I have a Kicker EX2000 that I need parts for, kickerusa doesnt support the EX series. Is there any Canadians out there that know of a place to get parts for these amplifiers?
I need the driver board and a parts list of the driver section with a picture or schematic of an unburned board (the driver board smoked and destroyed all indentification of the surrounding components on the main board)
Anyone know a good place to buy HiFonics driver boards? Actually I would be willy to try any driver boards that are available
It also uses IRFP064N FETS, FMU32U rectifiers and F1B30CA outputs.

New info
Ok new info the driver board in the EX2000 is the same as one from a Lightning Audio LA1000MD maybe other models. So if anyone has any other these amps laying around working or not with good driver boards Im interested

Well no luck with Rockford they stopped repairing the Lightning products, so Im back to rebuilding this or a new driver board.
Anyone know the value or the gate resistor of a IRFP064N? The one on the board are pretty brown, and when I measure them off the board the read anywhere from 11-18 ohms.

I would write that thing off as a total loss. It really is a total loss....
Only option at this point is finding a donor unit.

Your gonna need a parts amp.
You mentioned you already contacted kicker? they had sold me parts in the past. If they dont carry this PCB then your SOL unless you find a donor, or someone that had already parted one out.
But then, there is reverse engineering and making your own PCB.

I may end up with a schematic from Rockford then that is what im gonna do, its alot of work but ireally dont have much to do with my freetime.
Well what I would do, is see if you can get more detailed photo shots of that driver board. Then you can clone it, and make a new one. I had to do this only 1 time ever. it was a maxxsonics based amp, I had to make a whole new driver as the old one was dipped in epoxy.
Now I got an orion that is "braindead" persay, as the PIC chip that runs the protection, and automatic gains, etc.. is dead. So i have to come up with a hack to make that work again.

Still waiting for Rockford to see if they have a schematic of the amp, the guy is kind of elusive
When I finish with the ZX750 and KX2500 ill get back on the ball with this one I have another EX2000 on ebay so im hoping the insides are in better condition.
Anyone know where to get the board making materials?

You can etch your own boards but it's much easier to lay it out in a board editor like CadSoft Eagle and have it produced by a board house like PCBFabExpress.
There are probably better options unless you like learning new software.
