JL Audio 500/1

[S Merlington]

This amp came in with a blown power supply ..

It has IRFZ44n's as the power supply fets along with 10 ohm gate resistors..

The board is marked REV 11


The other JL Audio 500/1 amp i have here is also a REV 11 board and is using IRFZ44N's with 47 ohm gate resistors..


Wondering what Gate resistors would be better to use the 10 ohm or 47 ohm ?

i think 47 would be better. thats what i always use. 10ohms might make it turn on to fast if i remember correct.

The rev 11 boards used 47 ohm resistors unless there has been a production change that I haven't seen yet. I'd use the original value (47 ohms) unless you have a reason to use something different.

Replaced the fets amp powers up fine and idles perfectly..

Amp has no output..

On the outputs heres what i get..

Q504 and Q507 read the same..

Leg 3:39.6

Q505 and Q506 read the same

Leg 1:6.89
Leg 2:39.74
Leg 3:0
