Hi all,
First off I would like to say that I am not a repair tech, just someone into audio equipment.
This thread is about my ads amp. It is an 860, not the 850 I see talked about on here. I have had the amp for some 5 years and it has always been great. Right now I have it out, getting ready to build a new system in a different car. I would like to take this chance to give something back to it. I understand caps die over time and abuse, so I was thinking about changing them out. Are there other components I should also replace? I have a nice iron, and plenty of experience soldering, but minimal with internal components.
Does this sound like a good idea? The amp is in good working order, I just dont feel the need to replace it, and would like to see many more years from it. This amp has 12 gauge wire from the fuses to each power supply, I was looking to see is I could maybe fit some 10. The ground jumpers is an 8, maybe a 6 could fit. Do any of you have experience with this amp? Even if not any suggestions are much appreciated.
