Re: construction finally starts
Looks promising! I hope like JK that you gone use your one of a kind so beautiful MS1000. We start building installs four our children! Man, we are getting older... I have two daughters, the oldest is starting learning to drive. Hell yeah she want her own car with an exceptional audio system. When i...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
in previous post I was wrong :roll: with the 3 band. The 3th band is the multiplier number the color code is orange / black / brown orange = 3 black = 0 multiplier brown = 1 gold = 5% tolerance so this is a resistor of 30 Ohm 5% resistor the 5th band is brown, I don't know what this means, maybe oth...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
FDP55NO6 is a good replacement I think. The color code of the resistors is difficult to see (I'm not so good with colors) I think it's orange / black / brown / gold than it is a 30 Ω 5% resistor. Cut one leg of one resistor and than you can measure the resistor value with your multi meter. It should...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
Basic multi meter is ok, Fluke is good quality. P55N06 works normally with 33 Ohm resistors. Don't know if you will find new P55N06's. If not you can replace them with IRFZ48 resistors, but then you have to use 330 Ohm resitors. 5% is OK. part numbers: - IRFZ48VPBF - PPC330BCT-ND but before you orde...

Re: Possible Elite 5 issue?
installing resistors is a strange way to solve this problem.
Take a good look inside and outside the amp and search after loos parts / cables / contacts with a good light and magnifying glass.
If everything looks ok than give it to a repair guy with a good reputation.

The best and most logical way is to start there. Start wit replacing all the P55n0...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
12v is not ok.
On youtube you can find some excellent tutorials on how to test a transistor with a simple multi meter. After that you can start with the 6 power supply transistors.

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
you have 4 big black rail caps, what voltage do you measure there between the + and - of every single cap when the amp is powered up?

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
you can start with changing the 4 transistors with the 4 resistors that are connected to it. Each channel has 4 of these. You can start with only the 4 of the side who has burning marks and see what happens then. There is a (good) possibility that after this repair attempt its not working and you ha...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power
I think that the minimum damage is a blown power supply.
Do you have good soldering skills to repair this?

Re: M44 setup questions in 2003 VW Jetta.
Hello Todd If you go active I would do it the same like you suggested, except tweets and mid will be 4 Ohm operation. Don't think that adding the 9 inch sub will give better sound. Caps as close a possible to the amps. If you use the Morel filters you can use them with the tweets and mids running th...

Re: Wiring Help. PG Tantrum 6.5C Speakers and Crossovers
With the products you have the best option is to connect the mid range and tweeter to the X - over but therefore you need to desolder / cut it from the speaker connection + you have 4 wires that go to the speaker, don't know how far your skills go. You can also try to use the X-over only for the mid...
