i have a mmats d 200 hc amp and today while i was playing it loud in the driveway it all of a sudden turned off and i heard sparking then i saw the smoke . so i took the heat sink off and looked at the parts and some of the chips are melted i was wondering where i can get parts for these. and also what might cause this

matts amps are very very picky on voltage, you give them over 15 volts smoke, you give them less then 11 volts smoke.   Impedance of less then 1/2 ohm will smoke them with a music setup

Not only that, but NO, there is not likely anyplace you (as a NON-SERVICE CENTER) would be able to acquire the parts. To service an amplifier, you need a power supply for your bench (about 200 dollars for enough current), an oscilloscope (up to 3000 dollars) or meter with frequency counter (around 200 dollars for a good one), a soldering station (starting around 80 dollars for even a cheezy quality one), SCHEMATICS, (which MMATS is not likely going to give you, and if they WILL, about 20 dollars) and knowledge of repair of digital amplifierelectronics (priceless). How many of those items do you posess?

Take it to a service center, or (if it's still under warranty) return it to MMATS for service. You will not be able to service it yourself...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
