Griggsfamily55 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I reciently hooked up my RSA-500 to a new sub. Unfortunately the sub wants a little more power than this amp can push. There is a component on the power supply that i cannot identify due to a hole through it. Can anyone with this amp please help me identify this component. It is one of the square yellow ones on the power supply board, specifically the one closest to the front of the amp. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you That looks like C2 on the pcb, so it's probably a capacitor. Hopefully you can remove it and find some legible markings to identify it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the other capacitors of that type all of the markings are on the large flat sides, and there are none that are the same size ether.

billybob Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thanks! Absolutely agree. You may know but the amp was designed for and used only a couple or 3 Klipsch subwoofer speakers, architecture ones. Bumping this up to see if bad component can be identified. Guess if I still had mine, could maybe help. Welcome! ☕ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griggsfamily55 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Still looking for help if anyone has a RSA-500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maulicksr Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Still looking for details on C2 (component with hole in it?) ...on my unit, C2 is marked "224K 630F" (image below) I think it is Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor (Panasonic). Yours looks to be the same, but made by Meritek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured ether no one that had one was willing to open it up or there wasn’t anyone with one. I really appreciate what you are doing here. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
