Kinser Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Okay.. back with another problem. after fixing the primary winding short on my amp, it died on me after a week! this time i had it playing pretty loud, amp was hot, in the car was even hotter. summer heat killed my amp, i think. blew the main fuse, plus two 30A fuses on the amp itself (two out of three). changed the fuse and as the amp turns on i think it starts oscillating, also my idle drops ALOT when i power it up. this was with a new main fuse and a single 30 amp fuse in the amp. was not playing anything yet the sub puts out a loud tone starting high, at like 200hz dropping rapidly kida like a test tone. i wanna test the amp at home with a regulated power supply (13.8v @10A) but i don't wanna fry it so can i wire up a head lamp is series with the amp to limit the current? David

Rogers Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 sounds like its time to scrap the amplifier... sounds like your just asking for an electrical fire... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?
Kinser Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Posted June 24, 2010 i wish i could scrap it and get something else.. but im a soldier and don't have enough funds at the moment to get a new/second hand one =\\ have to make do with what Ive got.. at least my TC 2000 didn't suffer from the fault in the amp
Kinser Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Posted June 24, 2010 im getting massive voltage drop when i power it up.. from almost 14 to... 7 volts. doesn't go into protect mode though there is no voltage at all on the rails! i think maybe i fried the PWM controller? opinions?
Rogers Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 like i said... your asking for a fire... if you cant afford to buy a new one, then send it in to be repaired... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?
jeyrapboy Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 like i said... your asking for a fire... if you cant afford to buy a new one, then send it in to be repaired... X2 cuz if you cant afford a amp im pretty sure you cant afford a NEW CAR!
