Update - Before SSHS13, I had The Mark in for service at Aric's shop. The stereo system was working great when I dropped the car off, but when I took delivery the Friday night before the shootout, I no longer had "bump" :frown:.
Mike (Tixer) and I tried to see if there was a fuse or wire loose at the track, but it was decided during the shootout is not the time or place to be trying to figure it out. Thanks again Mike, for the help!
I had dropped The Mark off at Aric's this past Wednesday, for them to take back their fuel rail pressure gauge quick release, and to see if the sub amp could be saved. Ryan has background as a stereo installer, and he said there was power up to the amp, and the remote switch from the head unit was working. He also pinged the subs, and they were fine also. His conclusion was the amp is dead.
I picked The Mark up yesterday before lunch, and took it back to the stereo shop that did the install. They did the same tests, and came to the same conclusion.
This shop sells JL & Memphis as their high end stuff, and wanted to sell me a very nice JL 1000 watt amp, that honestly, would be more show than anything, since I do not go to sound competitions, or try to shake the earth with bass.
They had a display set-up of Sony gear. The amp is a
GS series Class-D Subwoofer Amplifier XM-GS100. I asked the installer if that would work with the two 12's in the trunk, and he said yes. Better yet, this amp has a 3 year warranty
So for $243 out the door (free installation), The Mark has bump again
