n8ball2013 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 That looks like some serious oxidization the windings look green which is never good.

mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 yes it there is some rust. I didn't notice that when I was glancing over it in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 once again im new to messing with the internals of amps.. that's why im here. it seems to only be on the screws holding the pieces to the housing idk what they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Judging by the internals of that I would say it's going to be beyond repair. I'll have a better look when I'm on a full screen but I see enough red flags to say that.

Miguels Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 that small wire might have created resistance and made the amp hot. the rust also added to the resistance my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I was gonna say that thing needs some love, but looking again, it might not be worth the headache. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 its really not that bad.. just needs the 3 caps, the new winding. the screws to be replaced, the two metal tabs and the inputs replaced. the board doesn't look fried. its worth a try if not look for another amp. amps that size are very cheap(cheap as in cost) my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 the ground termainal was like that when i got it.. the dipshit stripped the set screw and he put a wood screw in it, like wtf? i took that out as soon as i got it and fixed the set screw. i got it for cheap thought so i don't care.
