RF says it's $130 to have it repaired, is it worth it?
It's this one Rockford Fosgate and looks like that minus the chrome plate that covers the side with all the inputs/outputs. I was gifted it by a very nice family friend along with a 12" Type-R D4 in a prefab sealed enclosure of about 1.3-1.5 cu ft. I know it's not the best set up at all but it was a nice gesture and I appreciated it.
I was hoping to build a ported enclosure tuned for what SQ I can get out of the Type-R until I hooked it up and the amp was blown. I know the Type-R is a bad SQ sub, but when I show him my car and he sees me using the equipment he gave me it will make his day.
If I showed him my stereo with other equipment in it than what he gave me it would be disrespectful (if any of you know Asian culture you know the importance of respect, it would be disrespectful of me to ignore his gift and buy something else for my car) and the respect we have for each other is MUCH more important than my stereo.
Side note aside, what are my options for the amp? RF wants $130, I've contacted other places and it hasn't been any cheaper with them so I'm in a bind, what should I do? Anybody who can fix it for cheaper around here?
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any positive input. PLEASE no ALPINE = CRAP or RF *****, etc.
