Orion 2500D mods (pics of bad rework?)

[garrettpf 10+ year member]

I just got an Orion 2500D from a fellow member that got it from antoher fellow member who got it from another fellow member and then I get lost from there.

Regardless, It has been worked on. I do not know if it was due to abuse or if it was modded as one of the traces on the IC where cut (and very poorly at that). I cannot begin to explain all the things that where wrong in the rework but I am going to re-do it all and will post pics of a proper solder job when I am done.

But first //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Since I do not know what was done to the amp (yet), Are there mods that can be done to this amp? I guess for myself I do not need gobs of power since I am only running to fi 10's. But I would like the best parts in there that I can get.

Any help would be appreciated.

below are the 10mp pics (56k go eat some cake, you should be ashamed of yourself);

cut trace, a single razor slice is all you effing need. Don't damage the effing board

Bad solder, did'nt scrape wire shielding

Bad solder, think I might hurl

not too bad, just too much or too little

Bad solder, again, strip wire shield and try to hit the solder bad not the IC

Nice hot glue work. Didn't even clean board

Powered up fine for me when I had it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And he bought it from me, and I bought it from tommy21077 and he bought it from sxkicker89, when I bought it from tommy, I put it in my jimmy, hooked it up, powered my subs and worked fine. decided to go another route and sold it for the usual asking price of an orion 2500D. Not once did I ever look the guts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You got it from someone on here you say?

 

[joetama 5,000+ posts]

So who modded it?

tommy21077 or sxkicker89?

Because one of them needs to learn how to work on circuits...
