Amps in the late 80s-Early 90s; Designed and Handcrafted in the USA . Amps today; Designed and Engineered in the USA....Built in Long Duck Dong,s factory. Too Bad.
Dude, I was running 2 US amps HC-200's at 1/8th of an ohm back in 1996. By the look's of the inside of your amp; they don't make 'em like they used to.
You didn't blow them because of the .2 ohm load. The FETs could handle that. However, they can't handle a 17 volt input because of the way the power supply works. They are rated for 50V, but you actually reach around 70V peak across the MosFet's body diode, shorting it. Another way amps die is that the toroid core saturates under a very high current load. The toroid then looks like a dead short to the FETs. A larger transformer will not saturate and the FETs will live - at least a little longer.
used 2 be a great company. the new $hit is junk. designed and engineered in the US, assembled in china
