Sundown SAZ 3000D Half-Dead

So this amp has problems with its output. Almost like the gain is moving around. Sometimes it puts out power, sometimes nothing, sometimes just a little bit LOL.

Note the two silver cables....

And how they are brown on this end.

Don't know if thats the cause of the output issue, but still found it interesting.

had a similar problem with one i had. the remote knob actually fixed it... when it was disconnected it did exactly what you are describing, but with the knob in it worked great

The knob is long gone. I have one for my 200.4 though, wonder if its compatible.

wonder if you unsolder those 2 8g runs and resolder new ones if that'll fix your issue, some people acually upgrade those wires to 1/0 if they have the room and see like a 15-20% output increase in clampped numbers, i had a stetsom 7k2d that was "modded" like this, did like 9.8k clampped after the guy did it

Alright thanks. Not mine, but i'll check out those connections.

yeah mine would have strong output one min then lower output the next then back to strong output which seems to be the case with that one...

1/0 is pushing it cramped for space in there might be able to get away with 4 gauge
