Help: blown plate amp module

[konman]

Hi

I have a blown amp module from a Digitech cs2457 jaycar spec sub

Symptoms: Fuses blow as power is applied after the toroid
Speaker is blown into a crunchy voicecoil mess
caps are blown - atleast one of them.
relay has scorch marks inside.

Is it worth trying to fix this or could there be something else blown apart from the capacitors.

If i try and replace capaciters would i have a fighting chance? Would the fuse blow because of this?

I have a replacement 4 ohm driver to go in (sony car sub) will do the job for now.

would the torroid be ok? or could that have bit the dust also.

thanks for your thoughts guys

Hi konman,

Sorry I can't help you with any specifics, but this looks like a solid state amplifier design. You should probably post this or have this thread moved to the solid state forum.

I have a Digitech Audio CS2457 panel amp that smoke came out from.

I have taken it out of the subwoofer enclosure. This amplifier is definitely NOT a digital amp! 🙄

None the less I'm also wondering whether it's worthwhile to replace the panel amp as I do not know if the driver itself is OK or not.

Decisions decisions....

Anyone know where I can find a replacement amp that has the same dimensions? Preferably not the same amp - as the construction looks very cheap and nasty.
