board diagrams?

Hey all, I have acquired a RF Punch 500a2 amp, and I fried it (no inline fuse) trying to see if it worked. Well, I fried two transistors, and can't find a board diagram anywhere to help me. The diagram I'm needing is for a G500a2. I also need to find a supplier for the transistors I fried. On the board they are labeled as 'Q19' and 'Q20'. I'd like to get the amp running, because from what I've heard, it's a pretty decent amp for what it is. Thanks in advance! JDJ Jack Ripper, Car audio noob (sort of)

Simply hooking up the amp with no fuse will not damage the amp.Kevin Pierson

Rockford will supply schematics for any out of production piece.  I will try to get an e-mail address for you to send a request.

It looks like it caught fire on the two transistors, I have pictures, but don't know if they allow img code on here.DJ Jack Ripper, Car audio noob (sort of)

I case its unclear, Kevin means that NOT having the fuse does not change the circuit/power and hence won;t cause the amp to blow - ie, there is another fault that cause it to blow. The fuse might have prevented it blowing - but that is another issue.

I think I did better than an e-mail address.  I did not look for your amp, but it should be here.

You guys rock. Thanks so much for the help!! Anyone got an idea or two about what have popped the two transistors? I'm accepting all ideas, because this amp could be more beneficial to me than the POS xplod amp I am currently running on my two Pyle 12's. (Yes I know, Pyle = Cheap) I'm looking for somewhat moderate SPL and this is all I can afford at the moment. Again, thank you so much for the link. I have certification in automotive electrical diag and repair, so this schematic is going to help me a LOT. Instead of starting a new topic, I would also like to ask a question about a JVC EXAD Arsenal KD-AR5500. A local brought it to me, said he couldn't get it to illuminate. I am guessing it is something in the harness, but when he brought it to me, the harness itself wasn't completely clipped into the back of the unit. Going to check it later, and if I get it to work, then good. I like the way it looks and hopefully it'll fit one of my cars well.DJ Jack Ripper, Car audio noob (sort of)

If the transistor is visibly defective, chances are it is a power supply transistor.  The most common cause of this failure is shorted output transistors.  The transistors on the other end of the amp.
