yea ok i admit i messed up - i was measuring voltage and accidently touched two channels together and it let out a small spark... now it goes straight into protect mode - then after like ten seconds will try to turn on again and go straight back into protect ect...

voltage and wiring are both fine...

i dont know what it could of shorted.. but do you think this would possibly be worth repairing...?

=(

 
yea i figured

i know its hard to tell without looking at it knowing exactly what is wrong with it.. but do you think its worth bringing it to a shop to have fixed?

 
jbl gto 75.4II

the msrp was $450 when i got it for $180

now it goes for about $250-300 and i still cant find it for 180 new again

and the closest place jbl has listed as a ref is like 40 minutes away =(

 
remove power and ground wire then reconnect.

and also take a meter and set it to ohms and test if it is shorting out between the speaker + an -

do this with the amp off.

 
just did what ya said

reading is too low set at 200 ohms but set at 2k i get .65 at all 4 channels and 1.3 for the two bridged

the closest thing the manual says is if the light flashes every 4 seconds that means it putting out DC current... but its not every 4 seconds its a little longer...

and i called that place - they charge $50 to look at it and if they can fix it - that will go towards the final price.. but they cant gimme a final price cause they dont know exactly whats wrong with it... i just hope im not looking at like $200 - cause this should be money spent towards my new subs/amp =(

 
onega inc or something

there are others but they're all like hours away.. dont know if any local places will do it yet.. gonna ask around tomorrow

the saddest part of all is i might have to whip out my sony amp for the time being - ahhh =(
