dead amp?

[oryan20xx 10+ year member]

I bought a Orion 250R amplifier on ebay and recieved it the other day. I had it installed and all it produces is a static sound and makes my sub go to full excursion. I put my Orion 225R back in and it works fine. I called Orion and they no longer make parts for it.

Is there any way to fix it? Why is there static sound being produced?

k ive had this problem with amps off ebay before..

what payment method did you use, cause if you used paypal than you might be able to get your money back?

was the amp listed as working or as is?

if you post a link to the amp you won i will be able to tell you what your options are, the link should be in your ebay folder if it was purchased in the last 30 days

Its possible the input connectors are shorting on the circuit board. Ive noticed if you remotely ground the center pin on the RCAs, they cause mass noise.

I did use pay pal and this is the link to ebay-

I dont understand shorting the circuit board... I was upgrading from the 225r to 250r so they are the same install. Do you think if it still powers up that it will be able to work?

k take it to a stereo shop and get them to test the amp for you and tell them to put it under load

if they cant find a problem with it then iys your install

get the amp checked asap so you can let the seller know if its damaged

and finally if the amp is damged and the seller wont give you a refund, contact your credit card company and file a claim with them.

then your credit car company will credit your account with the money and they will go after the seller

thanks for the ideas, i took it down to the stereo store after I hooked it up. I hooked it up from my old amp to new back to old. The wires are in plugs so there is no way the wiring was messed up or anything. I do want to take the amp to another store and have it tested though. I would love to run it.
