The amp was a Brand New in the box Alpine that when he came back with and had 8ga. ground wires with 4 ga power wires, we told him then that his installation was bad and needed to be corrected he chose to drive away instead of paying $50 to have us fix it. So when he came back a month later I told him we would send the amp back to Alpine via our distributor for them to test it and fix or replace at there recomendation and he again chose not to.

To bad for your Luck but do not blame me because your friend did a shitty installation and burned up a brand new Alpine Amp.

PS Send it back to Alpine and they will probably honor the warranty
