Review 2 of 11
Price Paid:
$400.00
from best buy Summary: total agreeance with rest of reviews.dsp-12 Monster bottom when it work's.
I also have a bad amp in mine now and initaially looked on line for replacement
to no avail.My regular service guy laughed at me when I asked him to fix it saying JBL would not sell him parts.Finally paid Best buy to look at the amp just to tell me what I already knew,the amp was blown and the module wasnt avaliable(I was under the strange notion that they would fix the amp but NO)
So I finally expressed my frustration to a JBL tech this evening and after about 30minutes of L.D. on my nickel he finally tipped me off at a few directions .yes, he knew the amp was a dog but he couldnt say it in a direct manner,but the obvious fix was 1-if you have a reciever that will support it (x-over)buy a power amp of some sort and bridge mono or another reciever he kept saying which may be a option for me except I am not wild about sticking a power amp since I dont have the space in my rack..2-he told me to look at mcmelectronics.com and they may have something that would work.I did find a 139.00 sub amp that I am going to look at closer which may be a good option ,specs were 240w @8ohms and 340@4,I am going to look at this hts-12 I just read about too maybe this will help,and I would be really curious if there isnt some kind of product liability there?? Strengths: earth shaking bottom ,ez to set up Weaknesses: very big drag when it craps out since all the speaker designers and marketeerers have pushed us away from speakers that have ba--s.So they kind of forced us into having to have subs cause the car speakers in my setup just wont handle the depth that my old speakers did ...
