2 of the channels on my Acurus 200x3 amp stopped working... how do i go about fixing the other 2 channels?

Unless you know how to repair electronics and have the schematic to the amp, you don't. Call the company and ask where a certified repair facility is or send it back to them.

I think most Audio Repair shops can fix that for you.

Check with Indy Audio Labs.Com. They have taken over sales production etc. of Acurus and Aragon products. Hope this helps.

Acurus has LONG since gone out of business.

But as others have said, simply taking it to your local audio repair shop is your best bet. I used to have that amp and I had a center channel that kept blowing a fuse in the amp. I thought I had a busted channel like the OP, but once I took it to a repair shop, I was pleasantly surprised that it was such a simple fix.

I ended up buying a couple of spare fuses and the next time it happened, I just swapped it out myself. After having it happen a few times though, I ended up getting rid of the offending speaker.

At one point, I had 4 Acurus 200X3 amps.

Then I believe you and TLS Guy scared the daylights out of me and I sold all four!

Oh dear! That is not good news. You just don't use amps that don't have speaker protection. To do so is inviting a blown speaker every time a power transistor fails. Line fuses just do not protect speakers from this event. I have doubted all along that your conditions of use damaged your speaker. My experience and intuition tell me that amplifier is likely guilty of the crime.

I would not use any solid state amp that did not have good speaker protection, that did not have either an output capacitor or an output transformer. At the power of your amp I very much doubt it has an output capacitor. If it, did the tech would not have tested it for DC off set Only Macs I think have transformers. Producing that amp like that was fraud, period.

I will file that amp for future reference and put it on the avoid do not use list.

Sorry to be blunt, but that is the best advice I can give. That amp belongs in the recycling center, it is a rogue design.

hehe
