    Hifonics Colossus Clips

    My XXV Hifonics Colossus amps has just "blown" and I am attempting to fix it. I have already repaired a colossus amp with the same issue but the repair didn't last because i broke,cut, and destroyed the clips that hold the MOSFET's to the heat sink. I tried to rig something up to secure them to...

    Advice for Amps.

    Only problem with alot of the amps is my speaker impedance. Unless my math is wrong i can only wire both my speakers to 8ohms, 2 ohms, and .5ohms and each individual sub at 1ohm and 4 ohms. Soo a 5kw amp will probably put out about 2500w for both subs... Is the colossus the best fit without...

    Advice for Amps.

    Ok.. im currently looking for an amp to buy. And need suggestions on what to get. Money is not a factor. Ok now for what i need, what ive had, and my limitations. My subs are two Treo SSX 15", each sub is a dual 2 ohm voice coil. They are 2500w RMS... there is no MAX stated. I first ran them off...

    Got a XX colossus II?

    Need some help. I blew my amp... soo im fixing it. I was able to figure out what most of the resistors and diodes were from their charred remains except for two... they were burnt beyond recognition and i couldn't match them to the other channels components. I was hoping that someone could tell...

    Anyone Got a Hifonic Colossus II?

    I know this is an off the wall question but im hoping some one just has a XX colossus II laying around somewhere that they could pop open. I just blew a few MOSFETs in my colossus and it took out a couple other components in the process. I was able to salvage the part number for the MOSFETS...

    Old news... but still awsome to me.

    It finally came in. Now all that is man shall be destroyed... but even now I need more power.. anyone know where i can get a Goliath or if they even make those anymore?? This be running two Treo SSX 15" subs in a ~11.5 ft^3 box tuned to the low 30's. Will be modifying the box for an...

    s10 enclosure designs

    It all depends on how much room you are willing to give up and what speakers your talking abut. I had a standard cab S-10 and could fit four Deep magnet 10"s or 12"s in it... of course my seat was nearly all the way foward. I did boxes with my 10's facing just about every which way possible...

    Repairing Amps

    Oh and Undercover did you mean resistor R68 or that Semi-Conductor thingy Q68(isn't one). And resistor R68 was fine in all amps I guess i need to check every single component... Think it's the MOSFETS?

    Repairing Amps

    Opened them all, All seemed fine, Ill check that resistor and get back at you. Well that one that was the heat casualty, that still halfway works, the entire back of the board looked like over cooked solder . I guess when the book says stable at 2ohms i shouldn't run em at 1ohm HARD. Hey U guys...

    Repairing Amps

    Im mainly looking to repair them myself.. i have a pretty good electronics background i was looking to make these a good way to get a better understanding of amps. Im mainly just asking for which components i should start looking at first, and where i could buy those at.

    Repairing Amps

    Thanks for the link but not cost efficient... from what i read it would cost me $100 bucks per amp... i can buy new ones for $145 or so.

    Repairing Amps

    Hey guys, Haven't been here for a while . Heres the issue I have four Audiobahn A8000T amps.... all broken. Do you think they are fixable? Im not really worried about them as i just purchased a Collossus XX. One of them the plastic around the +batt terminal is half melted.. so i know he is a...
