Shaun1982 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Bought the relay listed in another thread that fixes the sub not working problem. So I've got it stripped out & the amp exposed etc. does it just pop off or solder off or what? Also the new relay seems a different size too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Did that link Buster posted not have details? I would imagine it just solders on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I managed to find it on YouTube. He just stuck a substantial amount of card wrapped in electrical tape lol. Read some of the comments & someone said they can't understand why people do that & don't just re-solder it. The solder appears fine but might just re do it & pack it out too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 It's the biggest amp I've ever laid eyes on SMD, possibly even bigger than the one I had in my old zed in the spare wheel recess if you remember that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
