Controlling what goes through the system so you´re not blowing speakers every week doesn´t have anything to do with loving or hating the material. I´m a professional. People use me because they know that they´ll get a good service, never mind what´s playing. I do everything from folk festivals to raves, no problem. I too can´t remember when I last blew a driver. Maybe 10 years ago. But I see plenty of people who come by to get stuff repaired and 90% of the time it´s using too few cabs for the job, or expecting churning bass from a 12" + 1", ie being unrealistic - or believing the inflated specs of the equipment they have. |

So you're saying this little 15" + 1" powered speaker with a 2" voice coil on the 15 made from cheese wont actually give me 800W of thumping bass? damn... gonna have to rethink my master plan.... |

Skytec is already owned by leading pro audio company I'm afraid...

the pictures above appear to have expired - does anyone have the picture of the PCB/component that needs replacing for the temperature issue? and the part number it needs replacing with?
I bought an xe-4000 nice and cheap with this fault, looking to get it going again cheers |

Have you contacted PKN?
The few issues i have had, including a temp issue they where very good about fixing . Some of my XE6000 are now coming on 10 years and still going strong! Great amps.

It's costly to send the amp off to PKN, I believe this mod is only 1 part (replacing SMD) so I'd like to try and get that done myself first

Its a very small capacitor that you can scrap out and solder a normal cap.
Unfortunately i am too far away right now to be able to dig the picture of the location and cap value.

Turns out it's the very same amp Shaun spoke about previously in this thread! Anyone else have the pic?

It is under the amplifier board, you shall remove and add a small 100nf- 1uF (25V or more) ceramic cap which is not more thick than 2mm. PS: Do not forget to wait at least 15 minutes after mains cable removed prior disassembling, this amp has 400VDC inside, capacitors charged! It could be very dangerous.
