That was funny Jalapy its not Americanbass fault that 2 friends that are pure Degenerates blew 2 amps on the same setup. HHHMMM maybe somthing wrong with the installer you think. This new deadner is great and when Jesse gets it next week with his other big package he will take more pics for you.

I think this conversation should happen through PM or outside of THIS thread.
I don't bring it up every-single-day, even though I'm one of the ones effective by a blown-up amp.

My amp was running fine for weeks ... I was running it nicely.
I had some issues with my imprint module and the positioning, so it just so happens that I was with Jalat fixing this issue and listening to music.

We had it up and thing thing you know, pop-pop-pop the thing is smoking and blowing up. Reason? The case housing the amp is in is weak and the parts inside are exposed. Vibration caused my amp to explode. A weak back plate touched the power supply.

It had nothing to do with wires crossed or a bad instillation ... I don't even think additional rubbers at the bottom of the amp would have helped this amp.
I've had other amps in the exact same position that have not blown up. The housing inside is protected better. The product inside the AB 500.1 and 400.1 are open and if you drop enough water on the amp, I'm sure that will soak inside and burn up some wires too.

If you don't like Jalat, that's cool, but don't talk about ME when you don't even know me brozonie. I sought out American Bass products after seeing the competition using it and obviously the opinions I had of the company itself ... I SOUGHT IT OUT BECAUSE I LIKED IT ...
BUT HOW CAN I LIKE SOMETHING after NO BODY ... NO ONE from "American Bass Canada" is willing to solve this simple issue. Take out the old , put in the new .

If anything, Jalat and I have jumped leaps and bounds to fix these ****ing amps in Canada, or at least talk to the right people who can make it happen. No one from American Bass has stepped up to help out ...

So, you tell me why Jalat isn't a FAN of American Bass products anymore?
Give me a ****ing break.

you know why?

1. there is no "American Bass Canada", like literally, not a single person or business or anything.

2. you got your amp used, no one made money on you. why would someone give support? after all, you didnt get the extended warranty, did you?

AB claims there's support for its competitors and its users. While I agree that my product was used, and this obviously does not entitle me to the same level of support as someone who purchased the amp used, we have gone out of our way to contact those who are with American Bass to fix the amps with no support, what-so-ever. So, new or used, that's just poor customer service, right there.

And if anything, everyone knows that a lot of these guys purchase used first but they'll be future customers buying again, but new.
Happens with decks, happens with subs, happens with amps.

If this wasn't true, I would have never purchased a 400.1, a 500.1 and try to price out NEW subs for my own vehicle. NEW

It's just pretty bad when you've got people searching for help and the company won't even lend a hand or suggestion. If they told me to deliver the amp to Ohio, guess what I'd do ... but instead, we've heard nothing.
