Hey all,

I've got a busted amp that is pumping out positive charge through the negative terminal, and it's blowing every fuse that I put in it. Anybody know any place on the gold coast where someone would know what to do about this? I'm not really keen on buying a new amp. but if it comes to that, then fine...just need to get a professional opinion on what the hell is going on with this amp.

It's been out of the car for a while now, n I miss the thumping bass. So it's time to get stuff done. I just dunno where to go to get sound equipment fixed. Brisbane car sound don't do any repairs as far as I know. Can anybody get me in the right direction about this?

many thanks,

Zak

G'day,

I might be able to point you in the right direction, unfortunately I'm off work till after New Years so I can't speak to the right people till then. Might be able to get an email through to someone though.

We're based in Melb., but we have repairers in most states to speed things up a bit for our products.

You should be able to get it repaired, I'm not a tech but I'm pretty sure the MOSFETs are just F$%#@! (ah, fried.) Oh, what amp make/model is it? Would help to work it out.

Will give you a yell when I find out from work.

Merry Christmas! :alcoholic

what amp ahve you got .Unless its a decent amp you would probably be better off replacing.If you speak to someone at dick smith or tandy or jaycar they will be able to put you onto an electronics repairer.Most cheaper amps are not worth fixing.

Go easy on the thumpin tunes man,if your blowing amps imagine what your ears are doin!!

I've got a very simple Boss amp...it came with the car when I bought it. I don't really turn up the bass at all, cos the speakers were never really that good to begin with...the thing just died on me, n it took me a while to realise that the sub wasn't doing anything.

I'd like to replace it, but if it can be fixed for a cheaper price, that's the only option I can think of for now. I'll speak to those guys, n see what can be done...thanks for that.

Cooks, got ur pm...thanks again man, u've been a great help!

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
