xs amps recap

Post by audi6 »

Hi
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but i cant seem to find a def answer, i have a chance to buy a couple of xs4600 quite cheap ( person had them running in his car with no problems ) but i am wondering do these suffer from the same cap problems as the other pg amps.

Thanks

If you post a photo of the circuit board, we can tell you. There are several amps around that age which do not require a cap change. There are also some amps which do if they have certain caps, and don't if they have others.

Please take some photos of the caps (smaller ones) near the power input terminals of the amplifier.

I don't think you need to worry about any of those caps. They are not the ones well known for failing.

XS amplifiers were after the batch of bad caps. I think I only recall one person finding a bad cap on an XS amp.
XS2300, XS2500, XS2300, X200.4, X100.2, Ti21000.4, Roadster 66
