1000 watts ive NEVER seen anything over 1500 watts with on board fuses usually the fuse rating will give away actual power Quote Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 i'd start to check for frayed/loose wiring, either at the fuse holder (which i hope exists) or on the amp itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
