PUNKYOU007 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 so i hop in my truck to goto my pops house, turn the truck on, the radio comes on, the vol is at 35 out of 80 the bass knob is all the way down. after about 15 sec i hear a little pop so i look back and see smoke coming from one of my sub amps. i take it out and this is what i find: in the 2 pics above ^ you can see the two burnt resistors in the 3 pics above ^ you can see the burnt diode on the left and what a good diode looks like just to the right of the capacitor so i found one burnt diode and two burnt resistors. with the vol down and the bass not even playing i have no idea what could have gone wrong. do you think this is repairable? any ideas on what could have caused this?

Megalomaniac Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 What kind of amp is it? Quote Team Stereo Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 That's a rockford amp isn't it? What's died there is your drive circuitry which suggests the power supply may have taken a shit as well. Being surface mount and MEHSA they're a total bitch to work on. Might be a paperweight unfortunately. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNKYOU007 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 LOL, yeah im aware of the problem thanks. in my state of morning that made me laugh just wondering what might have caused it and if its repairable?

Boon Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Output MOSFET (these do use mosfet output sections don't they?) failing, transformer short, power mosfet failing, mayyyybe a rail cap shitting itself then the power MOSFETs failing accordingly.... all sorts. Usually the output section goes before the power section in Class A/B amps so it's fairly likely that the amp has taken a complete swandive. It is repairable but because they're such a bitch to work on it'll probably cost you quite a bit. Also has to go to a serious amp repair specialist, you need special (expensive) equipment to work on those surface mount parts like those 4 drive transistors that have smoked.
