depends on what you blew up!!!!!
Most likely you will need to have someone that has a good knowledge of electronics to do it for you.

I don’t know if you’re talking about having a shop do it or if you’re trying to do it yourself. If your trying to do it your self most likely not. If you’re talking about a shop most VCR/TV shops fix amps and car radios.

what "blewup"? did it start smoking or just NO POWER or what? i'm sure you already have checked the fuse in the amp and the in-line fuse comming right from the battery...... RIGHT?

Well I would have to agree with djfearny2. I wouldnt recomment it for average person. Personally I fixed my amp. I had a fosgate and actually blew it, smoke started coming out. I have electronical background so I opened it up and was able to order the part through fosagate and was able to fix it, but i have the proper equipment. Just remember that once u decide to take off the screws the warranty flies out the window. Best bet for you is take it to a shop. If u do decide to open it up.....GOOD LUCKY! posted_image
