Bro its a POS amp if your friend cant except that and move on then let him go. It was broke when u touched it. Broke is broke so tell him to deal with his $10 loss or move along..
No, you speak idiot quite well.when your intellegant its hard to speak idoit. from what i can comperhand he tried to turn the gain screw(wtf its a potentiometer how does screw come into play?) but he misunderstood the placement of the screw driver? i mean you too dumb to know where your puttng the driver? what the hell did you actually hit? its pretty bad when you brain tells your hand go here and you cannot make that happen. sorry OP you have a long road ahead.im guessing the pot came loose and its now not going though the pot(where lower or raisise ressitance in the circuit) so no hes not getting ANY output.
I highly recommedn you bring the amp to someone who can actually use a screw driver without screwing anything up..
Those amp guts are so sad, lolThanks for all the replies to the thread. Here's the exact amp:
Audiovox Rampage Amp-591 300w Bridgeable Stereo Mosfet Amplifier W/ Crossover
Here are pictures of it torn apart:
On this picture, I had already pushed the gain back to it's original position.

You're an idiot.
Whew...lesson learned DON'T TOUCH **** YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT...sheesh.Alright listen guys, I'm out of place here. I know absolutely NOTHING about amps nor do I understand any of it. I have a brief knowledge of how electrical currents work but merely anything to compensate for what happened.
I can't even tell you the AMP brand. It's not in my possession and I don't have a memory of what it was called. It was a 300 watt.
So apparently, the guy he had previously bought it from had broken the gain switch. In order to turn the gain knob, you must take a flat head screw driver and turn the head of the screw. My friend wanted to mess around with it. I personally took a flat head screw driver and attempted to turn it.
I misunderstood the placement of the screw driver and I ended up pushing the screw backwards, thus turning the speaker off. The amplifier remained on and we replaced the fuse on the side of the amp. But, I do not think the fuse had been busted. And even if it was, if I placed another in there wouldn't it just bust as well? Regardless, the screw is now permanently pressed back and my friend left pissed as hell.
So now, I'm going to have to figure this out. Luckily enough, my neighbor's son is an electrician so maybe he'll help out. He's going to drop the amp off tomorrow for me to fix it because I told him I would or buy him a new one. Regardless, do you think this is an easy fix?
No he haven't but if your in the market for one you can pm mewow! I know this wasn't directed towards me but now I'm excited about this amp you have! Has OP contacted you yet?
