Bayuk89 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 So i bought this used SCV 2000 from the pawn shop thursday and just installed it today. Waiting for DD-1 to arrive in the mail. I set the filters wide open and gain 1/4 just so i can test out the amp..... The amp has been plugged in for 5 minutes and only played at half volume..... The amp is HOT !!!!! output sounds like shit.... WTF ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayuk89 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 How much do you think it would be to fix..... and is it worth it ? Should i take it back to pawn shop and get my $280 back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Take it back and get your money back and buy from someone that is reputable. Pawn shop electronic buys can be a crap shoot, so buy with extreme caution. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayuk89 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 At first i didnt notice anything wrong.... fan worked on it, status light on played 1/2 a song and had hardly any bass...... amp was VERY hot... its not in protect mode but now it doesnt play..... is it worth having this amp repaired or give it back to pawn shop and get my money back ?

Bayuk89 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Ok thanks..... guess my rockville M4 goes back in till i get something else.... first sign of a shady amp is the cover screws were loose and tweaked no wonder no one bought it, sat on the shelf for 5 months....

Wehan Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Some of the bigger well known pawn shops around me use a local repair company for things like this, take it back and see if they would send it in and fix it for you rather than just a gimme my money back sorta deal, they will probably just repair it and try to sell it again anyways.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Take it back. 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.
