Blown amp

[digitalrainman 10+ year member]

Hello,

I have a Cadence TXA-6004 amp that just blew. It was one of the defective ones that should have never been sold with the smaller heatsink. I know it overheated since it did it a few times before but just shut off. This time i was listening to it very low and i just heard a pop then no sound. I felt the amp and it definitely overheated. It now will only go into protect mode when turned on, and wont play any sound.

I checked the fuses and both look fine still. Is there anything else that i can look at to see if it can be fixed? I havent dealt with a blown amp before.

Well the one i got was intentionally never supposed to be sold from what ive heard. It was a version that had too small of heatsinks and cadence never officially sold them, they somehow got into the hands of ebay sellers though.

Personally though i probably still wont buy a cadence amp again so i wont have to worry if they can keep a hold of their failed units.
