Sorry

That's what I was wondering. Thank you for the help.

I bought this off of this forum around 7 years ago. I don't remember the details. I don't think it is a #1, I just don't remember how to read the serial numbers. Anyway, I sold the car, and will probably not have a use for this amp going forward. Please look at the serial number and let me know what...

so we have decided to look for a 2002-2004 Honda Odyssey. Why? I'd rather have PS problems than a shit transmission. The '99 to 2002 4 speeds were trash from the start. The '03 to '05 5 speeds weren't much better. The 4 speeds fail to handle the power output of the engine. the shift strategy allows...

Any chance I could just throw a power core in it?

No. The Octane LE cap bank is for the PS rail voltage not the 12v input. A power core is a no-go. The Bass Cube board sits below it as well. Space would be an issue too.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the caps right now. They are way more robust than ones used in previous designs. Epoxy is really the only way I can think of to fix the transformer noise. Mine squeals like a stuck pig most of the time when it is cold. I recommend mixing a small quantity of 30 minute epo...

I have an extra smoked 0.3 plexi but there are stress cracks around the screw holes. I can post pics if there is interest.....

Yes.

PMs are good too because some of us don't check here daily.

From their site:

To obtain parts on any Rockford Fosgate product, please call our Customer Service line at 1-800-669-9899 (U.S. & Canada only). Please have the product in front of you when you call so we can obtain the Serial Number and Model Number from the product.

Post the model specifics of the unit and I might be able to help.

Nice, but why you hide the Octane? Flo Because as I type this there is a 30# can of R134a freon, a vacuum pump, and a digital scale in my trunk. It has to retain some functionality, even though I have a Superduty for the heavy stuff. Looks good! How hot does it get under the glass? I saw your fans ...

I whipped this out in about a total of three days over the last two weeks. It's a '99 Acura CL, so basically a Honda Accord with fancier sheetmetal and a nicer interior. Nothing Special. Premier DEH-P860MP deck MB Quart Discus 6.5" components Cheap ass Kicker 12s Octane LE http://i102.photobuck...

Shit... It's grey silkscreen. The PLD I have is blue. That's what I get for packing it up and not looking at it for 10 years. Sorry for getting your hopes up.

I should have one in my storage unit. I bought it new in '95 or '96....... I'll check when I can.

Picked up an Octane LE from Christian. He shipped it promptly and packaged it very well. The amp looks and works great. Thanks again Christian!

Classic ground loop. Connect the ground for the LD and the Deck at the same location as the amp.

How well sealed is your enclosure? It is easier to push air out of a small hole than suck it back in. You could be creating a small vacuum in the enclosure sucking in the woofer a little as it plays.

Q8 is the location on the board. You should be able to see it silk screened in close proximity to the ZTX749 transistor in that location. Common symbols used in car amplifiers: IC = integrated circuit Q = transistor D = diode ZD = zener diode L = inductor/choke T = transformer J = jumper R = resisto...

Q8/ZTX749 on the PS daughterboard IIRC.

If you have 12v and ground going to the 350 and it won't turn off, even with the remote wire disconnected, you probably have a shorted transistor on the PS control board.

The fuse in the amp, or the fuse at the battery/distribution block? The PS input caps store some current, and the leds will illuminate for a little while if you have the ground and remote connected without a +12 feed. They will deplete after a few seconds.

Current death toll in the 500: 16x IRFz40 MOSFETS 3x 2N4403 PNP transistors 1x 1k okm 1/4 watt resistor 16x 10 ohm 1/4 watt resistors 1x Tip35C transistor 1x 8.2k 1 watt resistor 1x 3525 PWM controller 2x 2n4401 NPN transistors The remote turn on circuitry was shorted, all 16 PS MOSFETS were shorted...

Well, if sdsport92064 lives in Poway, like the name suggests, I live about 10 minutes away, and could look at the amp to diagnose the repair.

Where are you located?

Old people are to driving as young people are to:

d) all of the above

Should I still be concerned? The caps are $2 each, and take about 45 minutes per amp to replace. A 1.5" hole burned through the PCB and the resulting peripheral damage could take days to weeks to repair, if it is within your skill level. It will also never be the same cosmetically. I have fixe...
