I have an older 1kwatt amp, it cuts in and out during play. But it doesnt lose power. It just pulses, and seems to not want to produce bass. I broke it open, and looked but nothing seemed wrong with the board. What could be the issue?

And yes it has brand new wiring/fuses so thats not the issue.

Thanks in advance,

check the wiring and ground points anyways!

 

I have bro, It only does it with this amp. My other amp works fine. Im thinking that something may be wrong with the amp itself, but as I said. The board looks fine. I didnt see any damaged resistors or cracks in the board.

 

Well if it only does it with that amp, it's the amp. Problem solved. And you usually can't "see" anything wrong with an amp unless you caught the thing on fire. Sounds like you're just going to be stuck buying a new amp.

 

Cant you have amps reconditioned? Or am I mistaken?

 

over heating?? or does it do it when cold>>>???

 

It does it all the time, its internally cooled with a fan though. Everything kicks on fine, but it doesnt want to play. It will play the tune but once bass hits the first time it will cut in and out.

 

Amp repairs usually cost so much, you're better off just getting a new amp.

 

+1

Though, I fear it still may be with the wiring. Take all the other amps out of the picture. Only put in that amp. Fixed? Try putting in another amp, if it still works, recheck wiring while putting in third (assuming you have that many).

Still have the issue? Might just be the amp itself. Get a new amp! new technology rocks, the market doesn't.

 

Protection lights? What ohm load are you running? Bridging the amp? Ohm load may be too low for this "older" amp...
