Im not saying he's bad, But from the few questions i asked DB-r (about his services), combined with his replys to MM0142, I seriously dont see how he's in any kinda buisness.
Seems rude, Rushed, and answers what HE wants to..
DB-r, Congrats, You wont be fixing my millions of amps i need repaired.
[/my experiences]
As for the "All refurbs are bad" ( i assume this was a joke?)
Refurbed products are sent BACK to the company, after a problem is found. When said problems are found, the product (Amp in this case) goes threw rigerous testing (More tests then an amp fresh off the line, still on the shelf.), Then its problems are fixed (At which point a "True" company [Not sure we got anymore of those in the good ol u.s.] would realize WHY wat happened, Happened, And fix that as well.), Then it goes back threw more testing, At which point if its deemed okay it is sent back to the customer. Meaning they SHOULD BE less problematic then a "New" amp.
Now, Let me see if i can find any of my PM's / Emails to / from DB-r, So you can see that i too have had the same problem with his "cockiness"
Oh, And OP, Your best bet is to chaulk it up as a loss (Im sorry), And have TeamPSI or someone recone your subs.
