Car Audio - Amp Blown, I Think, What The Hell Is It? >.<


Recommended Posts

i have no idea about my sound system, an old mate helped me install it and now i have problems and he is over seas >.< running 4 6x9's 4 tweeters and in da boot 2 12 inch subs with an amp for ea (2).

Was having trouble a few weeks ago wit bass dropping out, ended up stripping back all my connections and was working like a mfr for 20 mins but i do believe i done something and overheated my us audio amp and now it lives in protecton mode with red light only >.<

i think ive established it is my amp and not wiring, speaker, earth or power, so next step is fixing my amp if possible or replacing it, however im notw sure what Watts/ Rms it is or if i can run them all through my single remaining amp, if n e one can tell me n e thing about this omg, would be awesome :/ thanks very much serial numba is 03081167 :cool:

So you've disconnected all speakers AND inputs, verified all fuses are in good condition and checked at the amps power terminals to make sure the full 12-13v is being delivered OK?

How is power configured going to the amp, is there a distribution block along the way that might also have fuses or bad/burnt connections in it?

thats a autobarn unit. cheap as and if the light is on - toast.

Unfortunaly for you chris is right, I used to sell that model a couple of years ago. There not very tollerant of bad connections and they really dont like low resistant loads placed on them.

If you have disconnected everything but the power and it still goes into protect its farked. If you really want it can be repaired but its really not worth it.

+1 for replacing it.

we sold a fair few of that particular amp a few years ago, most of them were manufactured around 2003-2004 so it'd have a fair bit of age on it. being a budget amplifier the life of the components wont be the greatest. however, this is the first i have heard of one failing. As far as i can see, the woofers you have are the older model pioneer TSW-305C i think is the model. They'd be single 4ohm coils and about 400wrms. Try a kenwood KAC-9104D $599 rrp, usually sold for around $400-$500 depending on what competition you have in your area. Big amp for little money.

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
