Guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 whats a constant? i assume you mean power (12v), remote turn-on, and ground. did he say what happened right before it went into protect for him? it could be something as little as a single copper strand of wire got into the amp and is shorting something out, or as "big" as showing the amp low voltage and smoking some components inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jizazz12 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 take it to repair shop and have them test it for you, it may be an easy inexpensive fix. if so let them repair it if not your out a couple of bucks for a bench test, you got the amp for free.

premierdime Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yes im just on a tight budget wanted to see if you guys think this amp is worth putting money into vs putting that money into a different amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizazz12 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 if your on a tight budget in my opinion it would be better to see what's wrong with it and make a decision based on what you find out. most shops charge a bench fee and will add that to the cost of the repair should you decide to get it fixed. so if the repair ends up costing you 100.00 bucks lets say, your still ahead of the game versus kicking out lets say 250 or 300 on another amp.

premierdime Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's true I'm going to drop it off later on today. The only thing i was worried about is its reliability and if its actually going to do 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
