MuRKRoW Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone. Like the title says, I have a BXi1610D that needs to be repaired. The amp powers on fine, but outputs no sound at all. It doesn't go into protect mode and I have no warranty for this. If possible, I would like a few options so that I can call around and see what it would cost. Is there anyone on here that is trusted and can repair amplifiers? Thanks in advance for your input! PS: Please don't suggest CIA Engineering. I sent an amp to this company to be repaired around June 2010 and didn't receive it back until January 2011. They had it for 7 months and after hundreds of calls from me asking where it is, they sent it back. To be honest, I think they were trying to not send it back. When it finally arrived, there was a note saying it had not been repaired and when I opened the lid, it was 10 times worse than when it started. Now i'm out $450 for that amplifier!

Have you tried MAXXONICS? They may have a repair or exchange program... I would try them. http://www.hifonics.com/Hifonics_Company_Information.html Quote 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

I would try them. http://www.hifonics.com/Hifonics_Company_Information.html Well the amp was opened by the previous owner and is 2+ years old. What I would need is a company that isn't affiliated with the manufacturer or just someone that can repair it on their own and is trusted Quote Sound Solutions Audio ZCON 18 Crescendo Audio BC3500D JVC KD-R80BT headunit Alpine/Pioneer mids & highs 4 group 34 agm batteries Knukonceptz 3x0ga. terminals Kicker/XS Power 0ga. wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuRKRoW Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 db-r maybe? I will look that company up. Thanks! call hifonics and tell them you need to send in your amp for repair and based on your location they'll have you call a number near you to send in your amp for repair They don't just ask you where you live and then give you a number... I've dealt with Maxxsonics before and to be honest, I found their customer service very unfriendly. They will ask for the make/model of the amp along with the serial number and what is wrong with it. If the amp is in warranty, then you can send it to them and then they send it out to be fixed. Otherwise they will give you their 2 "certified" repair centers - one being CIA Engineering (the place that held onto my amp for 7 months, destroyed it, and then sent it back and basically said tough luck) and the other I can't recall the name of (it's in California). That amp that CIA Engineering wrecked was 3 days past my month warranty and they said there was nothing they could do. Like I said before, I need a company or person that isn't affiliated with Maxxsonics/Hifonics and that is trustworthy. I really would love having this amp working again!

This is their site: http://www.audioclinik.com/. I've called this place before and they wanted me to spend around $200 not including shipping to have my other amplifier repaired. That is why I went with CIA Engineering, but I got screwed in the end for going the cheap route I guess. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they can be more reasonable on the prices. Thanks!
