1990lumina Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 My friend had one for a month of so until it blew up...kept blowing fuses, and then PSSSSSSZAPP! and that was it for that amp....good looking amp though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Oh, the problem was internal...not the fault of the external wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Those amps claim they can run stable at 1/2 ohm if I remember which would reqire a pretty stout charging/wiring set up. My friend had the "4000" watt beast going to 2 w-6 12s and kept frying it. cant remember if he tried pulling 1/2 ohm, he probably had it at 1 ohm which is like a 1000 watts. Someone threw a chain dog leash on it the first time it zapped,then he warrantied it out. That is the only way to go. 1 year unconditional warranty from local store.

rshissler Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Threw a dog chain on it and it fried? how did that happen? Buddy of mine found this amp in my mag at skool and wanted to know about it. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=267-132 he has 2 12" Alpines as well (liked how mine sounded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley456 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 My brother bought a MA Audio amp.....I cant remember which model but it was the 600rms 2 channel version of that amp. It powerd his Visonik 12. But I seemed like it wasnt outputing the rated power. I swaped it out for a used 480rms 2 channel crappy Kenwood and the kenwood blew the MA audio amp away. Not only in Output but in sq. With the MA amp, the bass notes seemed rather muddy and undistinguishable. Now this may have been the result of some internal malfunction or something but all in all I wasnt very impressed with it. But their higher power amps maybe another story. I have no expierience with those. I have always had good things to say about the Alpine MRP-M350's. I had one a couple years ago and I sold it to get my PG amp. Well I just had my brother go and by one for himself. They are affordable 350rms class D amps. There just arent many of those arround these days.

sl3196 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I've had this MA Audio amp for around 5 years and never blew a fuse or anything. Been an excellent amp. Also run a MA digital cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 A friend of mine had a MA audio amp, and MA audio subs, both sucked and never sounded right. That PG amp is a good amp though, much better than MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think it don't matter what brand as much as where you buy and what warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
