Hello everyone,
I decided to rewire the amp I built a year or two ago. It consists of 3 chip amps. One for left, right, and subwoofer. Before doing this, turning the subwoofer volume knob half way made the sub max so that it would sound like a motorcycle. Now I can't even get it that loud if I tried. Full volume now would be like 1/4volume before.
So I took some measurements. Somehow they don't seem right to me. But I'm not too sure what they should be either.
Between the Left + and the Right +, I measured 20kOhm.
Between the Left + and the Left -, I measured 38kOhm.
Between the Right + and the Right -, I measured 41kOhm.
First off, shouldn't Left + and Right + be open circuit?
But the amp works and the left and right channels sound very good (as does the sub; it's just quiet).
Any ideas?
