I am so sorry:eek: ! I hate those amps... Even Ashley must be failing or they are down to a three day work week er something as they rarely even answer their phone... but one thing is for sure... it opens up the possibility of making tons of money replacing all of them some where in the not too distant future.

The older ones probably need capacitors by now. Can only assume you have installation "issues."

They have all been replaced with QSC. The last component anyone shold have trouble with... even after 12 or 15 years is the power amps. Interestingly those Ashley's never lost any capacitors... but they did blow output transistors now and then.  |  IP: Logged
