Is this (very badly) blown/burnt 6000 watt amp worth anything?

it looks like most of the black shit will just wipe off...

The badly burnt section of the board won't though. If there's a hole there and as bad as the traces look, it's not an easy fix.

We can fix the PCB holes, we only do it on the amps that are worth it though....

BTW: Looks like zenon board or cheap copy of a zenon. Most like yes can repair, and yes cost is $300-$400 if it's what I think it is.
Vibration > spring-clip amps

it's the same as a AB500.1 board wise, I have always been told anyhow.

hurts to see an amp i've owned in that bad a shape //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif... thing was a beast.

c/s... still trying to figure out HOW this happened!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

What was your voltage with normal operation?

What was your voltage with normal operation?

14.8 - 15.1 @ idle, dropping to the high 12's at full tilt.

And... I wasn't playing it at all when it blew. I just tried to turn the amp on after sitting for a few days, and poof...magic smoke. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

you will most likely need a replacement PCB board.

on a amp that size i would think 300-400.00

Mounting location causing vibration over time with the spring clip mosfets maybe?

is that smoke damage or water damage?lol

maybe...but it was never mounted to the box. Of course the floor of my truck has seen it's share of vibrations too, lol!

that amp is designed fot 18 volt operation, you probably killed it with low voltage.. see if cadence will repair it, looks like the proection circuitry failed..

Any trades on that beast

Any trades on that beast

hell yes... I need another (sub) amp!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
