Deal between me and BassAddictJ

[Raven 10+ year member]

Okay, to start this, I'm very frustrated right now. The deal is, BassAddictJ and I swapped amps, my MTX1501D for his Orion 1200. He gets his in a day early, and before I even see the Orion he's got ahold of me saying it's damaged and making a "popping" sound at anything higher than minimal gain.

Now, when I sent it, in fact the day I sent it, was the same day I unhooked it from my car. I sent it working. So somewhere between here and Florida, it got f***ed up.

Having insured it for $400, do you think a "popping sound" is enough to claim for damage in shipping? I don't have the funds to pay for repairs, and even swapping back I will pay shipping for both amps, which is seriously putting me in the hole. I don't know what to do.

What do you sugguest?

did you ask him what kinda shape the box was in when he got it?

azbass: No, actually I didn't.

BassAddictJ: When I shipped that amp out, the INNER box the MTX came in what flawless. No nicks, creases, anything. What condition was it in when you got it?

Anyone sugguesting damage the amp and blame USPS: You guys can't be serious...

Sure I am, if USPS will pay for it might as well finish her off... WWE style.

have him video tape it, showing that the gains are low, and hopefully the camera will pick up the popping noise.

Sounds like a good plan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

^He won't have a camera for some strange reason... I bet 2cents.

Then a video of the amp not doing it's job it is. That is something that USPS could not claim BS on..

is he talking about the noise coming from the amp or from the sub??? the higher i turn the gain up on my 1501d the louder this buzzing sound gets.. which is coming from the inside of the amp. or do all class D amps do this? iunno but when i got my amp for the first time and heard the buzzing sound i thought something was wrong with it. but it works fine and dandy and i am one happy camper. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would take the bet against it. He doesn't sound like a bad person. I really think USPS killed the amp. I just need enough evidence to tell USPS of their fault. They won't just part with $400 on any claim..
