Posted December 15, 200915 yr Has been flawless for over 1.5 yrs till the other day it shut off at low volume level. I only had the car on for 10 min aswell And then the car turned into a BBQ....What in the world happend? Is this fixable? Guess im going to have to talk to Greg I am assuming? These are all the same MOSFET on one side closest to the power imputsThis is on the other side halfway on the board Edited December 15, 200915 yr by Mynameismcgyver
December 15, 200915 yr Damn that looks nasty, hopefully it gets better for you and you can get it fixed.
December 15, 200915 yr It looks like your ground wire melted from the heat from the mosfet rail and then zap it shorted out and burnt up.
December 15, 200915 yr Author isnt the rail grounded to begin with? I was thinking something of that sort happend but to be completely honest, I believe it melted AFTER the bar turned into glowing molten metal. Im just hoping the board isn't toast because then I can have it fixed by greg.

December 15, 200915 yr Author I spoke to greg and sent him those pics. Ive always dreaded this day if something like this were to happen.. I love this amp. I would sleep with it if I could.
December 16, 200915 yr Leave the cover off and hang it on the garage wall as a trophy!!! save up for another one. Thats pretty cool

January 21, 201015 yr It can and will be fixed today with SEVEARAL updates...... As to what happened. It looks like 2 outputs died and the amp tried to drive through the shorted outputs.
January 22, 201015 yr Author Yep, thank goodness! Ive been sweating like a hostage hoping everything would turn out fine. Thanks to everyone over there. Been a pleasure dealing with everyone and im PROUD to use your products.
