Vulcan4x4 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hey guys, I received a Kicker zx1000.1 amp from a kid i know at school, he was gonna throw the amp out because it had stopped putting out power to the subs so i decided to snag it and see if i could fix it. Now the problem is that it turns on like normal and has the green power light but you can hook up as many rca's as you want but it doesn't output sound. I don't know the conditions that caused it to fail but i was hoping to find some help here. Also I have disassembled the amp and there is no visible burn marks, no odd smells, and the solder joints all look intact, and the date stamped on the board is 2005 if it helps at all. Thank you for your time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan4x4 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is there a way to trace for a short with a multimeter? And where should i start looking first? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwebb Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 use diode check with your meter and check the legs of the 640s and 9640s first. if your meter beeps u have a short on one or a group of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Legacy Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Not trying to thread jack. Have a relevant question. With the power light green but no output problem. Can that be related to power supply or is it purely an internal problem? Honda Accord SirT + Mad sounds = Awesomeness VTEC go BRAAAAAPPPP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141261-99-accord-sirt-sq-build/ Alright well i never done the big 3 so i see in my vision my truck on fire...
