Hi guys Im just wondering if anyone has any information that might help identify why my amp buzzes. Its not the speakers its the amp itself. As if there is a fan on the inside and there could very well be. If so then I suppose there is no need for alarm but if not then why the buzzing? It works perfectly fine, and always has. It has always buzzed too and was bought as a refurbished amp with a 3 year warranty. So anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be?

power supply coils, is the amp mounted to the box?
F*ck it, we'll do it live
My rubi2500 has a fan, i don't know if they put one on the 800.

No its not mounted to the box but it will be soon. I just ordered a 12" Gcon should be here in a few days. I have a warranty on it but It works so Im not sure I should warranty it.

So what would be a better alternative in a 150$ budget?

Yeah I agree with DDtC. I had a Rubicon 1.2500d and it started buzzing and finally went out. It was under warranty so I sent it back to Soundstream and they sent me a new which I traded for a good ole American Bass HD2500. Half the power, but worth the trade.

Ah, sounds like what the problem I had with my DB drive. Except I was the reason why it made the noise. It was because I idiotically shorted out the amp. I decided to try to unscrew the ground cable...forgetting that 1/0 gauge had 1,000 of copper wires in it...and a couple split out from the ground hole and hit the positive cable. (Had like 5 cm of the positive wire showing) Shorted it out and it started making a buzzing noise. Got a new one.. Never did that mistake again.
