<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10160/mcintosh1.jpg"></center><p>finally got my amp to look how i wanted it too today, and it came out pretty damn good, except for one thing. in the midst of the install, the amp had +,-, and remote hooked up as well as the speakers, and i turned on the radio just to make sure the amp would go on, perfect, went right on like it is supposed to. so i then hooked up the rca's, and finished what i had to do with the whole setup, then went to fire her up again, heard a thump, thump thump thump from the speakers and that was it, the amp went up into smoke. all i can say is that i have had the absolute worst luck with this car than i have ever had with anything before in my life. since i got the car in september, i have been hit 3 times, bent a wheel due to bricks in the middle of the f*cking highway, and now blew up my $4000 McIntosh amp. hopefully this baby can be repaired, seeing that i paid so much for the amp i might as well pay for the repair, do you think it can be repaired? oh by the way, this amp has been in the car for a few months already with no problems at all, just a different mounting place. oh well, i guess i deserve it.

I got that thump sound once. It's from a short somewhere. My amp was fine after i fixed it tho.

I've never dealt with their car stuff but if they are half as good as their home stereo amps,they gotta be awesome.

Nice Amp

You should have no problem getting it fixed. I know of Mac amps (home audio) that have been working for over 20 years now.

I would be carfull though on who you get to fix it. If you live in Ny I would send it directly to McIntosh. They are in Binghamton.

I rep the home audio line in NYC.

I called McIntosh today and they said it would be no problem to fix, and if they cant, they will probably send me a new one. all i have to do is send it to their repair shop in New Jersey. The nice lady told me that they would probable take a look at it as soon as they get it and do it right away. I really do love the service you get when you buy a qualitly product.
