So I'm in the possession of a broken JL 300/4. I took it to a shop (Autotronics in Mississauga) to get tested and they told me "there is a protection circuit on the amp, as well as two fuses, both of which are blown/damaged". The repair cost - $160 CAD....

The question is, do you think this is a reasonable cost? Should I take this thing to another shop (I don't really want to bother, but this seems a little high). A fuse is a fuse... but the protection circuit I know nothing about.. what do you guys think?

Thanks for any help.

A shop I dealt with once quoted me $100.00 to solder a gound wire onto a circut board.I think $160.00 sounds ok!

Id send it into JLs repair depot for the best service.... which is where I think it's going to end up anyway...

reason I think that is it sounds like the guy has no idea what he's talking about and it sort of sounds like he just said $160 without even opening it up [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] ???

Parts for that amp could range from $15 or 20 to upwords of $100 by the time you pay shipping... so I think $160 COULD be reasonable but Id probably send it in or find an actual electronics repair shop...

I dropped my 300/4 of at Radioactive in burlington. and 150 later i had a brand new amp. They sent mine into JL AUDIO and they sent a new one back. Sweet deal.
