been put through allot over the last few years and did just fine but today it died so far im blaming a ground that came loose i noticed it after i smelled the burning electronics. ive got it open and just noticed some broken solder joints on a few of the transistors and some blackened resistors which are just smoked no damage to them. im thinking the bumps and loose ground killed it idk. good thing im looking for another amp otherwise id be a bit more angry cant decide if im gonna try to repair it or just use it for some parts.

That blows ass.

what kind of amp?

rxd2400 so no big loss it was a good cheaper amp ive been happy with for years
its my fault for not checking the ground sooner
i kinda want to get a mm4000.1 like bill suggested a while back but all i can find are factory refurbs and ive heard bad things about those
dB-r has some good deals on some sundown amps too
this looks good too http://www.crescendoaudio.com/product.p ... ctid=17515
dont know what im gonna get as a replacement for sure yet

I Competed with factory refurb mm4000.1's for 3 years had over 16 amps and of all of them 1 was faulty. I wouldn't worry about refurbs.

good to know thanks

yeah I have used refurbs before never had any problems with them.
