jdubs Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have a amp that's mounted under my seat it started corroding at the screws then spread to bottom of the amp and I don't know what's cauing it. Could anyone give me some suggestions could be dissimilar or bimetal corrosion. if you used cheap hardware or if the seat is steel and the amp is aluminum (likely) and you try to clamp them together, they will corrode. I'm in aviation and this is probably the biggest problem we have with corrosion Kenwood DDX 514 DD M3a DD 9512G RF 600.4 RF power series 6x8s lots of zero ga.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

CheezyMane13 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 This might be a long shot, but I have seen instances, not necessarily with car audio, but with 12v battery electronics, where corroding can occur like electroplating. If you amps ground is thru the chassis, and you amp is secured with screws to the chassis, then there could be some corroding or electroplating of some sorts going on at the contact point. I forgot the exact term that this is for, but when I was in college we did a lab that dealt with double grounds, and it can cause corroding. take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey 1998 Chevy Venture "Swagger Wagon" Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 Headunit 3 15" Alpine Type R's in seperate T-Lines 1 RF T1500-1bd for 2 of the 15s 1 RF P1000-1bd for the single 15 3 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components( 1 more set to come for Front stage) 1 Hifonics HFi100.4 4-channel amp Stock alt for now (DC HO SPL 400A when funds come in,currently working on buying this) Stock battery and one Optima Redtop for now (looking at XS batteries) 3 15" Alpine Type R's (aka Swagger Wagon Build 1.0) Swagger Wagon Build 2.0 Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
