Voltage regulator help - Click HERE for Original Thread
audiobahnkid592
My voltage regulators on my amp (audiobahn a18001dt) amp are messed. my question is what should I check?
BWRX
What part(s) are they?
audiobahnkid592
if you mean part number
KIA7915PI
KIA7815A
BWRX
The 7915 is a negative voltage regulator (the 15 in the number means -15V output) and the 7815 is a positive voltage regulator (the 15 in the name means 15V output).

A google search for the specific part won't help much, but a search for the part datasheets from a reputable manufacturer will help you better understand how they're used.

According to your picture you have no Power Supply transistors on the board. Without them you will get no voltage to the regulators.

Why do you think they are bad? The only problem I have ever seen with them in this amp are broken legs.

Ok after I put the new Mosfets in I will Remeasure them. Im not all that familiar with a class d amp.
