[QUOTE="Seth F., post: 8720000, member: 680868"] First Snaffu. The Skar SK-M5001D amp half quit sometime between Saturday and today. I did all the tests though, 13.7v DC at the power terminals. Verified Signal coming from the mono channels of my DSP. Verified my sub is presenting the expected load (eliminating the sub as the problem). Verified that the amp was not in protect mode. End result is that the amp turns on but there is no AC voltage coming off the speaker terminals no matter where the gain is set. I'm not counting Skar out yet though because the return process was quick and simple. I already got it approved and had a response to a question within 5 minutes basically at 5:30pm when they close. Now I just have to remove the amp and send it back for an exchange. I'm going to give this one another go and if it doesn't give me at least a few months then I wont bother with Skar again. This truck will have multiple systems in it anyway so losing $120 on this one amp doesn't really bother me. Its just a shame it didn't last a month. Anyway, I cant wait to hear all the told ya so's about Skar. 🙃 [/QUOTE]
