Some people have suggested that Blaupunkt is discontinuing these because of reliability issues. I found one at Frye's for $70, which was a very good deal, and installed it to run my 10" sub.

I installed it in the passenger foot well and even added a 12v fan to circulate the air since it was a small space and the floor area does get pretty warm. But that's what these amps are advertised for - small spaces where their supposed cooler operation allows them to keep from overheating.

It fried last week, after only a few months of service. I am not a bass hog so I doubt I ran it anywhere near maximum output.

I am dissapointed that it gave up so soon - I've had a Kenwood 4x50 amp over the gas tank, pressed up against the rear shelf (no air flow) for two years with no problems.

 

Would Fry's give you any warranty?

 

I recently asked Blaupunkt Technical Support via email where I could find a PA2200. They confirmed that it has been discontinued. They also said Blaupunkt plans to introduce a whole new line of class T amplifiers by the beginning of next year.

If it can perform reliably, I'd rather have a small amplifier than a big amplifier.
