Rockford fosgate bd1000a1

Hey Tech48, could you please tell me where your shop in the Metro Detroit Area is. i have a Rockford bd1000.1 and NOTHING happens when i hook it all up. email me at [email protected] if you could, please thanks so much

There is nothing to reset on this amp, it has no microprocessor.

Resets for electronic equipments are for clearing any software glitches that the microprocessor uses to do complex functions. I have only seen microprocessors in a couple of Kenwood amplifiers, and I have fixed many Fosgate amplifiers including this model. If you are not gettng any sound from it, you may have a blown channel. It is the most common failure I have seen in these. If that is the problem with yours, you need to take it to a service center that works on Rockford Fosgate amps, they have output transistors that are mounted on what is called a "mesha rail" and you can not change out just the 1 or 2 that are shorted, you must replace the entire rail because the transistors can not be removed from the rail and there are no generic parts for them as well.

I hope this helps you with your problem, deciding what you can do with it. It is a very good amplifier and in most cases it is worth the repair cost. You can not get a different amplifier of the same quality for less than the repair cost which usually runs about $125 at my shop.

Let me know if I can be any more help to you.

Dave
