fall cleaning

so i was going through my basement and i found 2 of my older amps that i have blown. 1 is a kicker 600.1 and the other is a rockford fosgate punch that says 1500watts. i had the kicker running for a long time then one day smoke came out of it and it no longer worked. a few days later i hooked the RF amp up and smoke instantly came out of it so i shut it off and they have both been in my basement ever since. about a year ago. does anyone have use for these? not sure but i hate to just through away equipment, i feel guilty. so lemme know.

sell that shiet on ebay, if the buyer says it dont work, just tell them they wired it up wrong, and they blew it.

thats what stupidity gets for buying an amp on ebay

F'ucking weak, dude.


Just get a repair quote, see what they are generally going for on eBay, and see if you wind up in the black on the sale. OR you could simply set the reserve price at +20$ of the repair cost for each of the amp, so you at least make twenty bucks per.

here are pics:



right next to the watts it says 501s

the kicker has **** on it because i was attempting to use foam in my rear deck and just forgot there were gaping holes and alot of it fell through. got as much off as possible. it did not affect the amp because i ran it for months afterwards and it turned out my subs were wired wrong.

Whoa....
I was ready to buy a Kicker 600.1 for my Atlas...and then I talked to Chad (The Owner of Acendent Audio) and he said that amp blew a few Atlases. So I backed off, and went with my Profile.
