My KICKER amp KX200.2 has a resistor blown out it is R17 i will like to know the specific resistance so i can replace it

Need to know the resistance of the speakers you are wiring, are they 4 ohm or 8 ohm speakers? Is this for car or home audio? What resistance does the amp show it is capable of handling?

Better off getting it repaired through kicker.....Most of the time you cant find parts for their amps online or anything. Was the amp 2 ohm stable????? Is it still under warranty????

new resistors it needs

Hi! ok R64 is a 220 ω resistor & Q22 is a BD140 transistor, these 2 components are the final outputs for the -15V rail which feeds the pre-amp board. There are two scenarios here, firstly Q22 may have died of natural causes which has killed R64 or something has gone short on the pre-amp board which has taken both components out as a result. i would suggest replacing the two cooked components & if the amp then works ok it will be an easy repair, however if they go again then an investigation using an ohm meter will be needed on the pre-amp board to check for shorts on all any of the i.c's. let me know how you get on, if I can be of further assistance just ask!. Regards, acbva.

If the resistors were blown, the power amp which is either transistors or an amplifier package has been shorted out. The resistors are very low resistance, and used really as slow blowing fuse. The value is probably a fraction of an ohm (eg. point two ohms)

no matter the maker the markings r all the same value so find another resistor with the same markings and that should work just fine

hi, if you are good with a soldering iron, you can purchase the capacitors and resistors that you will need on line. after you purchase them, open the amp and remove the blown components by using a point cutter and solder the new components in the same place. if you don't feel comfortable with disassembling and replacing the blown resistors and capacitors, i would take it in for a professional repair.

please rate and god bless..

sounds very much like resistance was an issue and no they dont have an internal fuse sorry

How do you know it is specifically that resistor? I suppose you have schematics or something that is telling you R531 may be an issue. If a resistor is blown it will likely be black or discolored somehow.

It's likely that the output transistors have failed. If you measure the resistance between the second and third legs of the large transistors adjacent to the large (green?) resistors, you'll find several that read ~0 ohms. Its likely that only one of several that read 0 ohms is defective but all that read 0 ohms in the board are operating in parallel and must be replaced together so they match (electrically).

Disconnect the amp from the power source BEFORE trying to measure the resistance across the resistors.
