locals are usually autherized and warrentied

BUT

JL will charge you hundreds for a non warrentied repair,another reason I dont bother with em

Three things to consider here.

1) You may have bought a refurbed amp and it died again.

2) You bought a new amp from a authorized dealer and it died.

3) Your ground return resistance is sky high and it has claimed your amp.

Mind you there are those on this forum and others that do not understand that a PROPER GROUND IS NOT always a short piece of wire that is attached to the closest bolt.

Local shop.

Did they install it or you?

i installed it, the amp ground was shared with the main amp (mids) ground wouldnt that kill both ? Also how can I check the resistance of my ground... or what should I look for... when I mean shared I mean they are attached in the same spot... not that theyuse the same wire...

Well, hopefully you didn't break a warranty seal when you opened it up... that would ****.
