Orion amp will not work!


posted by phantom007 on Nov 22, 2007


The amp just stopped working one day.So i took the panel off and hooked it back up again. Then i noticed the the red light would blink on and off, and the fan inside would also work but not really. It would slowly pick up speed as the power light would blink until i herd a click sound and the hole process would start over again. The click noise would happen every 30 seconds. I want to try to fix the problem so if any one that knows why its doing what is doing please tell me what i need to fix the problem.

What model Orion?

When you mentioned the fan, I thought it might have been an older model like the 2100 HCCA or the 2250SX.

While I'm not familiar with your amp, it sounds like it may be going into protect. You should check the B+ and remote voltage to make sure it's not dropping below 11 volts. If it's not dropping, try disconnecting all speaker wires from it. If it's still doing the same thing, it's likely that the output transistors have failed.
