TommyK Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) I posted before but noone knew what I was talking about. This time I have pics. When i bought this amp used from a friend I opened it up and saw this. The amp works though but tends to get a little hot. Amp is an Alpine MRP-M450. Circled in red is where the location of the broken trace. Up Close.

skittlesRgood Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 only thing that could be is a ground. if you want to fix it, just throw some solder across the gap. or use wire. just complete the circuit.

skittlesRgood Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 too much heat. maybe a + wire hit the heat sink? just a guess.

My friend that I bought this off of likes to "ghetto rig" things so thats sounds possible. What heatsink do you mean though?

skittlesRgood Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 the big hunk of metal that the board sits in lol. everything you see on the outside is a heat sink.

So if I have the Neg wire plugged into my amp and then touch the Pos wire anywhere on the amp thats metal, it will short?

TommyK Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I just tested that with my multimeter, neg on neg on amp and pos on brushed metal outside and it has continuity. There is a burn mark on the same surface that I thought was from a cigarette but it bet thats what happened. Do you think if I fix it it will keep the amp cooler? or is that just normal for this amp to get a lil toasty?

Do you think if I fix it it will keep the amp cooler? or is that just normal for this amp to get a lil toasty? its another path for current. could spread out some heat. though i doubt that would be the cause. either way you need to fix it.
