6APPEAL 31 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 Looks like it was a PITA to wrap, but all the wrinkles should come out in the shaping work. I'm also curious to see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6APPEAL 31 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 Well that sux. I can say, been there, done that, almost trashed it all after getting upset about some stupid stuff years ago. Still it doesn't look too bad, so it should be repairable. If not, pick up another LP to run the sub (of course I'm bias ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audio-Concepts 83 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 Id love to find a titanium 5002 or 8002 to match...but no money to spend. I have everything to fabricate, but now no mono amp ughhh! 1 Aaron Clinton reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6APPEAL 31 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 ...but no money to spend. Same way for me. Wife's Maxima build is constantly waiting on the budget to progress with the build. The GN is just too many $$$$'s to think about (makes my head hurt). 1 1 Aaron Clinton and Piorswguia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoothfidelity 29 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) If you don't have the money to spend to repair the amp, then sell it on ebay for parts and buy another amp such as a used Arc KS1000.1 or 1200.1. They sound just as good if not better. TRU sound is over rated to begin with and we are talking about your sub. You won't notice a difference.

Yeah I talked to TRU and its a min. of $300 to service the amp. But Im gonna eat the cost of shipping there and back which is probably close to $50. Im gonna weigh some options and decide what I want to do. Im gonna start a big build after the holidays and may just put everything up for sale so I can focus on that. Its my dream to build what Im building more than just having a stereo! 1 Aaron Clinton reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoothfidelity 29 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 You could always call Ray at TIPS/LP for the repair. He does a good job and has fair prices. TRU, as a company, thinks everything they have or do is something special that should command above market pricing which is not true. Horrible company. Not to mention, $300 for that repair is absolutely ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Audio-Concepts 83 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 yeah I could call Ray...never thought of that. Yeah they said a $300 flat rate. my concern is the copper board is what is burnt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Audio-Concepts 83 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 Talked to Ray...most likely sending the Tru in for repair as well as sending my 2.2HV in to get the special mod treatment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audio-Concepts 83 Report post Posted November 22, 2013 Big is an understatement. Long way to go. Im gonna be stripping the frame and getting it blasted and powdercoated. Then get the engine and trans set on.. Im gonna get the cab bottom finished in the time that its at powder coating. so when the frame gets back I can set the cab on it that day no worries. 100% all new hardware, bushings and mounts throughout.
