Hello everyone,
I have a question about my Rockford bd1000.1 amp I have, it is still working but does have a lower power output. I took the amp apart and I did find one of the semi conductors is cracked and on the back side of the board it did get a little burnt. The question I have is, I can repair the board and obviously solder in a new conductor, but can I purchase just one, or will I have to do the whole row? part# 5n05HD is showing they're discontinued, but I am finding a replacement for it. Any help would be appreciated.

You would need to replace all if the power supply fets in the amp .
You can use IRF3205pbf as replacements.
I generally use 47 ohm gate resistors with the 3205’s but I believe anything 51 ohms or less should be fine with the 3205’s

Have you ever worked with the Rockford MEHSA insulators?
Having only one blown FET shouldn't make the amp produce less power. It generally simply causes the others to fail.
Please (and this applies to anyone who needs repair help) use your sig line to list all equipment you have, editing it as equipment changes. Include the model numbers. If you can't do this due to being a new member, make a list in the next post.

Is that 47k ohm ¼ watt resistors that you use with the IRF3205pbf's?
