Whats Wrong With My Rockford?

Whats up yall. I have a problem. I just bought a rockford fosgate amp (1001bd) off ebay. The owner said it is in perfect condition. I tryed to hook it up today and no sound. We got power, and when you touch the memory with the remote you get a thump from the speakers, but no sound. I thought I heard some small audio sound for a second at one point but nothing else. What do you think is wron

Can someone say FRIED ... either you got jipped or you got bad RCA's or bad power and ground connections, most likely in your RCA's though. Get it tested at a best buy or circuit city with good RCA's."I don't play games. I play Nakamichi and that for real yo" - Probably some japanese kid said this in the early 80's trying to sell stereo out of his trunk lol.

That, or just that it's a rockford... Seen it happen many times. Rockford-Fosbreak is what we used to call 'em when I was installing, and AFAIK, the quality really hasn't gotten much better.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Circuit City used their own RCA's.

Yea any equiptment will break under the hands of people who don't know what they are doing. ~The Rookie~

Rookie of the year that is...

Don't let the smoke out of your equiptment..it doesn't go back in.

lol, i would never buy anything at circuit city, but i would use them for all they got and torture their brainless employees. "I don't play games. I play Nakamichi and that for real yo" - Probably some japanese kid said this in the early 80's trying to sell stereo out of his trunk lol.

I've gotta agree.  I have found Rockford to be very reliable when the equipment is used properly.  Problem is - most Rockford equipment ends up abused by morons who think anything with "Rockford Fosgate" on it is bulletproof.

That said, if you are sure it was DOA contact the seller. If he is reasonable you should be able to get some of your money back. If he is unreasonable and actually did represent that it was in perfect condition then initiate a dispute on ebay. New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

Did you pay paypal? If not you got his address... Why don't you pay him a little visit with the boyz??? I'm sure a few broken fingers will cough up what you paid..."I don't play games.
