Jskiles Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Why pay someone to do it when I can fix it myself? Just gotta find whats wrong.

bighossf150 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Because you don't know what you are doing and will more than likely mess it up more. No way you will pay $50 for a repair. My bc3500 was over $250 when it got fixed Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorman Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Send it to someone who knows what they're doing. I've gone to Amp Medics for my amps a couple times and ask how he knows what's wrong with the amps exactly and he says he meters the ends of all the components to check for continuity and blah blah blah. He says parts can/will weaken greatly and not blow but will still need replaced.Good luck. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

Has stacks of amps in the garage and boards everywhere. Said he got in to the business accidentally and doesn't even have a piece of audio gear in his car lol MY BUILD 1998 Ford Explorer 2dr sport 1/0 Big 3 1/0 everything Alpine cda-9884 Crescendo CZ components (2) Crescendo bc2000's (2) Jolt 150ah (2) Yellow top optimas (1) Juicebox black cherry addition (1) Mechman 270 avbm miss my bc5500 and (4) 15's You know why people are ass holes online but not in person?

TS2GFrank Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Was that DB-r or Amp Medics you got your repair for $280? I got a couple amps with blown outputs so the repair shouldn't be that expensive if you got full boards for $280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shipped it to him from Texas and he was exceptional in explaining everything. Now, I am on vacation in Clearwater, FL, and had some symptoms happening where I thought the amp went bad and drove 23miles to his personal house where he tested it in front of me and played it flawlessly and helped diagnose.
