I know this is pretty dumb question as usually the only one who can repair an amp is the factory and it is usually cheaper to buy a new one- Figured I would take a shot anyways.... I have 3 blown amps laying around- 2 that don't power on and one that does with blwon outputs (i think) figured I would see if I could pay someone a few bucks (if by some crazy chance) to fix rather than just junking-

This sounds like a good excuse to buy a multi-meter and learn some basic troubleshooting. I know there are a few people on here who can fix these things. Good luck in persuading one of them to help. 9/25/2006 4:47:30 PM |

it's ussally not worth it to fix them unless it's a high dollar amp. most professional places charge around $70-100 depending on the size of the amp.what amps are they? 9/25/2006 5:03:11 PM |

Nothing super expensive that I would be willing to drop $100 on to fix hence why I've come here. One is a Kicker ZR240 (old school but has been faithful until now), Kenwood 700watt mono block, and Bazooka 700watt mono block. 9/25/2006 5:14:48 PM |

If you are a total electronics noob, then we aren't going to really be able to walk you through fixing one. The best thing is to befriend someone that likes playing with them, give it to him and see if he can figure it out, and when he does, offer him $20 for his time. 9/25/2006 7:15:14 PM |

If you want to pay me the same rate I get paid at work to look at your stuff, I'll take a day off work and fix them. But it's going to be a good deal more than "a few bucks".

If they could be fixed I would be willing t pay someone $100 plus whatever parts are needed to do it as a flat rate versus hourly- Let me know 9/26/2006 5:16:08 PM |
