QuestionHow can you tell if your amp is blown?
AnswerEasy.
ONE: Disconnect all loudspeakers from the connections on the back of the amp except one.
TWO: Using music program from cd player or radio, check for sound coming from the speaker.
THREE: Then, move the speaker from one amp output to the other thereby checking each one of the channels....
The speaker you are using for test must be a good one with good wire, also.
A common failure in audio amplifiers is blown output transistors. They are quite expensive to replace. This failure is most often caused by overpowering the amp OR a shorted speaker cable/wire.
Let me know if you have another question.
