Borris The Blade Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 At least you and your hard work came out alright. Its one of those things that they may fight you on replacing, since it went out 2 weeks later. It may be hard to prove what exactly caused it fail, but if its physical damage to the board it's easy to blame the wreck. It's like rubbing your wiener up against a sheep.

Cardboardcat15 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 -wreck caused hairline crack in board/loosened components -daily driving/listening since then caused problem to worsen (audio gear would normally stand up to this) -gear broke due to damage from crash That's how I could possibly see it anyway, though I can't say I'm right or not.

Miguels Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 if the crash was hard enough to break the amp weeks later more than likely the car wasnt in operating condition.. how the hell did you kept listening to it daily for the coarse of a few weeks?? my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf2 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 You would've been better off to use your own words with the insurance company to get this dealt with, instead of coming on here and asking people to give you advice whether or not you should commit potential fraud. I mean people do things like that all the time, I've seen people get dents in the side of their car and their cracked front bumper fixed from a minor rear end collision. Is what it is. You can make your own decision on whether or not that damaged it and you're going to pursue it, and the insurance company will come to their own conclusion about it. However if you're going to commit to the fraud, and you haven't blown it already, might as well go all the way and don't mention that you beat on it daily for 2 weeks afterwards. I won't judge you for it, just thought I'd voice the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4killer_ Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Imo it is plausible that components inside the amplifier especially if it was mounted in the trunk area, could have weakened and failed after that fact. Is it likely? If it was a significant impact, id say yes. If you can't mount your amp on a box for fear of rattling apart, i could easily see a car crash causing similar effects. On the other hand for lesser impacts, maybe not. I would just tell tge truth. If you honestly think the impact killed your amp, tell them that. If youre up front about it, its up to them to make the call. Certainly make and support you reasonings, but theres no reason to try and "reach". If its at all plausible, you have a case.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would send the amp to a repair place and have them determine what went wrong with it and submit the report to your insurance company. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

P4killer_ Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's a decent idea. If a repair shop were to support your claim, youd be in good shape imo. I wouldn't initially send it, without first speaking the your insurance. Maybe offer to have it looked at, but your insurrance may cover it without that. To add to that, many repair centers take a good bit of time, possibly taking to long for the insurance. Especially if they dont even look at your amp for 2-3weeks.

Kyblack76 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Did the amp play after the wreck? then you are gonna have to "lie a bit" i mean, .. what made the amp fail, could have happened 3 days before the wreck. You know that big pot hole...... sooooo if your gonna try and bull shit them... THEN BULLSHIT THEM.
