Hi Wasim,
Yes you can run the two fans by connecting them is series or by using a series resistor to drop the voltage to each fan. You will need to find out how much current each fan draws and work out what value resistor you need. YOu will also need to make sure that the small power supply is big enough (enough VA).
Cheers

Hi Quasi,
I have finished the amplifier. Just placing everything in the box. Just have look.
On the amplifier I just used three thing which are not in your diagram. The Power resistors I use are 0.5ohm 5w and The Caps I used are 440UF200V and the third thing is the 1845 transistors I used 2240. Is it fine will they effect the amplifier quality? I have those and I do not want to buy things
from the market but if you say I will get them.
The Out put FETs are IRFP460.
Regards
Wasim

Hi Quasi,
I have tried to set the Bias of Acrk400 and I got problem with VR2 : I followed you posted procedure on your website.
The problem is that through 100R resistors I can control the voltage but it is not sticking on the one value and with in few min. the 100R resistors explode.
Through 100R 5w resistors on Positive rail I set the VR2 on 4V and after that it start increasing and it will go on and on.
what should i do? Plz help
VR1 is working fine though.

hi wasim,
may i jump in, i have through simiar problems most probable cause may be size of your heatsink and your biasing technique.if heat sink is too small the temprature will keep on rising of the heatsink and so the voltage through 100r resistance.the amp wont be idling and biasing cannot be set.2} if this is not the case check r16,r18 for their exact values with a meter.when the resister blew did you replaced it with anoher one and repowered the amp.are all mofets ok.when you see voltage is rising you should roll back the trimmer and give some time around 25-30 minutes the amp to idle.keep doing this until your voltages are stable.have you read the thread carefully.

Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes you can always jump in
The R16 and R18 are with the same values as Quasi mentioned in the diagram on his website. The heat sink that have MJE350 heats up little. The heat sinks for output Fets are quite big. I used to use them for Nmos350 and they worked very well.
I replaced the 100R resistors again but it did the same with it. Burn them within few min.
Can you tell me how can i test my fets are working or not?
Regards

hi wasim,
have you measred the dc offset. try disconnecting output coil and zobel network and rebias the amp.you can meaure voltage drop across the source resistors 0.47r to see if the fets are working.

transistor replacement..
Hi all,
Can i replace trans mje15030/31 with FJPF1943/5200 to220F ( http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/FJ/FJPF1943.pdf ) ?
I`ve build nmos 200 and nmos350/500 (10 sets) and i`ve success build them all with no problem at all, i`m always do with lower volatage first time setup before power it with high voltage.
I`m going to build this system with 10 pair power trans to power up subwoofer 8 ohm 750 watts 18 inch, just wanna check few component might be upgrade for high current source such as mje340/350 and mje15030/31.
Actually i`m not build this thing for commercial and i`m just used it for myself at home, car and pajero, because sound system is my hobby and i love music.
Hope can get more info from expert users here for any suggestion. Exspecially quasi and other expert members.
Regards.

Hi ravslanka,
I did what you said. Remove the zobel network and tried to fix the bias thing. It is stable but still I can get minimum 20V across the 100ohm resistors. I could increase the voltage but could not reduce it. I changed the FETs also but get the same behavior. What should I do now

hi wasim,
did you checked the orientation of t4 ,diodes and zener diodes,output offset,there is something wrong .and did you read these posts

hi quasi and others,
please check this modified layout pcb of Actrk400 / 600 as it is conventional type ie mosfets on one side.will it work or will it face oscilations or another problems.please comment.reason for this is easy acess of mosfets and easy to screw them.
thanks
