amp is cutting out

[bsheltry55 10+ year member]

my amp stoped working, the power light and fan is on but does put out anything. if i hit the amp on top by where the pos. neg and rem wires are it works for like 1 sec the cuts out. i have hear little noises from the sub but i have to be right next to it. the noises arnt from the deck bc i had the deck off. but this had happened to me b4 and i took the amp apart then put it back together and worked fine for a week then did it today.

what amp is it? I have an old school orion XTR475 that has plugs and I pulled the plugs off one day and the positive terminal solder mount broke and came out... simply soldered it and its back to its original beastly state.

hell yea it was cheap $150 brand new but i dont care it gets me threw till i can buy something better. it was because i had it mounted on my box and a peice broke. i baught a box off someone and he said it was 3/4 mfd wood but its only 1/4 lol

sounds like when you tap on it something briefly touches something else and you get output, i bet a solder on the board or something of that nature busted.

a 1/4" mdf box would get blown to pieces in my setup, that is just stupid. when you are ready to spend $150 on a quality amp come to the forum and we will help you. Until the keep hitting your amp and expecting something out of nothing.

hope you don't think your getting 4000 watts from that amp..

 

[bsheltry55 10+ year member]

haha i know that lol. i dont even think im getting 2000 at one ohm. is their a forum on here that can tell me how to figure that out. i found a chart a few months ago that converted volts into watts but i cant find it.

i am going to be buying a better amp when i get my new job.

i baught a spl z1x3000 or suttin like that and the boss amp blows it away. so im trying to get rid of that amp
