Rockford BD1500

seankane · 1st June 2011, 02:06 AM

Hello everyone, I have a Rockford bd1500 with a missing part. The location is C92. I checked my other bd1500's but cant read the value do to location. What is a suitable replacement?

Can I just put another 63V 330uf in its place or do I have to use the little orange one?

Can I power it up with C92 missing for testing?

Yes

So to my original question why did they install the little orange capacitor, and can I replace it with a 63v 330uf like the rest of them or do I need to replace it with the little orange one??

The schematic does not specify any different capacitor other than the 63v 330uf.

Ok I am back a Power 1000a2 just fell 5 feet from the top shelf and hit me in the head. 4 puncture wounds to the arm, 2 puncture wounds to the hand, and 5 puncture wounds to the head. I am a little dizzy, vision a little blury but ready to go. There was alot of blood on my face and in my eyes but I think I got it stopped.

Ready to get back to this amp!!!!

I am going to assume the capacitor is a polyester capacitor, probably 63v like the rest but not sure of the uf rating. Can anyone tell me what it is because the schematic does not even show a different cap being used.

Can I just replace it with a normal 63v 330uf radial cap or does it have to be the little orange polyester cap?

was you joking about that unit hitting you in the head? if not leave that amp for now and repair yourself with first aid...

No not joking probably needed a few stitches but got the bleeding stopped and all is well, just waiting for someone to help me with the capacitor question I have on this amp. Any ideas?

in your above comment you said 'you can't read the cap value' has it been rubbed off? if you have a cap meter remove it an read it's value and pop an new or good one in your amp.

upload a photo of your amp with missing cap plus the one your having trouble reading the cap on... or just swap the cap in he unit being repaired and power it up...
