Hey guys, Haven't been here for a while //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.
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 heat casualty, as i was running him at 1ohm. Him and A second amp was running at 1 ohm at the time but he made it out the vehicle without breaking. This amp still works but goes into protect after about 20amps of current draw.
The Other three are confusing to me. Oh and the At amp DVM reads around 14V on all these amps when on.
Amp 1: Powers up fine, until the signal input wires are plugged up.. then the Fan winds down and the speakers start to pop every 2 or so seconds. Even after the signal input wires are removed it continues to do that.
Amp 2: As soon as power hits it it goes into protect... protect light VERY dim.. can just barely see it on. This one was VERY strange because i drove around with the amp off the day before due to classical music then the next day when i go to my car... no bass????
Amp 3: Power goes in, it stays in protect. Fan goes really slow.
Could you guys give me some ideas on which components i should check first.
