From: Per on 21 Jan 2007 07:57 Hi. I just fried my tapco amp, due to an defect xover. Whenever i connect a speaker to the amp, the OL lights up, even without anything connected to the inputs. Any ideas to solve that? what do you think has happened inside the amp, fuses or something else blown? Any ideas will be apriciated... Per

From: Per on 21 Jan 2007 08:49 I connected the xover and turned on the amp OL lighted up, and I shut the amp. and it was gone.. I tried with another amp, same thing, except that the amp survived. I think that the xover (EVxp200a) is sending out a very bad signal on the "high" out. the sub out, works fine Per "Tim Scott" <timscott18(a)nospamplease.spamarrest.com> skrev i en meddelelse news:51h7hgF1ka0o6U1(a)mid.individual.net... > > "Per" <perjust(a)dlgtele.dk> wrote in message > news:45b36331$0$3517$edfadb0f(a)dread11.news.tele.dk... >> Hi. >> I just fried my tapco amp, due to an defect xover.
