If it's an amp worth repairing then go that route. Locally would probably be a lot cheaper but there is db-r

But don't give up just yet, maybe they want you to buy an amp from them. You did take it to them working, how is it that all of a sudden it just broke?

yeah theyre blaming it on me though. they said that it was arcing because of bad connections, which isnt my fault because i disconnected everything before i took it in. they want me to buy a 1200 watt kicker amp, which is definitely not enough for my xxx

Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw.

Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around. Show her who's boss.

so if everything turns on, and no bass, then check your power wire. if your remote wire is connected to it, it can turn on the amp, but wont play music without the power wire. make sure the RCAs are not connected to where it says "output", and like the person above said, double check your wiring from the sub to the amp, which if you wired a negative to a positive, nothing would be heard.

How do the Japanese feel about bass?

You know that since 03/11/11

Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.

im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.

What amp is it, and also if you can get some gut pics, and see if anything looks burnt

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

okay so now i have a question. he says he took my xxx and wired it to 4 ohms, and then bridged this kicker amp to 2 ohms so its getting about 1200 watts. all i can find about the amp is 850w MAX at 4 ohms bridged. it doesnt even say anything about 2 ohms. what the hell am i supposed to tell this guy

Oh man.

GET YOUR CAR BACK FROM THAT CROOKED-ASS SHOP ASAP!!!

They are trying to fuck you eight ways to Sunday with no lube or even a goddamned reach-around.

If you had the subs wired for a four-ohm load there is NO WAY they can wire it to 2 ohms.

They're just taking you for a ride to try and get you to buy their shit.

Too many projects, too little time...
