Avitechtone

Hello ngen33r, just wanted to thank you for putting all of this information on this site. I had picked up a non working Sub 10 a few years ago for $25 thinking I could possibly get it going again. I had no idea what a Bash amp was and there was little info online. My Bash boards all looked like new with no heat marks or obvious component failures. A while back I removed the conductive glue, replaced the Diac, the two switching mosfets and a 100v 470 uf cap that looked suspiciously damaged by the glue and still no joy. I happened to search online recently for any updates to troubleshoot the amp and luckily found this site and your posts. With your guidance I checked Q5 and the emitter to base was open. Ordered some 2N4401's as they are cheaper by the dozen. A bit delicate to replace the surface mount but was successful and for the first time I have an awesome sounding subwoofer. My wife is happier than I am because it is now out of the living room as an end table. Thanks !
