crossfire vr2000d is makin funny noises

well i guess i had to find out the hard way not to mount your amps to your box. built this huge *** ported box for my ***** am, didnt really have anywhere to put the amps without building a backseat amp rack, so i put them on the box, and bumped it while i was driving across town to lowes to get some rubber spacers to put between them and the box.

i got about 5 minutes, and my crossfire starts making some weird noise. the amp itself emits a real high pitched noise, and also will play a scratchy noise off and on through the subs. it still plays the bass fine, just throws in the scratchy noise once in a while. the amp also doesnt always make the high pitched noise, but i wasnt aware there was anything inside an amp that could make a sound like that.

i know im probably gonna have to send it in, but is crossfire cool about people sending them amps to fix, like i could send it to em and pay them whatever it costs to fix, or will they tell me to piss off since im not the original owner, and it probably isnt under warranty? any other people i could send it to to have fixed? i opened the thing up and couldnt see anything knocked loose or looking out of place inside, but thats as far as i can take it.

They have a flat rate charge to repair it. They will fix it but youll have to pay something like $125ish IIRC.

How did you manage to kill both amps?

i've got a bigass ported box in my ***** am. mounted the amps to the box since there wasnt anywhere else besides the backseat and i didnt want to remove it and build an amprack like im going to have to do now.

the crossfire made it about 5 minutes before it started making noises, i pulled it, hooked up a diamond d5 600.2 that i had on my components to that and put some rubber grommets between it and the box thinking it would be fine. it made it almost a week before dying.

A amp does not necessarily have to be mounted to a box to die a horrible death. One of my customer blew her Xtant amps 3 times, a X1001 and X604 before she decided to change amps. The output of the subs were knocking the caps right off of the circuit board in her RSX. We just received her new amps back from Mitek again (4th time) and she is selling them off and going with something entirely different, Zapco maybe.

well i had both amps in my car for about 4 months prior, the crossfire died within 5 minutes of being mounted on the new box, and the diamond within a week. i think it may be related.

my shit pounds, upper 140's easily, but i dont think its loud enough to harm the amps once they're mounted in a backseat amp rack.

oh yeah, and is it possible that either amp is not repairable?
