Anyone know of any places that repair amps in SA?

[bezz]

Hi guys,
after our frist rainy day in god knows how long, one of my mates discovered his boot rubbers were stuffed and hence his amp was damaged by water. Its a cadence 4ch, and he tells me the 2 channels going to the sub arent working but the 2 going to the speakers are. I just told him to disconnect it completely for now.

So does anyone know of anywhere in Adelaide that will take a look at the amp and repair it if need be? (Hopefully being not too pricey :yeah: )

Cheers

car audio services main north road
adept electronic main north road also
both charge 55-85 bux quote fee
sometimes its not worth fixing sometimes it is
its only a cadence might not be worth repairing if parts cost lots

I'm with daron just go get a new amp, the price to repair it will out way a new one. Might I suggest getting a response amp. Plus if this one isn't complete stuffed he can keep it or ebay bay it for money towards the new one.

Just my thoughts.

Either that or have a go at fixing it yourself.. if it is water damage it is most likely going to be blown componants (most likely a transistor) or if real serious a blown track on the PCB (printed circuit board) . the problem should be fairly obvious when you open it up, ie melted legs, black burn like marks. if you have a lil bit of practice with a soldering iron it shouldnt be to hard to fix. most componant should be available from jaycar (if this store is in your area) or somewhere of the sort.

i might open it up and have a look, and if its easy to fix i might do it. I'm just a little weary to do it because the amp isn't mine.

Try this place -
DJM Electronics
Shop 1 543 Churchill Rd Kilburn SA 5084
ph: (08) 8349 6308

It's just south of the Grand Junction Rd and Churchill Rd intersection.

His prices are very reasonable if you are not in a hurry for it. It will be easier to repair if you can tell him why it failed too. I have had an amp and head unit fixed by him about 2 years ago and he did an excellent job.

Ah yes thats the guy i was looking for. My dad used to have a caryard around there and I'm pretty sure that guy used to fix all his radios for him. I was trying to find out who it was but dad couldnt remember the name.

Cheers for that mate ill get in contact with him
