JL 1000/1 Slash repair?

[Charliemkv]

Alright guys i have a 1000/1 JL amp that burned maybe a 1 year back, i finally decided to sent it in for repair to JL audio $180 flat rate + dealer shipping chargers. long story short i got the amp back a week later from my local dealer stating that the amp is irreparable, what really thru me off was that the sales men was quick to offer me a 2nd hand 1000/1 for $300, i said no thanks, they refunded me the 180.

my questions are if any this sound right to any of you guys?.. I mean its JL own amp and they couldn't repair it?.. they didn't included any other information other then it was irreparable.

any advice on what to do, I've tried contacting JL but i cant get past the receptionist to talk to a repair tech or anybody else. her answer was basically it is what it is. Do we have a JL rep here on the forum?

Call there tech line and ask for Eric Cole. It may be because it's a v1 and they don't have some parts anymore.

ohhhhh, yeah my amp is the V1..I thought the difference between the V1 and V2 was just the outer casing?

Internals are different. The v2 has better efficiency.
