How do you have the RCA input's configured? Line Driver?

twisted · Post by **twisted** » Tue May 22, 2007 5:38 pm

no line driver (i dont want to feed more than 2 volts cause i was told these m class amps can be damaged by that)

and rca's are just front and rear i hooked them back up to the orion amp and all channels play like they should

i have had the WORST LUCK with m class amps latley

Try reversing (left to right and right to left) the RCA's to make sure its not the RCA or input signal as avicjr suggested to.

EDIT: never mind

If it is bad, its a shame, it looks immaculate

Maybe the previous owner modded the amp. There seems to be several different ways

ftp://208.187.38.55/Phoenix_Gold/Manual ... 66_Sub.pdf

Do you have the 2 RCA's "y"ed somewhere? In other words, how do you have the 4 channels into the 6 channel inputs for the amp connected?

Also, a line driver will do no damage, will increase your total output and save the gain. I've had a line driver on my M series amps for 12+years. Same amps, same line driver.

Edit: I just noticed that the Route 66 has only 4 channel inputs. For some reason I thought it had 6.

I see nothing wrong with the amp boards in as much as your photo's show. I think the two mode selector switches are not set correctly. Have you tried changing those setup switches.
Those mode selectors can be set wrong and you get no sound out of you M25 section.
I see what looks like a set of signal wires underneath the boards, as the M25 section has no front end electronics its signal must come from the M44 section, and those selector switches.

Try those and get back to me, you have my mail and phone.... C

The selectors are those long silver looking box's with a single aluminum shaft sticking thru the end plate cover, there are three, you can't miss them the have a straight blade slot in the end of the shaft for screwdriver adjustment

These set your inputs and thus your outputs of each channel... C

that's how they are, they take the signal from the m44 section. pita if you wanna go 3way active as you have to modify the internal wiring
