I think my amp is dead

[Chris from MI]

Well, leaving the g/f house last night at about 2:30 and about 10 degrees outside. I get in the car and start it up. The radio turns on then I hear the amps click on, I hear this very wierd noise coming from my sub (almost like it is scrapping something) turn the volume down to 0, still making the noise. Turn the HU off and the amps shut off. So i am driving home and decide to try to turn them back on, when I do the noise is gone but one sub is lifeless .

Now at that point I was thinking it was the sub, so I get home and pop the trunk to check out the amps for the hell of it. The one is completely dead, no status light or anything just dead. The fuse on the distro block was fine. Well then today I get around to checking the fuses on the amp, all 3 40A fuses are toast.
Now my dilema is do I try to replace the fuses and repower the amp or what? Anyone got any ideas of what it could be. Do you think cold weather could have anything to do with it? The amp is a JBL 1200.1. Any help is appreciated.

hopefully no condensation built up inside, and caused it to short.

dunno, my 1200.1 died when my mtx subs blew but i got it fixed now it works fine. Id sell it for like 300 bucks maybe or trade for a kicker or jbl 600.1 and like 100 bucks

Where did you send it to get fixed and how much did it cost ya?

[Bwcad1]

i would take it inside for a few hours and then replace the fuses and test it. then if its f'ed send it in for repairs

lucky i had a certified JBL repair guy 2 or 3 miles from my house and it was free under warrenty.

Did you hook the other amp up to that subwoofer? Maybe the subwoofer is blown and causing problems.... oh and by the way :RE :)

[Mithrandir]

not to hijack a thread but if i run my jbl 1200.1 at 8 ohms it will be half of 600 right which is 300 rms or no?
