TXA-1000d-Think it may be fried!!

[stangman67 10+ year member]

Hey all, I am a regular over at caraudioforums.cim. Thought I would post my problem here to see if there is any more insight.

My Amp(Cadence TXA1000d) was working perfectly last night and then this morning I went out to start my car and there is no bass. Amp powers on, not in protect. With my DMM I measured 14 volts at the power input with the car running, the ground is good, and I also measured voltage at the speaker outputs and there is no voltage. Tried hooking my Ipod directly up to the amp via rcas and still no sound. Thinking the speaker outputs are fried on the amp... Dam. Hopefully there is something I am overseeing because I love this amp and I don't have money to replace it with anything.

Thanks in Advance

check voltage out on your rca wires

edit- nvm seen you used an ipod, probably went bad

I hate that amp, Ive got 3 of them, and have had 4 fail on me...

Well that's not cool, For the most part I have had good experiences with Cadence. Even though it is used and not under warranty they said their tech department would fix it for me. Thumbs up for customer service at least!

have you opened it up and ohmed the outputs?

 

[stangman67 10+ year member]

No I have not. What exactly do you mean by ohm the outputs. I have a DMM so I can measure resistance..

make sure the output tansistors are not shorted

Where do I measure the resistance? I have the amp opened up right beside me now

I get a .3 ohm reading on both positive and negative output fets

what does it matter? They said they would fix it. Put the lid back on and ship it out.
