    So in this final section we tackle the remainder of the power supply and the output section. There was quite a bit wrong with this amp but surprisingly the driver survived which made repair that little bit easier.

    Excellent demonstration of intellectual balance, you did an amazing job explaining some of the science involved in amplifiers and showing it with good visual references. It is good also to see that some people still exist and even thrive on repairing electronics. It's an very expensive amplifier and is a quality unit so to repair it definitely makes sense, Its good to know that it could be repaired even better knowing there is someone who can repair it. At any cost my man I'm sure you are worth it, thanks for sharing. Love from across the pond my brother

    It's a pleasure to see a Brit show how things are done. Well structured, plain English, non-condescending, matter-of-fact delivery makes a mockery of other repair "tutorials". Inspiring. I've a Nelson Pass designed Soundstream A50 which is in need of attention. Despite my limited experience, you have given me confidence to attempt at least troubleshooting it. Thank you for a genuine production aimed squarely at providing relevant information in a digestible format. If we all were so sharing, the world would be a much better place! Much appreciation 😊

      Because of space. With T/S you have three options and you can only pick two:
      Small Box, Efficiency, Output. Power is cheap, space is at a premium in a vehicle.
      Personally, I've got two 21" subs that at 100 watts each in a 55 cube box each will produce around 140 db on a calibrated mic. Unless you have a school bus that is walled off, this isn't possible in a vehicle. Thus you go with a lower total Q driver which must have lower efficiency for a smaller box at the cost of increased power. I don't like it either man, until subwoofers utilize mechanical servo control instead of electromagnetic control this is what we have.

Ive brought back 2 cheapo Amps thus far and doing a few more (currently an older KX1200.1) before I try to dig into my DD Amp which you suggested this in another video where you repaired a DD-M4c (i think)... I noticed you used a chisel to secure the FET clips to the heat sink. My question is: Should you use a chisel or something similar to secure the FET clips inside of a Digitial Designs D series Amplifier(D5.1000)? Or what did they do from factory to get them so darn tight and difficult to remove?

    If everybody knew how to properly use a car audio amp and we stopped by shit brands like Banda, Taramps, TC sounds, and the tons of china crap like crunch, power aqoustic, etc this guy would damn near be out of work except the occasional accident or manufacturing mishaps. I would wager 85% of these amps are user caused by over loading them or low voltage or mounting them to weak boxes and I say that because if you have a box built like a tank your good mounting it to the box. I got a bulldog box I had built with 1” wood and coated with Rino liner and you can feel the back of the box at full tilt and it’s not vibrating anymore then the rest of the car expect the stuff in the cab obviously yea it’s shaking violently. Also I got a DC audio 2k and it’s been screwed to that box for years and I have never had any problems hell of it went now I wouldn’t feel bad I have used it so long. And I got a HD1200/1 that’s 8 years old and it’s been three hell and still is playing like new. I believe it will last 10+ years and if it does mess up I will send it back to JL to be refurbished. To much money to just toss it. $350 is a lot better then $899.

    Great info. I am pretty good at electronics, but I'm not as advanced at engineering/repairing as you are. Viewing your video taught me a lot and has some great advice for EVERYBODY who does electronic repairs. I especially liked the tips about testing burnt circuit boards to make sure they haven't become conductive, also carefully checking for tiny solder bridges. Even if you can't see bridges, a lot of electrons can flow through them, instantly creating a bigger a disaster. Fantastic work and safety habits.
    The ungrounded low current power supply trick was brilliant too. That was a new one for me and I'm sure it will come in handy one day soon. Thanks so much for everything.

    a customer. Who bought a new amp and was just gonna traah if so i gave him a nice stinger fuse holder. The amp had no output it light up just fine no protection light.took it apart no smell of smoke or heat damage everything was tight however i recently was looking on the back side of the board and came across 1 transistor where the solder from each leg had pulled together making all legs 1 common connection. Is that normal of a sign of over heating?

    • @barevids
      @barevids  4 года назад +1

      No, if it beeps but then the values climb then you are just charging caps on the board. Only if you have constant low value reading under 100ohms does it suggest there is a fault. Usually in a bank, if one fet it sorted it will read 0 between gate and source, and all the others will read double gate resistance, due to that one being shorted. Remove the dead one and you can power up and test.

    • @m0011v
      @m0011v 4 года назад

      yo@@barevids thanks..so how do you determine the gate resistance?... is that the reading you get when you probe between the source and the gate on a different bank that is working fine? also if you remove the bad fet, you need to replace it before you power up to test it? or would the amp function if you remove the bad one and don't replace it? so if there's a constant reading of under 100 ohms between the source to drain and the gate to drain pins?

