I would probably start by troubleshooting the things external to the
amp given the description you gave.
Things like frayed speaker wires, damaged speaker coils, overdriven
inputs, etc all could be causing the repeat failures of the amp.

Checked and replace the speaker wires. Had the wedge monitors and
speaker wires hooked up to another amp with no problems.

Damaged speaker coils? Didn't check them. How would i check them?

You'll tend to know if they're damaged !


Overdriven inputs?. Was thinking about that. The only inputs going to
the amp are from the mixing board.

Was it running loud ? Decent pro gear is protected against overheating etc but
consumer ( and 'prosumer' ) products usually aren't.

From the appearance of it and the price I'd guess it's an 'also-ran' Chinese amp
and I wouldn't expect it to be that durable.

OK, American Audio is a DJ brand. DJ brands are normally total crap.

A Behringer EP1500 would be a far better choice btw.

That's the funny part. It wasn't running loud at all when it went. Had
it turned almost off while one of the guitar players was tuning up.
This amp is suppose to have overheating and surge protection circuits
build into it. I'm just wondering if it could be that.
Behringer EP1500 is pretty good eh?. I'll have to look into it. I was
looking at the Crown brands i think the 402 or the 602

It's definitely gonna be replaced with a new unit hopefully very soon.
This little amp has given it's all for me. I'm not about to chuck it
It's actually a pretty good sounding amp. Problem is once something
goes on it, you can be that that's just the start. It's usually
followed by other thing going too.


are you using a Slow blow fuse?
