Re: Ti2 1000.4

It sounds like your question is about a kenwood head unit, it has little to do with the amp. You should probably reach out to customer service wherever you bought the gear from. It's difficult to even understand your question...

Re: Who needs a bass cube knob?

I just ordered more parts yesterday. You can email me from the email link on the phorum here. It's the best way to get me quickly.

I was on vacation the last week of March through last week. I'll be back at the shop tomorrow.

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 ...

I've only worked on a few of the newer aamp PG products, but they are almost all common Korean designs with a bit nicer lipstick on them.

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?

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 ...
