Alright heres my deal. A cell went out in my freakin battery took my cd player highs amp and 1 channel of my lows amp with it...talk about a shitty day. I got a new deck new highs amp. But now im looking for lows and dont wanna spend a ton of money on what i need..that sucks because my sucks are 1400watts peak 750rms. So i found a diesel audio amp 1100watts rms for 100bucks...does anyone know about them? is it worth trying? thanks.



(also should i put a fuse on my ground? notice my lows and highs amp ground connect was blown out after the cell went bad)

 

Sure and i just so happen to have ground fuses in stock 19.99

 

btw i was just kidding completely useless

 

Ground fuse? There would be absoulutely no reason to do that-I have NEVER seen one installed at any level. Your scenario actually sounds like the car was jumped and cables were connected in reverse. I have also seen that type thing happen when a car is hit by lightning (lightning does funny things to mediocre grounds).

Diesel products? Maybe one step above flea-market specials (ie: Boss, Pyramid, etc)--MAYBE. Even one of my main electronics distributors steers all his accounts away from their products. He told me a while back that the DOA ratio is almost 30% (meaning 3 out of 10 Diesel products are returned defective out of the box)!

You may be better off purchasing a used amp from a reputable TR member or reputable pawn shop if that is all you can afford. Used amps are usually trouble though (there was a reason that it is no longer in someones car...)

 

i figured a ground fuse would be useless just thought id through it out there.....thanks for the input i think i will start looking for another amp on here..the digital audio was a once in a lyfe time find 60 bucks for 4000watts peak 2000watts rms 1 ohm stable im sad now

 

Hey I have never personally used Diesel Amps but there is a pretty long standing Shop over here in Pinellas that has been using Diesel for quite a few years as there entry level amps (Radioactive / Custom Edge Audio) and the owner never once had anything bad to say about the line that I heard.

Now as far as used amps unless you are buying it from either a reputable shop that took it out of the persons car themselves and tested it while still in the car or a reputable person then I would not recomend it because like MCOR said there is probably a reason why it is no longer in the persons car.

 

i know of a few people running some diesel amps and subs. havent had any probs yet and it gets the job done pretty well for the price...
