Got Burned

Stocklook · December 21, 2005

Here is what happend, I was just going to trade for the Alpine amp because I've heard good things about them and just get another one to run my system.

This is from jschaff

I am in Dallas also and I have 2 amps to choose from for trade an Alpine and a Kenwood. Let me know I will take it off your hands asap.

Jared

What is included with the intake..is it missing any parts? The amp is a 2 channel 160 watt and the kenwood is 300 watt.

Hey that works for me..I will gladly meet you in Irving tomorrow just give me a time and place, I am back from school so my day is open. My number is 972-***-**** and I'll bring both amps with me.

Jared

we made the trade, told him a basic way to install it, he put the amp with wire rolled up on it in the back of my truck, and when I got home it was a cheap rockford 160a amp (eb*y $10.00)

I know, I know, my falt

Where I'm from your WORD square look in the eye and a hand shake was all you needed.

If I knew this would have happend I would have just gave the intake to some kid that couldn't aford one.

It just ticks me off that there are people out there like this

Hunt him down and KILL him! Actually have you tried contacting him and confronting him? I would contact him and give him 3 choices. Either 1 return the intake or 2 give you the correct amp or 3 ask him what hospital he prefers to be admitted to. Things like this really burn my ass. You try to be nice and honest and some skank ripps you off. Well sorry you got ripped off.

About 20 years ago I would have, I don't have the time to waste

but now I've learned to cut my losses and go on. Especially on things that is not worth the trouble. he knows what he did. (And now I wonder if the amp even works)

And I firmly belive what goes around come around.

jschaff, if you're reading this MARRY CHRISTMAS hope you like the intake.

Ah man, that just sucks. It just goes to show you that you can't trust anybody these days. Your response is perfect.

Well........... Had it checked and it does not work, shuts off after a few seconds. also it is a remanufactured or repaired amp, the Void stickers on the back have cut and new ones put back on. so I opened it and saw some burn marks and a very poor sodering job.

sooooooooo trash. it wouldn't even make a good paper weight

Good thing I'm getting a SMALL Bonus this year $100.00 I can probably trust Joe Eb*y better than this Thief

Check this out he posted this on another site:

HA! You got screwed..thats funny you are offering the intake for 75 and I gave you the wiring kit, worth about 50 and the amp which is ebay value of 50. So your wrong, I got screwed if anyone.

Here is a list of amps similar and the same on ebay..thanks but try again

GOT MAJOR SCREWED ALPINE AND ROCKFORD ARE NOT THE SAME, had the amp checked and it shut off after a few sec's and also the amp is a re-man the void stickers on the back have been cut and new ones put back on.

Soooooooo.. he got screwed

"SO YES I GOT SCREWED" ON A 5YR OLD AMP THAT DOESN"T WORK AND YES YOU CAN BUY ONE ON EB*Y FOR $10.00

Those e-bay links don't work.

Personally I'd take a half-dead Rockford over Alpine any day... Ihave that same amp since they first came out and it's still running like a champ

Yup, the Fosgate amp I've got in my Blazer has been in there almost 10 years.
