Crunch PZX1500.1 power terminals

[Don Hathcock]

Where can I look to find the power terminal block for this amp?

It's a long shot but you could try the manufacturer.

Ebay has replacement blocks but you have to be careful about the reach into the amp and the orientation of the screw and terminals (where they solder into the board) as well as the pin configuration.

Are yours missing or beyond saving?

I have been searching ebay, but I think I need to adjust my search parameters. I may try to make the metal piece that's missing and make something work if I can't find one reasonable.

Worst case, run wires out of the amp. It doesn't look great but it works perfectly well. It's better than sending it to a landfill.

 

[Don Hathcock]

Thanks for the hint. I just located a new one.

This sort of problem is more common when they use CCA wire. If that's what they're using, make a couple of 1ft leaders from solid copper and insert them between the CCA and the amp.

I will find out what type wire he is using. I just had repaired another amp (Power Acoustik) for this guy where the ground terminal melted out of the circuit board and also melted the clear plastic encasement. Nothing else was wrong. I told him that I thought it was caused by a lose ground connection.
