That's a mosfet. Does the amp still work?

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

i am not sure i dont have the power to try it so i guess we will see in about 2 months, could it still work?

If one of the mosfets from the second pic is charred (looks like it to me, but the picture is hideous), the amp is definately blown.

[jonbearsmt 919]

cheap amp repair and GOOD or CORECT repair are are not the same...

you really wanna use someone that knows what they are doing and has people to back them......DB-r is highly respected here.....

but yeah.. if your in a big city search tv and or amp repair shops localy...

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

im def not ina big town but db-r does not work on t3001bd i emailed them and they said that they do not work on them, doyou know any differnt ones that are backed up on here

i have used this place before... http://www.ciaengineering.com/index.htm they were slow with mine.. but parts here hard to find.. for my amp.. and i sent it in around the SPL off season.. so everyone was tryin to get their amps fixed.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

holy chit lol ill email all of them, how much do you think around it will cost for this fix?

[jonbearsmt 919]

no clue man... CIA charged me 160.. for a buncha work on my goliath. but it took a long time!

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

well i really appreciate your help is it a blown mosfet as the other said beacuse i dont want to pay for something that isent blown

[jonbearsmt 919]

well that could have led to other problems in the amp.. or other problems caused it... thats why its best to send it to someone who is trusted and skilled.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

yeah well im sure alot of people would say alot more needs fixed for more cash ya know but hopefully who ever i send it to is honest, rockford fosgate wants $450 to repair my amp

[jonbearsmt 919]

but im sure i can tell you why your mosfets failed.......not enough power son!....

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

mhmm figured that i guess i should have waited to get my setup finished to test it

That was actually CHEAP. Mosfets in big Zenon boards aren't cheap.

They will probably replace all the mosfets from the power supply section (looks like that to me). Failures can be caused by a lot of things, there may be problems in the amp section too.

RF has their own "labeled" parts..which is why some amp repair shops don't want to work on them
