OT - Modding Amps?
|
Silver Member Username: Livin_loudNy Post Number: 357 Registered: Jan-06 | Well I tried this one in the Amp forum, and got nothing, so to here it will move... Now to the question, so how could I modify my amp to run at 1ohm and push twice the wattage, when it runs at a 2ohm factory minimum? There has to be a shop you can take it to, correct? |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1738 Registered: Jan-06 | It is cheaper to replace the amp, I have my shop set up for repairs and have been learning for the past two years as a hobby. You cannot just bipass the protection ciruit, it will eventually fail. The biggest reason being is the pathways are designed for a certain amount of power transfer overwhelm them and they begin to burn. Theoretically anything is possible but you may need to change the primary power supply winding the large torroidial transformer you see when you remove the cover, the powersupply fets, the output fets the pathways will need to be reinforced, a lot of work, lol.

Post Number: 9517 Registered: Jul-05 | polo is right it'll work but the amp's lifespan will be significantly shortened - go read it on www.bcae1.com i remember seeing wire gauge adapters u can buy like if u have 0g wire that u want 2 plug into ur amp 4g terminals it will make it fit ......... |
