Hey if anyone here is interested, I am in the process of resolving that guy screwing me out of my money. Here is a link to the forum that I posted on.

Just so you know, whatever happens on this forum, don't ever buy from him.

Thanks,

Thanks guys. The way I knew the capacitor was broken was it had a huge dent in it. I don't know what that will do but I was advised not to use it.

u can use the chip a cap usually comes with to charge it and use a volt meter to see if it holds a charge or if it is screwed. But thats beside the point, man that sucks craig good luck with that. Is he even on this forum?

best advice i guess is to get pics before you get stuff shipped, it's always best to see the gear your gonna buy. Also check his references, make sure their just not his friends that live near him so he can have lots of feedback.

Ya it is really tough. The hard part is I saw pics of everything before buying except the cap. He did have a few references so I am still kindof confused as to why he is doing this but I have been told that the references he has are only satisfied because he stole the things he sold them from his mother's car stereo shop.

He does not come on this forum, but I figured that you all go on others as well. If he posts on sounddomain and you missed my post there about him being a scammer then this can prevent you from dealing with him.

Thanks for your support everyone. As for Gilligans Hitch, do you have any more of those amps? Broken or not? Also I read the ebay auction and it said that you had a birth sheet. How much power did that thing do at 1 ohm and 2 ohm if you remember?

I might be getting an amp out of this, and the guy called my hours lastnight looking for me but I was at work.

I think things might work out afterall, but time will \tell.

Thanks,
Craig G
