Thank you soooo much for doing this video. That helped me so much on a hd 8000 repair. The 8000's board was almost identical. I replaced all the blown fets and nadda. I just replaced the drivers and bingo. Thank you for the videos. Very helpful.

[@ngaudio9143]

I was wondering if you could help me identify a problem with my amp. I have an hd 10k like in the video (2ohm) and it decided to just go into protect. No sparks or smoke. Wasnt even overheated. And yes, I removed speaker wires and rca's too. Still in protect. I popped the back off to see if I could find something burnt or broke, and theres nothing. Im not a circuit board repair man but I cant afford to send it to be repaired or to replace it.

replace output mosfets and drivers and you have a 70% chance of it working again :)

But, on the power supply side of the board, the drain and source spots on the board for the first 2 sets of IRF1404 fets (3 fets per set, 3 sets per left and right) on both left and right, are making contact.

Is this normal for these fets? is it because im using a limited power supply and its such a large amp? did the 10k do that. it has the same output section as it. what do you think?

Sounds like more issues in output drive circuit. Determine why it is in protect, as you power it up look for rail voltages in the wrong places on output mosfet pads and go from there.

[@JackCarver10]

They pretty much suck ass, you get what you pay for.

[@tammyforbes2101]

Dude save yourself a waste of money and just save a little longer and get a Korean 5k you can think me later. The reason these Brazilians do so much power is there designed to run everything to the max that’s why you can’t abuse them without blowing them. The Koreans are not the are built extra tough and run not nearly as hard as the Brazilians. Think of them like cars the Brazilian is a cheap turbo 4 cylinder that’s running right near the red line all the time so push it any more or abuse it in any way it will blow and the Korean is like a big block that makes the same power but does it at 1/4 the redline so obviously it can last way longer as it’s not even being pushed hard. That’s why you can wire them lower and they will do more power and survive where a taramps would go poof. And it’s not that all Korean amps are good and all Brazilian amps are bad it’s more how and who builds them. Take for instance sound digital they have some realizable amps that can do massive numbers but you will pay more for them. And take the CT sound team 7k those things where going out left and right a year or so ago when they came out. Just do your research and don’t try and get 5k Watts for a couple hundred bucks and you will do fine. Hell technology has came so far even some of these cheap amps are decent now even if they don’t make huge power they still hold up ok.

[@user-vq4ed6lh5t]

Thank you

[@h1nicolas]

The power transformer is not a very good design. The wire strands are too thick to support proper current flow due to high frequency skin effect. Also the cross sectional area of the primary winding is way too little, you need much more paralleled wire strands. I agree that Taramps does not put enough output and power supply MOSFETs, or use even better MOSFETs with lower Rds, probably a cost issue.

Saludo tienes el diagrama de ese amplificador

[@Georgatzis]

I have forgotten your email address and i have a tarams with a problem! Where can i reach you ?

[@ikehubbs]

The TC35 had a double connection of solder creating a short. You can barely see it at 3:04. It create a nano resistance in diode 448A towards the IC which causes a surge in cap R598. It wont blow it out, but reverses the vacuum connectivity, if you will, and the solder reacts as a negative magnet of sorts making the thermistors and IC's give a drive wave of negative 5 plus 4 (obviously not adding up to 1). Next time, short the PC68 Cap and leg 2 and 6 of the 1I96 Stationary board and it will bypass the reaction board. You will get less Bass but the treble will be amazing. Also, This board was made in a factory in Nyflanigan during a drought where fish were abundant, but deceased. So, Fish oil caps from this region are highly suspect to fail. You will smell an odor if the caps pop. It may smell like your urine. Which means you need to drink more water.

[@baladar1353]

Gain KNOBs can be replaced, usually they are just variable resistors. Take some measures on it while spinning the knob carefully, and look for torn connections. If there are any dead points, you should change it. Be sure that the amp is not powered while you're doing any work on it.

[@cekpi7]

If you hape problem with gain its either potentiometer or preamplifier, if you dont know how to replace either of those i would suggest to get someone to look it up, fixing it without basic knowledge can lead to more damage but if you are willing to learn than give it a shot.

I'd add a heavy-gauge pigtail to the annoying output transformer leads to make the gate driver IC easier to service in the future. With an overrated Brazilian amp, it'll need to be serviced again unless the owner backs off on the low impedance.