  • @easyamp123
    @easyamp123 5 лет назад +1

    Great video as usual. @4:15 It's not regulated at the moment, if it was regulated the duty cycle would drop to zero as there is no load. Also, because the regulator part of the circuit is monitoring b+ or b- and you have removed your diodes for testing there is nothing to monitor. You are seeing the soft start circuit which is used to minimize stress on fets and diodes while charging the caps from not to whatever the rails are. The controller board is a neat one on this amp as it uses 21844's, half bridge drivers that are intended to be used in mains powered equipment and I believe they are being fed by a discrete osc. pretty cool.

    @tayro7265 5 лет назад +1

    I've seen a lot of transistors fail due to broken connections. This is due to not just vibration but also from the expansion and contraction of the heat sink they are bolted to. I've found that before cutting the pins down to fit, bending them with a jig stops this.
    All you need is a 10cm x 10cm board (piece of plywood), a 4 or 5mm dowel rod, a wooden ruler and some screws. Split the dowel lengthwise, sand the flat surface and glue to the center of the board.
    To use it, screw the transistors to one side of the dowel with a gap slightly wider than the narrow edge of the ruler between the edge of the dowel and the surface of the transistor. Don't tighten! leave the legs to hang over the dowel snug but not tight. With a downward motion from slightly over the dowel use the narrow edge of the ruler and push down on the legs until the transistor body sets flat. Hold the ruler in place, use another piece of wood or plastic to bend the legs around the dowel giving a semi-circle bend while maintaining pin configuration. Now trim and install.

    • @HellTriX
      @HellTriX 7 лет назад +1

      I concur with this. Since class D doesn't bias the mosfets. Furthermore each fet is balanced via the gate resistor which is why each gate has a resistor rather than one resistor feeding a bank of fets. This is to balance the on signal between fets.

    • @barevids
      @barevids  7 лет назад +10

      see i still don't agree with this. The mosfets Drain pins are still paralleled to an inductor. if the mosfets in a parallel bank have significantly different Vg, which is the voltage required at the gate to switch on the fet, then some with turn on before others and since the drain pins are paralleled, that high voltage across the switched on fets will also be present at the drain pin which is yet to be switched on. this may be near or beyond the backwards voltage rating from drain to source. I have experienced first hand using fets of different batches in parallel and they do indeed heat up on idle, meaning something is happening between them to cause this. replace with all identical bank and they stay stone cold.

      MOSFET gain vs drive voltage varies minimally.

    Update: ok jumped the gun on the question and you be already answered it.

    • @rgstever
      @rgstever 5 лет назад

      I'd get as low as possible with rdson, 85mohm is pretty damn high. Keep in mind as rdson falls, gate charge will increase, then you have to deal with the thermal waste from charging the gate; sometimes this can be greater than the switching losses.

    If your LCR tester is anything like my DMM, the RdsON measurement doesn't mean squat. Even if the RdsON was in the milliohms, the resistance of the probe and clips would be so large in comparison to make the result largely meaningless.

  • @overkillaudioinc
    @overkillaudioinc 5 лет назад

    you may also want to look at Safe Operating Area or SOA of the mosfets you are choosing for replacement. Many high current mosfets only handle high currents at low voltages. and a given device while rated higher current, may handle LESS current at the voltage you intend to run them at. you should look at the SOA graph and compare it to the mosfet you are replacing and make sure that you can still handle the power requires AT the voltage they will run at. could save you on a costly repair!

    Excellent video, showing me a schematic would have greatly helped. So mOSFETs on the output mean this is a digital amp? And the four coils or use to remove the high frequencies going to the speakers? I just needed a little clarification on that part

    • @barevids

      Hmm I wouldn't say digital as such... Although I guess the sine wave is built in pulses... But digital usually means the amp is pic controlled with some kind of firmware. And there is actual data being transferred.
      The first two transformers are to convert 12v into +/-rail voltage. The second two are Inductors to filter the rail-rail switching that the sine wave rides along.

    You are not hassled with fake mosfets/transistors ?!, most failures on attempts to repair amplifiers is consecuence about using fake component and when not caring enough about checking all the stages backwards, balacing, etc.

    Should I be worried if a single output capacitor in a group appears to be leaking, but isn't expanded at all, and the sound output is fine without any decline in audio volume peak? The amp didn't get hot from overworking or anything, might just be from age and the sun heating the heat sink shell, but everything else inside appears to be solid and in working order.

    Geezus! Well informed video. But I must say, that for a newbie that knows almost absolutely nothing about repairing amps. This was like trying to read hieroglyphics.. Lool All those numbers that you keyed in just killed my brain, as I always hated math, which was my weakest subject. Now my question is.. Without all of that equipment you have.. Could you have done this job with just a bottom of the line multimeter that doesn't beep and soldering iron??

