Anybody that knows anything about systems please help me. Ever since my Aura MR-4150Q amp blew I have been having problems trying to get it fixed. The damn company is under restructuring after they went out of business, which means they were bought out & the name is being kept. Well I have been given the damn run around w/ the freakin amp & I have given up on trying to fix this thing. I will get to them eventually even if I have to drive to El Sigundo myself. ***Rant mode off***
I need an amp that is equivilant to this one. The MR 4150Q can drive 4/3/2 channel systems. Rated at 100W x 4 or 300W x 2 @ 4 ohms, 12.5VDC. Well the stereo shop that installed my system have this amp dropped to a 2 ohm load. It pushes extremely well. By the way I have 2 of them & now only one cause one blew. Is there any amp out there that I can buy that is equivilant to this cause I don't want a set of 12"'s to be pushing harder than the others, it just wouldn't sound right to me. By the way I have four 12"'s & each amp is pushing two 12"'s.
What ever amp I get I know it will look out of place by having two different amps side by side. So I was thinking of building a box around the amps w/ built in fans so I don't have to worry about over heating. What kind of fans should I use & how many of them would I need? By building this box will it cost a lot??? If you have questions as to what my system contains or how it is set up, go to my website (in the sig) & click on the Stereo System section.

As for fans ... use some 12V computer cooling fans. They come in 40, 60, 80 & 120mm sizes and various flow rates. The most powerful ones will also be the loudest. Use one as an intake fan and one as an exhaust fan.

 

Those two amps end-to-end look really good. Have you tried getting the amp repaired by a TV/stereo/camera/electronics shop? It might be worth a little extra cash to keep your setup like it is. Another (crazy) idea - if you can find a very similarly spec'ed amp, could you take out the "guts" and remount them in the case of your blown amp - it might work if you're lucky.

 

Wow I never thought that I would have got a response on this thread, thanx guys. I have been to every electronics shop in my town and none of them work on car amps. I told them what was wrong and everyone told me that it would be cheaper to buy another amp then to fix that one. I also thought about that swaping another amp into the shell of the Aura but w/ this 100+ degree weather kicking in I seriously need some cooling fans in a box for these amps, anymore ideas guys cause my stereo shop install place is out of town & I don't want to make any unnecesarry trips, ya know? Thanx guys
