I have a 5 year old kicker 4 channel amp that i think has the left front channel blown. There is a static sound coming from the left speaker even though i disconnect audio in (rca jacks) to the amp from my deck.

Does this point to the amp being blown? i would hope it is instead of trying to troubleshoot wiring problem going to speaker.
thanks

 

At a minimum you will have to reverse the speaker connections for the front pair of channels to figure it out.....it's only four screws.......

No point in buying a new amp until you check it out, unless you really want to buy one anyway......which I understand perfectly.....

switched front left channel speaker wires to right channel and fault followed so my left front channel on amp is blown. does anybody know of a good replacement for the ZX350.4 kicker amp? I am very happy with the sound on this unit. thanks for the help bigredguy

 

You're welcome.....

Depending where you are located there may be someone handy who can fix that Kicker for you....in Toronto there is a board vendor called S&S Electronics that has done a lot of repairs for members here.

Failing that, I put one of these in my buddy's Freestyle the other day. It is running 2 sets of these components and doing a great job.......loud, very clean and the amp is so tiny it practically disappears under the front seat.

Power rating is 120W X 4 @ 4ohms....more than enough to keep up with some serious subs.....

There are many other choices from other manufacturers, having heard this one in a few different installs I have to suggest it for you as a replacement for the Kicker.
