DHD should repair?

Solosound · 7th November 2008, 05:28 PM

One customer find this amplifier in the garage.

It have missed the IC.

¿Some one know the rigth number part?

I don't see a power supply so it is likely not worth fixing. You can't get over something like 17watts rms that way. I doubt it goes louder than a high power head unit. Might be a nice case to build a class d amp into though.

If you want to fix it, I don't know unless someone here has one to look at. Did you try to find the company online?

You could probably buy a new similar amp for the price of the IC.

+1 on the IC costing more than the amp's value. It is not a high enough powered unit to justify repairing, especially when a head unit produces more rms power per channel.

You couldn't put 100 watts INTO that amp, and get 100 watts out of it..

Strip it down to the aluminum shell, and toss it into a recycling bin. The op-amp will cost at least 12 bucks + shipping to get the same output that you would already get from the radio supplying it. A waste of time by every definition.

You can buy amps for $20 shipped often, no sense in messing with that might as well get a real 2x35-75 rms amp. One day I bought a 2x300rms@2 ohms insignia for $40 shipped in the box new. Cheap amp but they work if that is your budget, or work for a while.
