Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions One channel of amp blew up- fixable?

A lot of mfg's will use Loc-tite on the bolts. They sometimes use slightly different colored screws or bolts to see if a unit has been tampered with. Every colored screw has to be put back in the same place.

I never thought that Earth Wind and Fire would have that kind of effect. I actually like them.

Well thats something you will never forget.That was about nine months ago and the new amp has done a great job since.EWF is darn good I think,its at least a notch or two above ABBA

I HAD TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL FUSES ON MY ACURUS,THE HEX SCREWS WILL COME LOOSE,PUT SOME OOMPH INTO IT--LEFTY LOOSY-RIGHTY TIGHTY

Rcvecc- I think I'm going to need to get a differnt screwdriver to accomplish this. It's impossible to do with the small handle on the one I've got. There's just not enough torque. This thing's similar to a hobby screwdriver you'd use to fix your glasses, if that gives you a good indication.

But I'm curious to know why you had to replace the fuses on your Acurus. Can you explain it a bit further?

Thanks.

I THINK I BLEW THE FUSE WHEN MOVING SOME WIRES WHILE THE AMP WAS ON AND SHORTING OUT THE SPEAKER TERMINALS-GO TO THE HOME DEPOT AND GRAB A TORX SET-IF IT IS YOUR FUSE,ITS AN EASY FIX..GOOD LUCK

rcvecc: got yer caps lock key stuck? third post i read like that...



All manufacturs say theres no user servicable parts inside. If there were then how the heck are the techs supposed to make a living!

Kevin,
Head down to Home Depot or something like that and get a decent hex set. I remember when one side blew on one of my Sratos amps. A couple of them were a real bugger to get off but I kept reefing and off they came.

Thanks guys. I'm heading down to the Home Depot right now. The one here in Los Angeles is open 24 hours. I've always wanted to go there around 3am to get a chain saw, a drop cloth and something that takes out bloodstains, just to see if they'd sell it to me without asking any questions.

LOL! To funny!
