My Tantrum 200.2 Fried
My Tantrum 200.2 Fried
After 8 years of abuse, the ol tantrum 200.2 has died. After opening it up I'm wondering how difficult it would be to repair it. I don't have a schematic, but it's clear were it burnt. Any ideas on what part of the amp failed or what happened are greatly appreciated. Was driving a Dual Coil (Series) JL 15w3 bridged. Blue light comes on with remote input, no audio. Sorry for the crappy pics!

Re: My Tantrum 200.2 Fried
It seems like the rail voltage filter section got toast. Its repairable but since its so small its probably better off as a "parts" amp (terminal blocks, screws, mounting clamps, rca jack, ect).
I picked up one from ebay (listed as in good condition, turns out there no audio). So after closer inspection I found an open trace for the protection IC, so I placed a jumper wire and now I get audio on both channels. I'll post pics as soon as I take some. Pretty nice little fella for some mids or tweets (tweets would require active/passive crossover as the amps hi-pass is 125hz), great for mids.
