Absolutely, but that doesnt justify lying on the boards. He lied to me several times during the transaction, during the initial auction, and now to you. He chose DHL as the shipping company because "they were the cheapest and i've gotten stuff from them before and everything was fine." I tell him I am still waiting for a tracking number on the package before I send him the final payment and he asks "what is your deal??." The tracking number that he sends me, finally, doesn't work. After I bitched him out for a while, he finally sends me a tracking number 2 hours before they attempted delivery. The package I got was beat up and taped to hell, there was a large hole in the side and it looked like it had been used for shipping several times.

When I attatched the power cable the amp sparked on the terminal and blew the fuse. We got another one to be sure, this time it didnt blow but the power didnt turn on. As soon as I took off the power cable, sparked again. The ground was fine, and properly tested. And as far as I know about power cabling, the amp should only pull through as much power as it can handle. Simply putting a 60amp fuse in the way does not mean its going to pull in 60 amps. The fact that it blew the fuse shows it was pulling in way more and would have blown a 30 or 15 amp fuse as well. The amp also has fuse protection on the unit. That fuse never blew. The shop I took it to suspected a short in the power terminal. They saw my wiring and I explained everything to them, sending too much power to the amp was never brought up in the conversation.

When I asked Jnutz about this, he replied by making this thread. This is what I mean


The new amp I have in the system is comparible in every way to the amp he sold me, just a different company. There is no reason why the new amp should work perfectly fine with the system and this one shouldn't, and given the relationship with the selling process I had with him, I had every reason to believe the fault to be (and still do) in his amp and not on my end.

Like I said before though, this thread served no purpose other than to attack my credibility and definetly did not need to be created.
