Problems with Carver DSP amp

Post by peteslag »

A friend of mine has bought a Z4 3.0 and has a few problems to sort. He has fixed most of the niggles by searching the forum but can't find much info on the 10 channel Carver amp. It looks like some one has transported fence paint in the boot and it has spilt over the amp. It all still works on the right channel but on the left channel, only the mid speaker in the door works. He has been quoted £360 for a second hand amp but wants a cheaper alternative.

Can an after market multi channel amp be wired in?

I am an electrician by trade, it looks like this can be done but the 2 things that cause me concern are:

pin 18 is the K-bus connector. What does this do?
pins 9 & 17 are right + and - signal in , pin 30 is left - signal in, where is left + in?

Does any one have experience with this amp? Any help would be appreciated.
