smokeumtires Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 $250 flat rate rockford will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactownstang Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I bet RF fixes it for free if it was purchased authorized and still under warranty. I am not speaking on their behalf, just what I have seen in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Duh its not gonna be fixed free, he said he touched the two speaker wires together. heh But sending it back to rockford can mean sending it to their repair shop for a fee I'm kinda surprised it didn't go into protect or fuse-out before the fets cooked. Those new rockfords have pretty touchy protect circuits...

Guest KyleCannon Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yeah for some reason it went into protect and then came out of it before i could fix the error.... like literally 2 seconds and it was DONE. oh well, hopefully i get lucky..

DO U REPRSENT RF? Don't come here saying what they will or won't do. I am not employed by RF but they have great customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 get lucky my ass...It was a complete accident.....I would be pissed if they didnt fix it for free..... If you accidently stuck a drill press through your amp would you expect them to fix it for you? Or ran it over with your car? They have damn good CS but they have NO obligation to fix something that failed because of what the user did to it. The power supply is blown, clearly, but because you killed it by touching the speaker wires together it's possible that the output section has gone bad too. A bit of skill with a soldering iron won't help you fix it yourself unlike what someone mentioned above, you need to know how to check all the functionality of the amp... repairing an amp isn't just a matter of swapping out the obviously smoked parts........ even if you have an o-scope people should really start off with a smaller amp that won't blow up in your face again if it's not just right.

Those other examples obviously arent legit excuses...He didnt abuse it...I do see where you are coming from though... The warranty then, in other words, covers only things that could be defective from the factory? Thats not worth the extra cash in my opinion.... IF this is the case.... again, Im not trying to be a dick...im just trying to make a point that everytime i see a thread about "I blew my RF amp"...people are quick to to say "Did u buy it new from RF so u get warranty?"
