[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 6915977, member: 576010"] OK mr. know it all.. why don't you call DB-r or go to a local repair shop and get a quote, and then decide if it's worth the repair bill... rather then asking us... Its a $175 amp in working condition as far as I am concerned, so do the math... As far as the amp blowing up they shut down below 10.5 volts.. I know this because I run a VR2000D and have tested this.. And on that note, no amp in the history of car amplifiers has ever blown up because of a lack of voltage.. If you understood ohms law you would understand why this is true.. And no, a fuse does not protect against over voltage or the amps thermal temperature either.. it protects against over current...
