amp powers on but has no sound from speakers..


Recommended Posts

what should i be looking for..? i no it could be the speaker wire terminals or the rcas thats the cause.. but i have the amp open and i dont see a single thing on the board burnt black or swolen.. the amp is a kicker kx650.4.. it powers on fine, does not even go into protect mode.. green light comes on but im not getting no sound when i connect a speaker..

got pics? threads like this are much easier to help when you give us pics. bu this ^ check your rca's first. how are your subs wired inside the box? will you get sound if you wire straight to the amp and not through the terminal cup?

R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

o.k i have pics.. let me up load them.. i did just notice some white powdery residue on some spots on the board but again nothing burnt or swolen caps or resistors..

but yeah i just got the amp from my best friend.. its been sitting in his closet.. he said he worked untill he took it out the car and he believed it to still be working.. he knows i like kicker so he came across it cleaning his house recently and he thought of me.. i did not oay nothing for it but i tested it with several differnt speakers and different rca's

( i tested bench tested it )

but still i dont know what it could be.. give me a few ,minutes to upload the pics and i will post em in about 10 minutes or so..

i hooked it up using a kinetik hc1800 reading 12.8 volts.. its my permanent bench test battery..

but yeah anyway i have the gain only 1/3rd of the way up. and the frequency is off..

i dont need to take pics of that.. im not a newbi..

but yeah.. 1 channel out of the 4 makes any speaker crackle but the others produce no sound what so ever...?

and where is the outputs that like to go bad in these amps..? can anybody take one of my pics and circle them for me to check..?

Where's the input board gone?

I think the input opamps on those amps like to fail. I have one on my bench that's being a total bastard but only in 1 channel.

the input board is here i just took it out to look at the board under it.. but the input board looks fine also.. and are the opamps your talking about on the input board or on the main board.. i seen several of them..
