Just want to say Charger Charger who is fatboy got my amp on a Friday, fixed it and it was on my door step by Tuesday.

Works perfect and cost 15.00 total which covered shipping back to me and parts to fix it.

If I need an amp I will for sure buy from them. Great products and service.

Just wanted to tell you all that.

Thanks,
AP

Wow, all that drama and the problem was pinpointed in the first three posts. And it was fixed even faster.
