Car Audio - Amp Blown, I Think, What The Hell Is It? >.<


Recommended Posts

i have no idea about my sound system, an old mate helped me install it and now i have problems and he is over seas >.< running 4 6x9's 4 tweeters and in da boot 2 12 inch subs with an amp for ea (2).

Was having trouble a few weeks ago wit bass dropping out, ended up stripping back all my connections and was working like a mfr for 20 mins but i do believe i done something and overheated my us audio amp and now it lives in protecton mode with red light only >.<

i think ive established it is my amp and not wiring, speaker, earth or power, so next step is fixing my amp if possible or replacing it, however im notw sure what Watts/ Rms it is or if i can run them all through my single remaining amp, if n e one can tell me n e thing about this omg, would be awesome :/ thanks very much serial numba is 03081167 :cool:

So you've disconnected all speakers AND inputs, verified all fuses are in good condition and checked at the amps power terminals to make sure the full 12-13v is being delivered OK?

How is power configured going to the amp, is there a distribution block along the way that might also have fuses or bad/burnt connections in it?

thats a autobarn unit. cheap as and if the light is on - toast.

Unfortunaly for you chris is right, I used to sell that model a couple of years ago. There not very tollerant of bad connections and they really dont like low resistant loads placed on them.

If you have disconnected everything but the power and it still goes into protect its farked. If you really want it can be repaired but its really not worth it.

+1 for replacing it.

we sold a fair few of that particular amp a few years ago, most of them were manufactured around 2003-2004 so it'd have a fair bit of age on it. being a budget amplifier the life of the components wont be the greatest. however, this is the first i have heard of one failing. As far as i can see, the woofers you have are the older model pioneer TSW-305C i think is the model. They'd be single 4ohm coils and about 400wrms. Try a kenwood KAC-9104D $599 rrp, usually sold for around $400-$500 depending on what competition you have in your area. Big amp for little money.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
