Like I said one works real good the larger amp (sub amp) but the little one 4channel shuts off the on ! I did open her up but I could not see anything burnt or melted Im assuming its the power supply. I will snap some pictures of the internals maybe some one could shed some light.

btw thanks for the replies

They are ok, but nothing to special. Just a small company that couldn't make it work in the end and are currently up for sale.

Chorinc amplifiers were not middle of the road amplifiers by any means, these were pretty well built. The ones the op has look newer so maybe they are a cheap remake of what was a great amplifier back in the 90's.

Snoop doggy dog was rumored to be supporting them according to a CES ad from 1998.

That was only a rumor for advertisement. No where near the truth.

It depends on what's wrong really... I have seen pics of the old stuff which is pretty nice but the newer stuff I'm not so sure about...

It was just a small based company like many others. The name damaged them more then anything causing a lack in sales. They are currently an "on the fence" company and their amp line was ok at first and now is not any better then others. Their sub line was mediocre at best.

I would have to dig through files to pull up info on who created it and who owns them now.
