TWB #28 | Replacing Power Devices in Rockford Fosgate Amps With Thermal Plates

[@LuxorVan]

Newer Rockford's have done away with those modules "Should be 2013 and newer", but they still have plates between the transistor pads and case! Also from a Manufacturing standpoint, these plates allowed faster assembly and cut costs by reducing assembly time, they can also use solder paste to hold the transistors in place and bake them onto the plates, instead of individually soldering each one by hand! But also if you look, there are jumpers on these old ones, which on normal amps would require a huge and long jumper for certain areas, Rockford however was limiting the distance for jumpers and keeping boards from being a "Hot Mess" on layouts!

Thanks for the video! Looking forward to your version of the reflow oven.

The good ol' days when we has the Punch 45, Punch 75, Punch 150 and the Power 300, Power 600, and the Power 1000. I wish I had any amp from this list. The Orion HCCA amps from that era are awesome too. I Just found your channel and I love it! I'm an avid DIY'r and hobbyist - I should upload my workbench sometime, you's like it.

[@beaseac]

would love to see the full repair!

[@sbeezynukka]

That thermal strip is called a Mesha board!

[@DanielCordero-p6t]

What is the purpose of the mesha board

Good video thanks for letting us watch

[@cartycartyamplifiersalesrepair]

Great job sir keep up the good work 👍

[@ReymartAbarracoso-f4f]

Sir what's replacement for transistor mosfet SS264 .. ? Rockford 😢

[@trickheaddd]

This is what I need done for my p8002 I have to take it from a p400 but I can’t get the damn thing off the old amp .

[@sinigangnahatdog4611]

Good day!my Rockford p3002 is overheating but when the temperature is normal the audio is normal when it's heating the audio is fading that's why i have to damp a wet cloth or put blower or fan.what causes the overheating?

[@goldeneagle7559]

I have a T1000-4adcp that the RR channel just started screeching, is there a cause for this?

[@ruikazane5123]

I'm simple. If I see a Fosgate on a video, I hit Like.

[@allendaigle6351]

Sure you don't punch it;-)

[@chrismigl27]

Good info thank you for the tutorial

[@adolforodriguez8740]

Hi there do you still fix amplifiers ?

[@yzcrkxrm1]

What kind of thermal paste did you apply when mounting the board back?

[@ThatElectronicsFool]

For this, it would've been the white silicone thermal grease. Used it pretty much any time I replaced parts in an amp.

[@yzcrkxrm1]

@@ThatElectronicsFool ok thanks. I ordered some dow 340. So should be the right stuff

[@bensonak47]

i have a t1500bdcp as well and when i try to turn it on the gate drive will be there for a second and then disappear. Protect light is on after too. I already replaced the PWM driver and the LM339 comparators on the drive board. what else could it be?

[@pedroguzman65pg]

I have exactly the same amp, the problem with it ,it blown the fuses any idea what the problem Is I will tank you, I will try to fix it my self but your video encourage me to give a try.

[@ThatElectronicsFool]

It was a while ago, but I think the issue with the amp was shorted output transistors. Sounds like you might have shorted power supply MOSFETS, possibly caused by shorted ouputs as well.

excellent vid..thanks!

[@bandipandi8157]

What Model is that?

[@achmadbachrun4594]

Type IC inventer rockford fosgate p3001

[@joblessalex]

couldn't you have just drilled mounting holes and mounted them properly to the case instead of to that extra board?

[@colinm9665]

Very bad way to replace this Transistors. its over heat for long time

[@arturogaytandavalos5298]

all this amp it is a bad desingns or disceño

[@arturogaytandavalos5298]

i have 28 years fix amps and dont like this amps rf serie t or p
