Amp question.

[Big-Kokujin]

So my amp(ed nine.1) is jacked up for some reason. It was working Tuesday fine then all of a sudden it just stopped. So I get home and I see I blew a 100 amp fuse. So I go to get another and they are out. So yesterday the biggest I could find at first was an 80, so I bought it. put it in and pop...so i get some the pack from wally world with 2 40s and 2 100s. I check the fuse and its not blown. I check the fuses on the amp, and all 4 are blown. I change them out and pop, the 80 is blown. I check all the connections, nothing is touching anywhere, i reposition the cables because the ground was showing a little, checked everything again. Cranked and pop there goes a 100. checked everything again disconnected one of the voice coils(19ov.2) and pop there goes a 40. So now I'm depressed. Henry(speakerbox) made a call and they said it might be the amps power supply. I get home and switch out the amp, at first the other amp was going in protection mode, mid you its only like a 200watt or so. I disconnect a voice coil again and, wamp wamp, it plays. So now I'm even more depressed. Then i put the power, ground and remote back on the nine.1 and pop there goes another 40. So in total I blew 5-30s, 2 40s, 1 80 and 1 100...*sigh*...

Anybody know how this might have happened? I want to send it back because of the warranty, but I don't see how this would be covered as a "manufactors' defect" Anybody have any ideas?

EDIT: I also forgot to mention, the amp comes on at first then the power light fades out, the fuse blows while its fading out.

Since you had problems still after changing out amps, I would think it's not the amp. Try a different speaker and see if it works.

[Big-Kokujin]

well, yes and no...I had to disconnect a voice coil because it was only a 200 watt amp. But i actually mistyped what i did..i'll fix it...but i didn't hook the sub back to the ED amp when it blew the last 40.

[trebor]

The eD amp blew a fuse without anything hooked up to it then? Send the amp to eD, if it comes back to you and the say that there's nothing wrong with it then you know that the problem is elswhere in the install.......power or ground issue.

[Big-Kokujin]

I swear man. I'm bout ready to give up...I just put the 19ov back in saturday. Its been sitting at home since march, because I blew it in feb...now this...shit...and the lakefront meet is this weekend, and its a possibility i won't have any slap...whoo hoo...

not sure whats going on but call ed. can't complain with free tech support for life.

[trinben]

we could always try hooking everything up in my box :ponder:

[Big-Kokujin]

As long as you supply the fuses...

I've been waiting for them to come online

[Nebster]

call them up i know they're there

641.792.2501

i just told chris that it was off so it should be going online now

[Big-Kokujin]

Thanks...

Call and talk to Chris aka Mandos.........

Like it was said free tech support!

Also the 200watt went into protection probally because of the way he had the subs wired ohm wise.

Okay I figured it out. When I checked again, the plug for the bass knob was out of the amp, thus shooting the gain to max...so its not under warranty...So i took it to a local shop and he said I blew the outputs...:sad:

Call Chris at ED and see what he can do...... maybe it wont be much to fix!

[Krazylowgsx]

are yuou sure you "blew the outputs" any amp i've ever had with a bass knob, it would gain it down if it was unplugged... not max it out?

[Nebster]

no the eD amp puts the gain on max if its unplugged. what was your gain on the amp at if you blew it up when it was unplugged?

must have been all the way

Sorry to hear that your amp went out on you. Before you decide to get it fixed when did your warranty go out. Make sure not to open it if your attempting to send it out to the manufacturer, that'll void your warranty period.
