Amp only works if I put pressure on it :s

[PuZo 10+ year member]

I have a DLS A6 and for some reason it doesn't power the subs unless I apply pressure with my hands onto the back where all the connections are....... It worked well before but just suddenly now its not. Should I open up the amp and take a look? not sure what else to do....

It sounds like a solder joint has broken loose, unless your handy with electrical work you may want to find someone to do it for you.

I opened it up and nothing is loose or disconnected...

And I was putting pressure on I think like the sub sonic phase or w/e, not the Power which is on the other side of the amp

somethings loose in there go through check all connections

I agree. If you have to put pressure on it, you have a bad connection, cold solder joint, broken solder joint. You may not find it just looking. You may need to poke around inside with something non-metallic to find it. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then call the manufacturer and send it in for repair. This is a typical solder joint failure scenario. Even if you do find it, what are you going to do? If you didn't know this was likely a solder issue, then you should send it in anyway. You could make it worse trying to fix it yourself...
