Mine is missing the board...

Can the fans be wired without a control board?
Or are there instructions of how to construct a board or purchase one?

So they are temp probes?

Can someone clarify what the 30 gauge black/red twisted pair of wiring running along the sink channel (caulked in) and soldered to the board is for on the black colored MS2250's with fan shroud?

Welcome to PP. Most info can be found here, see the post on replacing caps, the part number and link can be found there: http://phoenixphorum.com/viewforum.php?f=6 Ebay has replacement hardware for the amp. Either purchase a new case form a member here (if available) or respray the one you have. As ...

Here is what is happening with my system. I got hit from behind while sitting at a stoplight. My speakerbox turned over backwards landing on the rca cables, thus pushing in the outputs. Now the subs are not playing but the amps are on, when I move the rca cables, the subwoofers starts going crazy. ...

"what's your take on the smaller ones, are they just ALL prone to heat no matter location on the board? " are you talking about resistors or caps ?? I was referring to the caps. There seems to be no consistency from amp to amp of the same series which of the small caps get hot and melt th...

pics succesfully resized. the green wirewound resistors are not the ones from the mouser link..... they were the only ones available at farnell(european newark) at the moment..... result stays the same..... no regrets about this resistor replacement.... it is much much more reliable.....if you don'...

i should open an amp to be sure, but i thought, exactly the same as the one just next to it !! i tried to upload a pic, but the file was to big !! It may be the same (too melted to tell), I just want to verify before I order some up. i will open an m44, try to take a pic as good as possible...... b...

M50 ---- two resistors of 330 ohms.... M100--- four resistors of 160 ohms.... zpa0.5--two resistors of 330 ohms....(R35/R36) other amps i don't know the values..... i replace them all with a 5W model and 1/2inch to 3/4inch away from the board..... make sure they don't "touch" a little cap...

check this link for the 91 ohms, 5W resistors.....for the M44

Thanks man, I wanted to verify that those specs were still recommended replacements.

Was there any conclusion to the best route for this resistor replacement?
Single or double?
What are the specs?

Just to verify, are the (2) resistors below and right to the large blue caps recommended replacement values?

91K ohm, 5 watt

Repairing the rca terminals was not so badly done, install the new ones like that and you'll be fine. About the cap replacement; I think the method that I described to repair this kind of damage will work. I advice to replace the small caps and re-solder the resistors as caps that have been under a...

Nico, can you provide me some pointers on the following from a Route66 M44 side. Previous repair on RCA terminals, before: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/JayGold/20120701_172023.jpg After removal of terminal. Looks as if some of the board traces were pulled off during the last repair job. What...

Purchased a Route 66...smooth to deal with and passed along a nice LE amp.
Thanks again and nice to meet you.

Wonderful build, design and execution....enjoy it thoroughly!

Thanks guys, as for the specs I have 100uF and 25V, I just couldn't find any concrete info if it helps to upgrade these from 85C to 105C and which series to purchase.
The OEM ones are Panasonic SU-Series, I have also found Panasonic FC-Series....what does the series pertain to?

Wow, usually I get answers fairly quick on here. Has no one ever swapped out the smaller caps, I have searched up and down the site for info on this and either its very vague, unanswered or not found in a search.

Someone has to know. Help please?

Anyone?

I'm in the process of refreshing the caps on an MS2125 and came along the following which may need some attention at board locations 329, 330, and 325: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/JayGold/20120615_165956.jpg If they need replacement, please suggest a part number/brand/etc. from Digikey? All...

Remove the screws, then select a drill bit (4mm or so) that fits perfectly into the transistor hole. Push the flat end of the drill bit all the way into the hole (PG p0rn:-)) and use it as a lever to gently bend the transistor off the heatsink. And prior to that, heat the sink with a hair-dryer to ...

Replacing caps on a MS2125, the transistors will not pop from the sink with the OP's technique....any alternative suggestions?

Perhaps you can enumerate a bit on the advantages and disadvantages of a PLD vs TBA(t)?
