PITCHER18 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 PLEASE HELP... I had a metal chair in the trunk of my car which touched the Subwoofer. Smoke rose from right front dash which I assumed was the amplifier. The rear speakers (including sub) no longer worked but, the head unit and front speakers worked. I installed the re-fabricated amp which I purchased from a creditable lexus dealership. Now, front and rear speakers work but, no sound from sub. Any suggestions would truely help? Thank you for taking the time to help a frustrated LEXUS owner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITCHER18 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thank you Stylz and Sakataj... Just got back from having the wires and sub tested at an audio shop. It turns out the wires are fine but, the Sub blew also with the amp. What a bummer. I just ordered a new sub from the dealership for about $180...not bad. Also, FYI...if anyone who reads this finds they have the same problem, there are dealerships who will sell re-furbished amps and other electronic products for an exchange of the core and a cheap price. I was able to purchase the amp for $177 which is much much cheaper than any other place i could find. I think the lowest i was quoted by other dealerships was around $450. Thousand Oaks Lexus in california is one of those who sells re-furbished with a one year warranty. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
