[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8564823, member: 614752"] A battery on a cheap charger, a cheap head unit, and a cheap 8 ohm speaker should be adequate to test an amp at low power. Fuses should be used and use alligator clips for quick connecting. I don't think most amps are terribly complex.... the technology is decades old on most. The problem is everything is based upon knowing all the basics. AC theory, DC Theory, and Solid State theory were all each a full semester when I took them 20 years back and that was only understanding how electricity works and the basic functions of components. You won't in a million years repair anything without at least that under your belt. For the record AFAIK Stephen Mantz is self taught, though he is probably on the far right of the IQ bellcurve. Steve at Amp Medics learned about electronics repair in the military. I didn't say you claimed that, I was trying to clarify for OP since he missed it. [/QUOTE]
