Howdy,
I got a Power Acoustik BAMF 5500 that produces no audio output. I've got 115v +/- on the rectifiers, no DC on output terminals, actually I've got 0.0000v on terminals(seems strange because I've never had that exact of a number before, they are not shorted though), I can't trace down the audio signal because as soon as they go through the first 15,000ohm resistor the signal is no longer usable.Output voltages are as follows - IRFP264N NEG Gate -115 Drain 0 Source -116 POS Gate 0 Drain +115 Source 0 Edit : Customer said he was "beatin' on it pretty hard when it cut out", I hear the relays click during power on and power off, but I'm not sure how the power acoutiks go about clamping the signal.

Do you have signal on the small output filter inductor?
If so, the relays may have failed. When they fail, they generally melt.

I do not, before when I wrote I had zero output signal, after doing some probing I've managed to get a VERY small output on audio components, not sure how it came about but it's only ~10mV that does correspond with the input sine wave.
Kinda scratchin my head on this one..... The relays appear to be fine, visually, but I have not checked for sure. How does this amp go about clamping the signal? |

Is there any significant DC on the output pins of the op-amps near the RCA jacks?

1/2v seems a bit high.
Do you have audio reaching the class D driver board? If not, have you followed it through the op-amps to see where it stops?

Yes, I do have audio in the driver board. As to where it starts and ends, I'm not sure. My "specialty" has been in older A/B amps, with only about 15% of my business being class D, you'll have to excuse my ignorance. |

I've found the output drivers on the driver board, the signal is VERY weak, I can only see the negative half with my scope because the positive side has such high voltage on them.

Do you happen to know where the relay outputs are on the top side of the board? I noticed that the clicking only happends when B+ is applied or taken away from B+ and B-, not remote.

The relays connect the small inductor to the positive speaker terminals. Do you have the board out of the sink?
