MrBassmicks Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 This is my amp it shorted out a few months ago. I think the speaker wire touched the case of the amp while i was driving. Anyways, be warned its a little gory!

Chris Hammer Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Could you fix it by soldering in new mosfets?

MrBassmicks Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 I could replace the MOSFETs and i even found the right parts online, but there are a couple other things that look damaged as well. So for $180 I can send to JL and have it either fixed or replaced. So im gonna go that route. And I'm not the best as soldering in tight places either.

bad_ass_car Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 yes as long as it didnt fry anything else. just make sure they have the same numbers on them so you know the + and - are in the right spots Quote i'm new to the spl world and loving it!!!4- power acoustik mofo 152srd d9
Chris Hammer Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Yea I am not sure if I would trust myself soldering in that amp lol. Wires = no problem Tight little places with dmageable components = No bueno send that puppy in hahah.

bad_ass_car Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i've done it a few times and as long as you take the board out its not that bad Quote i'm new to the spl world and loving it!!!4- power acoustik mofo 152srd d9
b-dubs89 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i have been tempted to get a slash amp but i see too many of them dead on ebay , to me for what that amp would cost to replace or buy it should be more reliable than it is . Quote

I don't have a lot of experience with amps but it seems to me there should have been a fuse or something to prevent this from happening. Especially considering this is somewhat of a pricey amp.

b-dubs89 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) i guess if you can afford to buy a slash at retail price you can probably afford to replace it when it fries that is still a pretty incredible amp if you look at the voltage range where its rated i think down to 11 volts , and the fact that you can run 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms and get rated power , there's a reason why people pay so damn much to have one of these . but knowing my luck i would spend $200 on ebay or at a pawn shop and have my slash amp fry out a month or 2 later .
