Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I would never buy an amp from someone that would replace the set screw with a wood screw no matter how cheap it was. 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.

mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I didn't realize it until I had already bought it. I met the guy at the gas station and had my buddy hook it up while going inside to use the restroom and test it for me. he didmt bother mentioning it to me..

Miguels Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 its repairable but not worth the trouble... you're better off buying another amp.. at that power range its cheap. scv 1500 is a solid amp 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...
mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 okay, I have a guy that's supposed to be meeting me at my work at 7 to go through it and figure out exactly what's wrong with it and go from there.. would it be worth anything for parts? and I only need 600 rms max as I do not want to over drive the hell out of the subs because they're still under warranty. any other recommendations?

meade916 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 it looks like it was used as a boat anchor. I can't blame the manufacturer for the way that amp was treated. Buy a new one, hook it up right, take care of it and you will have a lifetime of great tunes. Things break or malfunction......that's what electronics do. But whoever owned that amp before you clearly fucked it up. All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

mhuffman Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Steve, I see that now. lol. but the 1500.1 looked immaculate inside so im not sure what the issue is. I've ran other amps with no problem's and the guy fixing my amp said this is a common issue with these. he said the caps were toasted and that even if he fixes them there is probably another unseen issue, so im stuck on fixing the caps and seeing what happens or trying to sell it for parts or something.

mhuffman Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 im just kinda irritated I finally got the blow through in my truck and 2 days later I don't have an amp worth a crap to run the drivers. im going to find something decent that's used for now and save up for something better that's new.
