Broken Amplifier Help

by toxo, 17-11-2020, 02:43 PM

I fitted some old amps in my car today. I have a 4 channel amp and a 2 channel amp. The 4 channel amp was to run the speakers, and it has a low-pass preout which I ran to the inputs on the 2 channel amp. The 2 channel would then run a dual voice coil sub. When I fired it all up for the first time it worked great, but as soon as I shut/slammed the bootlid I started getting mad hum from the sub, which built and built louder and louder, so I switched off, checked my wiring to see if anything had come loose, and switched on again. Same problem. I took the 4 channel amp out of the equasion and ran the output from the stereo to the 2 channel amp, which works fine. I did some more testing with just the 4ch amp and the sub, and found that I get the same building hum (which I think is DC voltage, but I didn't have my meter so I don't know if it's 12VDC or internal rail voltage). I get it from any of the 4 speaker outputs and it's obviously outputting it down the preout to thw downstream amp as well, so I've narrowed the fault down to the input stage of the 4ch amp.

I have previously replaced the transistors in the power stage in this amp (4 or 5 years ago I expect) but as the fault seems to lie with the input stage I'm not sure where to start. All the transistors test OK, there's no obvious shorts (it doesn't blow any fuses). The amp is a Soundstream USA 364 and I can't find a schematic for it anywhere.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me find the fault?

Thought it was about time I registered here, there are plenty of nice Lexus's in OJC (as well as other marques of course ) and after meeting a few members along the way it felt like a good place to join.

Hopefully get time to get along to the odd meet here and there so look forward to meeting other members.

Hope you all had a nice xmas and roll on new years eve

Forum logging me out?

by S, 12-11-2020, 03:12 PM

Hi,

Every time i go to post a thread it asks me to log in again?

I've tried 3/4 times today to post a lengthy response in the Dimis the parts finder thread and every time it has asked me to log in again and when I do I've lost everything I've typed! Which is VERY annoying. So annoying I've given up trying to post.

Can the forum boffins find out who's side this is on? is it the forum or is it my browser? (although this happens on other browsers and on my phone regularly as well so I suspect it isn't the browser)

Thanks

Stix.
