well, it finally happened. i dont know how or why it happened, but it did. the 1500 is gone. :( . i was in my girlfriends car this afternoon, and we had the windows down just kind of cruising. we're sitting at a stop light and some dude in a escalade pulls up beside us. i had the stereo on like 15, the bass was audible, but i wasnt trying to show off. he looked over and snickered, by the way the kid looked like he was barely old enough to drive. i looked at him and with a dumbfounded look on my face like "what are snickering about?". he reached over and turned his stereo up. i could barely hear the bass over mine, kind of pathetic i thought, but he was proud of it. not liking to be outdone, especially by little rich kids who had mommy and daddy buy it for them, i turned mine up. i turned it up to 30 and turned the bass knob (remote gain) for the amp up about 3/4 of the way. i got everyones attention at the stop light for about 45 sec. then all of a sudden the bass stopped. no snap, crackle, or pop. the punk kid looked over and didnt even make an expression. the light turned green, he sped off and we headed to the stereo shop. they asked me all kinds of questions and we came to the conclusion that we didn't know what happened. they gave me a loaner amp and are going to send my amp off monday. on the plus side, the sub still plays just as loud as ever and the system didn't loose very much of the boom factor. sometimes if i didnt have bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all
