Amplifiers for Repair

[reible82nd 10+ year member]

Item(s) for Sale: I have three amplifiers that have been sitting in my garage for years now needing to be repaired, at this point I have no interest in having them fixed.

Item(s) Description/Condition:

1. Massive Audio Db8000: I had no issues with this amplifier until I hooked a sub up to it with a shifted motor (unknown to me at the time). I dropped the sub carrying it to my car but didn't think anything of it as I was under the influence of many, many beers. Then I cranked the volume after turning it on and not hearing any bass, after that the amp would power up but didn't make a sound. Needless to say I haven't touched any audio equipment under the influence since...

2. Power Acoustik A3000Db: About a day after hooking this amplifier up, I was driving home from work listening to music and the bass just faded out and never came back. It powers up fine but doesn't make any noise either.

3. Eclipse 33240 Premium: I purchased this amplifier from a caraudio.com member many years ago. The seller said it performed flawlessly, but after hooking it up it would randomly make the speakers "pop" and then go silent for 10-20 seconds...then the sound would come back. Eventually it just quit working.

Yep, and based on your location (Virginia Beach) I should make a whopping $10 or so on the sale. No worries though, I briefly thought about throwing it in the trash...but sending it to a good home to be repaired is a MUCH better idea!

Here you go. I didn't see any noticeable damage inside the amp. No burn marks or leaking caps or anything, but I'm no expert either.

I have always had a soft spot for those A3000db amps. For what they are and cost they perform well. Pretty easy repair most likely if you know what to look for. My buddy Nate (reible82nd) is a great guy too. Don't hesitate to buy from him.

Thanks for the kind words Spooney! I remember calling you when the A3000Db failed on me and you mentioned a particular component on the board of these things that's notorious for failing. Not an expensive part by any means as I recall you telling me, but requires someone with technical expertise to replace. I just want these amps to go to a good home, they're worth repairing as far as I'm concerned!
