Phoenix Gold Amp keeps burning my fuse...HELP!!!!?

Question

I keep on changing the fuse in my Phoenix Gold XS 2300 Amp, and it keeps burning when I turn my truck on. I've already wasted 8 fuses and it is certain something is wrong.

I called PG and they told me it is the Output Transistor...

Anyone know if this can be fixed by me or do I really need to loose my amp for 2 weeks to have the company repair it...Complicated or not???

Any help would be great!

Thanx

Sandy

Answer 1

The best thing you need to do is get a quality amp. Phoenix is one of the cheapest amp (quality & price).

Answer 2

the best thing for u to do,is get a high quality amp,like a soundstorm amp,they are high quality,i have one with a pair of 12" 1200watt soundstorm stealth subs.

Answer 3

Hi Fonics Amp would be your best choice through and through.

Answer 4

if you are going to keep your amp it would need to be fixed by them. with that said i would get a higher quality amp with-in the specs of your speakers since you didnt list them i will use the specs of the amp that you have. by the way Phoenix Gold's website is c**p it was h**l trying to get to the manual for that amp. anyway you amp is listed at...... 75 watts rms by 2 channels at 4 ohm..... 150 watts rms by 2 channels at 2 ohm.... 300 watts rms by 1 channel (bridge) at 4 ohm. this is an amp that is not that expensive and it might be a better idea to replace it instead of getting it fixed. i suggest this amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6570... but thats just because i like Kicker amps but this it also a good amp for a good price http://www.millionbuy.com/tmat3602.html i dont know if you are using this amp to power subs or full range speakers but in either case you have a lot of options under the $200 mark.

i hope this helps
