What could be wrong with my DIAMOND D3 1000.1

[mxer69 10+ year member]

Just bought one online. Paid $50 shipped for it. Not sure if anything is wrong with it but its likely a hit or miss

Looks clean but is there anything I should look out for?

Also how good are these amps on power? (what volts etc. etc.)

Thanks

That's a good deal unless its blown up. If you want, pop the cover off and look for burnt spots on the board or burnt parts prior to installation. It's a class D amp so it shouldn't **** a lot of juice.

Yeah thats what I thought. Worst case I could find someone to repair it or sell it as broken. This will be the first amp I open up so I'll probably be asking for help when it comes in. If it works, it will be powering my Fi BL 12"

Anyone know the power these put out? Realistically of course..

From any car shop, some hardware shops also sell them. If you can't find any, which I'm sure you will, buy them off eBay.

So I put new fuses in, hooked it up (checked I was doing everything right) and it went straight into protect mode when I hooked it up.

Any ideas on what could be wrong? The inside of the board looks to be immaculate as well as the outside of the amp

The output inductors look really dark, maybe it's just the pics, likely if the inductors are burned up bad enough they will need to be rewound or replaced, and you probably have some bad output mosfets and likely output drive board problems as well because of the bad outputs... If those inductors are burned up someone likely ran this amp VERY hard...

Ahh that all sounds expensive lol. But you would know best... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I guess I'll sell it as broken. I'm not knowledgeable enough to do this myself
