Kicker KX250 owners! I need your help!

[Aether Gray]

I have a friend's Kicker KX250.2 that has a burned up resistor on the board near the power LED. I'm quite capable of doing the repair, unfortunately Kicker won't tell me what value the resistor was, and it's burned up beyond recognition. It's my hope that a fantastically generous Kicker KX250 owner will be willing to open up their case, and take a picture or read me the color code off the resistor. It's R84, directly behind the power LED. Please help if you can.

A picture of the area I'm talking about (forgive the hacked up appearance, the resistor was buried under snot - probably why it burned up):

No one then?

So I kept calling Kicker every few days until I got someone who was willing to help. In case anyone ever needs to know, the factory part is a 1/8W 6.8K ohm resistor. I replaced it with a half watt of the same value.

And the only kx250 worth owning is the one made by kawasaki

As per the original post, the resistor had so badly decomposed there were no color bands left to decode. Hence the dilemma. So no, I could not have "just googled" a resistor calculator. Also, your distaste for Kicker products is lost on me; as originally stated: this is not my amplifier. But thanks for playing, "masterhacker".
