RadioShack services most equipment like that. They will send it out to their repair shop and will tinker with it for about 2 weeks then send it back and charge you about $100. youll take it home to discover it has the same issue. You then return to the shop and say "What the F*** Man!" and he'll say "O don't worry, well send it out again for free." Another two weeks will go by and they'll send it back and say "Sorry we don't service that unit at all heres your money back."

seriously though... avoid the radio shack repair shop if its not a radio shack product they say they can fix it but 80% of the time they cant and it will take at least a month to find that out.

not that i thought any of you would actually use their shop on your nice equipment, just a general word of warning.

I had Cheetos and wine for dinenr.

You can also send it back to Fosgate, They will fix it for you. Look them up and get a RA#. I don't know what the charges will be, but there will be a 800 # you can call.

Do it right the first time

I found out that my amp wasnt messed up. But i also found out that it would be atleast 180 bucks to replace the power supply in it, which would be the cause for the amp blowin fuses like theres no tmmra.

is your load on the amp lower than how ever many ohms stable the amp is?

electronics run off of smoke, when you let the smoke out they stop working

does this unit blow the fuse as soon as the fuse is inserted or only when you try to remote the amp on?
