Hi @ all
I have a Sony XM-1502SX XPlod amp. There were two FET in the audio curcuit that caused a short. I replaced the FET and hooked the amp to my 12V power supply using a 6.8Ohm resistor in series to prevent the amp if the power supply was bad. Ok, no more overcurrent or warning lights anymore.
So I connected the amp to 12VDC without the resistor in series and turned it on. When the Sony is turned on it draws a 4 Ampere idle current.
The idle current is not stated in the user´s manual. Does anyone have specs on that amp ? I know of some older JBL/Harman amplifiers that idle currents with more than 3Ampere .....
What else could I check ? The rectifier diodes are ok and each capacitor reading was 2200µF so they should be fine,too.
Thx
Steph
