[QUOTE="wesl56, post: 1959758, member: 568915"] ok so i bought a new 9857 on may 30th... bought it from ikesound (yes i know what you're gonna say) but i have bought from them many many times since 2002 and always been satisfied... well there is no sound comming out of it... im guessing the internal amp took a dump (wtf it only lasts a month and a half?!?!) with only 2 speakers hooked up to it too... but anyways... to get it repaired, i have to pay to send it back, pay a $35 return fee, and then they will send it off for "repair", which takes 6-8 weeks they say... i dont know if the preouts still work or not, but i was planning on running all my speakers off an external amp anyways once i get them.. so what would you guys do? i really really dont wanna pay $45-$50 and have to wait till september to have music in my car... would it be faster if i just took it to a shop to repair it, or will it have to go back to alpine for repairs? or should i just say fuk it and run external amps off it (hopfully the preouts still work) and then just be screwed if i ever decide to sell it?
