[QUOTE="SeanDub, post: 4309047, member: 568046"] Well, I was out doing some testing on the Stetsom 2k6 the other day (got some decent numbers - 2925 watts at 0.95 ohms), and at the end of testing I decided to do one more tone, and as I did it the amp went into protect. So I went inside and let it cool off for a few hours and came back out and turned on my car to check out the amp and I'm getting a nice blue power light. However, I'm not getting any bass. So I turned on a test tone and turned it up the volume and I hooked up my DMM and clamp. The DMM was reading fine, telling me that the AC voltage was unaffected and still where I set my gains to with that particular tone. However, the clamp meter showed there was no current coming from the amp going to the speaker. Well, I was hoping it was just the blown inline fuse, but I can't easily get to that fuse to check. [B]So I'm asking if that test I did that shows there is AC voltage but no AC current indicates that the amp is blown.[/B] Or is there something else I can test? How do shops check if an amp is blown? Opening the amp up and getting to that fuse would be a pain in the ***, so I'm trying to leave them as last resorts. [/QUOTE]
