Power Acoustic BAMF 5500/1 D

[S Merlington]

got another one of these amps..

There were 2 outputs blown so i removed them and tested the rest of them they all tested fine..

I replaced the 2 outputs so i could further test the amp before i replace all the outputs with new..

All the drivers tst fine as well but with the audio driverboard in the amp it will draw excessive current.. if i remove it and power up the amp it idles fine..

Does anyone know what drivers may be suspect on this board?

I've never had to replace drivers on that board. You could have a defective driver but it's not as likely as similar amps with the vertical driver board.

You could have shorted inductors.

Did some more trouble shooting on this amp..

If I have power,ground,remote hooked up the amp will power up and idle fine ..

As soon as I try to plug in the Rca's the amp will draw excessive current ..

I checked the shield ground for voltage but it was at 0.00

Anyone have any ideas why this amp draws excessive current as soon as I plug the Rca's in ?

Never mind. It was a shorted inductor ..

First time I didn't twist it enough ..
