Nick- Do you know of any shops in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area that can repair a 20.1 amp? I would prefer to send it to you as no one knows them better than you. I sent you a few emails but just in case you didn't get them can you reply back to brandon.nicholson(at)dot(dot)gov. I'm not for sure what happened this time. It looks as if the power supply may have went out again as the same pieces on the outside edge are burnt. Before I installed the amp this time I had all the wiring re-done professionally. I'm dying without my baby lol. Bass is my Anti-Drug lol. I just received my tax check so repair money is sitting and waiting. Thanks

Okay I just received my Mag and had some questions about best practices as far as setup goes. I have a 20.1 pushing the Mag so there is no lack in power. My question is in regards to the wiring and getting the Mag to the lowest impedance possible for more power. From reading I know the Mags are Dual 2 Ohm so how can I lower this? Currently I have the Mag wired as such....please tell me if my thinking is correct (we are talking about one sub here): Jumped a wire from positive terminal to positive terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal of the external connector. Jumped a wire from negative terminal to negative terminal on the speaker to the negative terminal of the external connector. Then I connect the positive side to the positive on one channel and the negative on the other channel, in an attempt to bridge my 20.1 amp. So with this setup what impendance am I currently running at? Anyone have any recommended setup or amp settings to compliment the Mag? TIA

To be honest and if I understand you correctly that is how I have it connected. ___ ___ ___ ___ /_+_/ /_-_/ /_+_/ /_-_/ |______________| Sorry for my ignorance but this is my first big system and I am used to bridging all my amps that I've had in the past so it was only natural for me. So I will adjust how I have the speakers connected to the amp. With the speaker wired in Parallel does it drop it down to 1 Ohm? Also I am hooking this up in a 03 Audi and with those models if you run it off the stock HU you have to tap into the factory amp for a low level output. My question is what is the best solution so I can get the best sound possible? All the tuts that I have read from the "Car" forums say to cut a RCA cable in half. Splice down to the +/- wires. Tap those to the low level signal wires/earth ground and then connect the other end to the RCA inputs of the amp. I don't think this is safe on the amp and feels like it is Jerry rigged to me. Sorry if anyone on the boards name is Jerry lol. Any suggestions? TIA

Awesome! Let me know what the damage is once you have a chance to take a look at everything! Thanks again! Brandon

I just mailed my 20.1 amp off to ya today to have it repaired after it was shorted out. Hopefully not to much damage was caused. A few of the prong pieces on the outside edge of the board were fried so I don't know whats involved in replacing them but can't wait to get this baby back in my car. My brother ran the amp wire under my car and the wire rubbed and shorted out on my frame and in turned shorted out the amp. Work you magic please! Thanks Just wondering if you could update me here or cell Thanks Brandon

sorry wasn't thinking! thanks!
