hey guys,

Well i think i blew my amp, actually im almost certain. But anyway.. i took it all apart to see if something was loose and found a spot in the amp that is all burnt.

-What caused this?
-is it fixable?
-how much $$
-should i be looking to spend to fix it?

Its a 400w Clarion amp. Its old, Pro Audio series to be exact. Does anyone have a clue about my questions? any experience? Id like to keep the amp just becuase i got it for free and it really kicked.

HELP!!

160 bucks to repair my PPI 275 when I did something stupid to it LOL... but a friend of mine got his California Profile amp fixed for 70 bucks. All depends on what it needs.

 

well thanks for the reply, but i have no clue what needs to be done in order for her to work again.

But the prices you stated dont seem to bad, i dont mind fixing the little pr!ck because i got it for free, so even if it cost $200 i wouldnt care.

i would just buy a new one if you arent worried about money...

 

haha Klayburn, ahh didnt think of that. Well actually i still wanted the amp for when i get my new truck, so i can power my highs with it.

Does anyone know of a good 4 channel amp for no more than $300 that will power highs with nice, clean results?

I saw a place selling Rockford 600.4's for 275 plus shipping. 75x4 I think. It was a dutch auction on ebay. Could be scary but I've had good luck so far.

 

1st Choice for inexpensive: Alpine VR series 4 channel (Don't remember price, but not expensive)
MTX T6304 $285
Rockford 200.4 $245
Rockford 400.4 $299

Pop a little extra and get:

Kicker ZR460 for around $350
PPI PC4200 for around $370

etc...

These are just some quick examples from searching prices online.

hmm, i was also thinking of Rockford Fosgate. Any others??

kev

 

i'll second fosgate (or third it or whatever) they are awsome underated (wattage) ampps avalible but orion makes by far some of the best except they are a little PRICY

 

$350 for a sweet phoenix gold...dunno if you want to spend that much but it pounds my subs
