osiris10012 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 That is a really sweet amp! I would need to find one a bit bigger though. I plan to go with something that will allow me to upgrade down the round. I was looking at the ct sounds 1400.1, but I have to do more research because shipping up here to alaska usually kills me. Well I just pulled it apart and didn't find anything melted. lol. I did find a spot on the board where it looks like the microchip decided to pop. Not sure what would have caused that other than this amp is a first gen jl 250.1 so it is pretty old. Here are a couple pics I took. This was so disappointing. Got so siked with everything in and the amp craps out before I could hear the new enclosure/sub. Needless to say I need a new amp. You can see the slighty burnt discoloration around chip 306
Joe X Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Looks like I will just have to buy another amp. I plan to pull this one apart to see what happened if I can't get it to work. How did you connect the coils among themselves?

You can see the slighty burnt discoloration around chip 306 looks like a mosfet transistor blew. if you know anybody that repairs home amplifier or home stereos they might be able to fix that for you. my buddy fixes mine he replaces all the mosfets. the hardest things are getting those stupid black clips on/off the mosfets and ordering the right ones ahah.

osiris10012 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 hmm not sure if anyone up here knows how to do that. Do you think it would be worth fixing or would I be better off just getting a new amp? I really can't complain the amp was given to me just sucks to be so excited and that to happen. On a side note I hooked it up to my home theater and it sounds really good. My home theater sub is 3 ohms so I figured what the heck.
goldeneye4564 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 from what i have seen it is worth fixing. if you cant find anyone up there to fix it ill buy it off you the way it is if shipping isnt too bad. and its good to hear it sounds good. you did a good job building it.

Exactly like this diagram for the 2 ohm http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp~Q~1~I~42
Joe X Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Shipping both ways + repair will be too much for that amp's worth, I'd say either a local fix or a new one.
