This place has been crazy dead... I think I hear an echo

... Echo... echo...

It's like a graveyard in here. I'm only posting this to see if the phorum is actually broken. I can't believe it's been 6 months since they're had been a post.

Re: Bass Cube Remotes

We still make them, but probably not fit much longer. I'm almost out of the specialty gain pot and I've not been able to source more.

Re: RX 600.5 Reverse polarity diodes Help please!

1N5400.

Any standard 3a rectifier with a >50V rating will work fine though. Their only job is to go short circuit when reverse polarity is applied. Kind of the opposite of a fuse to ensure the actual fuse does go open

Re: PG M50 Where to find PS rectifier specs

If you tried to test the rectifiers in circuit they will always appear shorted. They cannot be tested in circuit as the transformer windings are directly across them. Out of hundred, I can count on one hand the number of PG amps I've had with shorted power supply rectifiers. It almost never happens ...

Re: Titanium 800.1 Cuts out in Hot Weather

Iirc the polyswitch thermal sensors are designed to switch at 110° C. Obviously the interior of your car and amp should never be getting hot enough to boil water, sun or no sun. I expect that you still have something going on. In regards to your previous post, there are no transistors involved with ...

Re: PG Titanium 800.1 Stuck in Thermal Protection

I've never seen a bad thermal sensor on any of these. It uses several ptc polyswitches as thermal sensors. I'd still bet on the trace under the rca connector. It's far more rare and unlikely, but it could be a failing comparator which is used to supervise and trigger the different fault conditions. ...

Was it working previously? Did you or someone else who is not a qualified tech disassemble and reassemble it? For that matter, tech or not, did anyone unfamiliar with these disassemble and reassemble it? If it went into thermal after being opened and then then reassembled, it's almost certainly a br...

Re: Zx350 OVL then Steady Green after cap repair

Overload led for a few seconds and then green led is normal startup behavior. The o/l led is lit while the poweramp is muted during power up. This is to keep any pops or thumps from hitting the speakers. The amp can easily overload a small DC power supply. You can run a more stout supply and either ...