    Perhaps you mentioned this in another video, when you stress test your amps, what are you meaning? Playing music at a certain level? Letting it run at a certain output? If you could elaborate on the stress test protocol, it would be helpful, I like to establish a protocol for final testing.

      30mins of sweeps at 75% output at 2ohms, followed by 5 min of sweeps at clip point at static 1ohm. I also run a high impedance speaker hooked up so I can hear any irregularities in the output.

    just watching you work and listening to how you approach problems and solutions was mesmerizing. its just too bad your not in the states because I would definitely have no problem with someone like you doing my repairs. I have some older equipment that needs a competent and thorough person as you are. my head unit is an Alpine 7949 preamp deck from 1998 and was their flagship unit. also I own an Xtant 3300i 3 channel amp also from the same year. I have not found any other system to match the quality sound they produced. Trying to find a shop or individual to do my repairs has been exhausting. You wouldn't by some chance know of someone here in the US you could refer me to?

  • @v1los

    Great videos, really enjoyed them both. One very slight criticism though, if it were me doing that repair, i would have taken out the heatsink insulators, cleaned off the old heatsink compound and applied new one. This would give better thermal conductivity. Maybe you did it and never mentioned it? Apart from that small observation, it was a great job!

  • @Mrooooooooooooo

    I have a SPL Dynamics S-4006 amplifier that i got as a broken unit. The amp was notorious for killing speakers in the fifth and sixth channels. I have bench tested the amp with 12volts and channels 1-4 work normally but on channels 5 and 6 there is a lot of humming and other strange noices.. So dc leak somewhere? Any idea what components have broken?
    I have only a soldering iron and i am capable of using it, but i dont have a scope..

    Great stuff! Is there any schematics of theese kinds of driver boards based on the IRS21844 out there?
    Im curretly working on the exact same model as in the video but i figure many other amps are based on the same kind of driver circuit.
    So any 21844 driver schematic for reference would be highly appreciated! :)
    Also, is there maybe any possibility of describing the troubleshooting/probing of the driver board in a little more detail?
    Couldnt really see what you where doing there beacuse of the camera angle.
    Anyway, shairing this kind of knowledge is awesome, thanks a lot

    Excellent vid, this - with proper explanations of why thing work & sometimes don't. I've not worked on one of these, but I'm guessing Class D with FM audio control? wasn't really covered in the talk.
    Just one thing tho': & somebody else mentioned it here. The 'original' inductor has a zip tie holding it down, would have been better to use one on the 'repair' one (as well as gluing it down!). Mind you, the 'original might have been a repair. Either way, zip ties on both would be good practice. Also, if the headers used on the driver board aren't super tight, that might end up falling out too, due to vibration.

    Best Damn Instructional RUclipsr of '17! Subbed in two vids! Gave me the correct way to diagnose this old MTX amp I popped years ago. I know it's an AB, but diagnostically, it will be the same steps. I have an AEES in EE and was working on my BEET, but the school was online and I had life changes where I just had no energy or time to continue.. Anyways, your spot on with your diagnostics and procedures far as I can see, your cautious and deliberate and vocal about your actions. Cheers from the US :D

    I'm having a dumb issue with my amp. It play's and powers on but no bass or subwoofer out put. The 4 channel part puts out all sound but the 5th channel is dead. What should I look for? It is the spl g5 4500d amp. If it helps it says 1ohm stable for sub and I have been running my factory Mercedes Benz sub woofer that says 1 ohm but I measured out at .88 ohm. Any help please a new amp is 1,000$ us.

    What would cause the Capacitors in your amp to bust ? I have budget mono amp(planet audio ) , and the capacitors literally burst . It power's up , but when i play the music , my sub would flap out of sync with the music

    The inductance of that toroidal is number_turns^2! Without knowing the effect on the audio signal I would have found a way to terminate that winding intact. Enjoyed the video. Maybe you got lucky and the difference is cancelled out by feedback.

    I'm really excited to see a horn in a car, got a design for a folded horn in mine that should tune down to 32Hz, my idea is to use the back seat as the mouth of the horn, and have it curve up from the boot lid and over the top gradually expanding. The mouth ends up being 1.3x1m, and the length at 6m. Problem is whether or not I have people in the back seat will affect the tuning. Also, I've heard horns have some phasing issue where the wave doesn't properly form until one wavelength from the mouth, meaning the intensity won't be as high as a ported box even though it's technically more efficient.

    Very good knowledge of electronics and simple and clear explanations. The perfect troubleshooting video in this area. We realize how badly these amps are designed at the base with the minimum protection. Every penny counts in this poor quality design. I speak as an engineer in the industrial field where such a product would not pass the first stage of testing. Your job clearly has a future;)
