SOURCE: AudioBahn A2300HCT no sound

Generally, if the amplifier smokes, the power supply FETs have failed.

Many times, the output transistors fail and that causes the power supply FETs to fail.

Audiobahn won't release schematics. The amplifiers are relatively simple and a schematic isn't generally required.

If you know how to check the transistors, check them to determine the severity of the damage. If you don't know how to check them, read through the following page following all links provided.

SOURCE: AMP turns ON then turns off

The power antenna wire only supplies 12vdc when the radio is on. When CD or other sources are selected, the power antenna wire goes to 0vdc. The remote turn-on wire provides 12vdc whenever the head-unit is on. If your amps are powered on only when the radio is turned on, I would bet that you have the power antenna wire connected and not the remote turnon wire.

Hi im in Argentina and i accidentally pluged in my amp without an adapter now it doesnt work what needs to be fixd?
The power supply is blown. Argentina is 220V I believe. I have never seen a power supply schematic for this however being that it is low power it is a linear supply not switching. Either the rectifier diodes are blown out or possibly the output capacitors are blow due to approx double voltage. If you try this yourself be careful otherwise get a new amp. Good Luck

D/A Raider Ham Tube Linear Amplifier, tube filaments overheat
This is not a transformer problem, it would blow fuses if transformer shorts out. It is hard to say, what could cause the problem without looking at the unit. But, you mentioned new power cord with grounding. That looks suspicious to me. Tyr to diconect grouding wire, and see if that helps.

Hello. I have an Ultra Linear Amp - UL724 model. I am wiring it up to play in 2 channel mode - in stereo. I can only get one channel to work - the left... I swap the rca cords, still only the left side...
YOUR METHOD OF TROUBLESHOOTING USING THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION IS RIGHT ON AND PERFECT. IT INDICATES A BAD AMPLIFIER CHANNEL. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS ODD, AS YOU HAVE TWO OF THESE NOW. IT IS RARE, BUT I HAVE SEEN INPUT CONFIGURATION SWITCHES WIRED BACKWARDS, SO THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS TO HOOK UP THE BAD CHANNEL TO ONE SPEAKER ONLY, BY ITSELF. THEN TAKE ONE RCA ONLY AND PLUG IT INTO ONE RCA INPUT AT A TIME. THEN MOVE THE INPUT SWITCHES AND REPEAT THIS PROCEDURE UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED ALL SWITCH COMBINATIONS AND ALL INPUT JACKS. WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO AT THIS POINT IS TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS ANY RCA JACK WITH ANY SWITCH POSITION, THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET OUTPUT FROM THAT CHANNEL. IF AFTER THIS TEST, YOU STILL HAVE NO OUTPUT, THEN NO MATTER HOW ODD, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT YOU DO IN FACT HAVE A SECOND DEFECTIVE AMPLIFIER. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER ASSISTANCE.....V

I have a linear amp 1600 I ahve power to it but it wont work and what is the remote wire supose to be connected to?
The remote wire is supposed to be connected to the remote output on the back of the head unit that is feeding the amp.
Without the remote wire hook up the amp will not turn on.
Reason for this is, the Head Unit tells the AMP to turn on, without the remote connected the AMP is going to do nothing, find the remote switch wire on the back of your Head Unit and run the wire to the remote input on the AMP.

Solid State amplifier problems
I would look for crossed wires or shorts on the board itself as a result of overheating. They will look like toasted circles around the pins of the board. You may not have been the first to open the amp and make a repair.

Ultra linear ul-600hc
If the amp is in protect mode, it probably has shorted output transistors. To eliminate other possible problems, do the following. I'll assume that you've checked the amplifier's on-board fuses.

With your multimeter set to DC volts, the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp (not on the point where the ground wire connected to the vehicle) and the head unit on (so the amp will have remote voltage applied), touch the red lead alternately to the B+ and remote terminals of the amp. If the voltage is below ~11 volts, you need to check the wiring feeding whichever line is too low.

If the voltage remains near or above 12v, disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp and disconnect signal cables from the amp. If it powers up, the wiring needs to be checked. If it still shuts down, the amp almost certainly has shorted output transistors and will need to be repaired.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
