Slightly Toasted

Post by Rold Gold »

So I got myself a blown X1200.1 for a steal and need to get it fixed....
Not sure what the issue is but I know what the cause was.... Only 1 set of power/ground cables were used. :? Even though I explicitly told him to make sure to use both..... :lol:

Popped off the top and couldn't really find anything significant as far as toasted components.......

Doc...............can ya help me?

What does it do now, nothing?
Got "schooled" by member shawn k on May 10th, 2011...
No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.
Hands down the forum's most ignorant member...

It was Nick...........Yeah, I know huh.


It does nothing as of now I'm told. I haven't tried to power it up as I don't have a test bench.... Any ideas....?

try thowing it in the trash and buying something that works, or are you so broke that you need to fix junk to get your rock on. That sucks they didn't hook up two 8 gauge wires instead of one and blew you wee little toy.

ROFL

I love it. Sorry EricD and ttocs - we have a new contender...

thepolicerhere - here's the deal... old PG amps are kinda special to folks here. We have a tendency to pick them up in various stages of life and various conditions of usefulness... then through the magic of shared knowledge, a lot of know-how and the love of a "thing" we find a way to bring them back to life... sometimes back to the way they were new, and sometimes back into other forms that are much better than the original design.

Now, I understand if all you have ever done is bought Fosgate (or the like) and used/abused then thrown away the piece of garbage when it failed... not realizing that it was your fault it failed when you used drywall screws to attach it to your subwoofer enclosure... only to have its insides rattled out. But thats not how things are done here.

Its obvious to all of us that your angry... probably because you have never had a real high-quality piece of car audio gear that you treated with the respect that it and its engineering deserved and now think that all old gear is crap... its understandable... ignorance rears its ugly head every day and ultimately its how brands like Fosgate, Pyramid, Funky Pup and Pyle have survived for so long...

obviously your the type of person to only buy brand new cars, brand new houses, brand new everything every couple of years and sees no value in the quality of craftsmanship, from a time when labor was cheap and technology was expensive versus the throw-away world we live in now where technology is cheap and labor is expensive.

PG and every other brand out there needs people to buy only new gear every year or two to stay in business. In which case, we all appreciate you and your willingness to constantly and systematically downgrade your car stereo and probably most other things in your life... most of us like to have well made high-end car audio items that far surpass the quality standards of today and are willing to spend our most precious resource to have it... time.

So, what I am really trying to get at here is ... go fuck yourself. Most of these guys have more gold (Phoenix) tucked into their attics and under their floorboards than fort knox. Until you have a clue as to what the fuck you are talking about, go back to caraudio.com or whatever rock douche-nozzles like you crawl out from under. :shifty:

NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED THREAD........

So I guess I'll have to have Bogart try to power it up and see what it's doing or not doing......

But like said, NO real visable damage to the board that I can see......
