Heres the deal. I bought this off the forum in perfect working order. I used this for a week tops and in my infinite wisdom decided it would be a good idea to utilize my custom plexi bottom which was for my previous amp, an AQ2200. Well obviously the plexi was short on both sides, leaving the amp open on both ends. I had a beauty panel over so figured it was no big deal. I competed in a MECA show in October and won 1st in Street 2 hitting a 147.1 with my single BTL 15" and this amp. The amp shut down the next day and upon checking it I found a burnt resistor. I sent it in to the factory authorized Audioque reapir center and got it fixed for just under $200. It runs out a single strand of speaker wire was touching in the voltage regulator. I have included the email from the repair center. I just this week bought an AQ3500D.1 so I no longer need this. Selling for exactly what I originally paid for it (so obviously I'm out $200 for repair cost). I have only hooked up the amp to make sure it works since I got it back and obviuosly it does 100%. No bass knob as I didnt receive one with it. I may be able to get one but can't guarantee it.

Cosmetically- solid 8.5-10 (Top of amp is near mint with some slight scartches on end caps and mounting feet)
Functionally- 100%
Hi Chris,
I have looked over the amp and the good news is that everything is fine minus the burnt resistor. There was a small strand of copper speaker wire that was lodged between the legs of the voltage regulator, causing the resistor to get hot. LOL, Now I have seen everything! Anyways, removed the wire and everything is functioning flawlessly. I will ship it to you tomorrow.

This is the burnt resistor
This is after the repair. R33 is the resistor that was burnt.
