Well
Scored two sets of speakers and an amp for the measly sum of €18, BUT. The amp seems shot, the power light comes on, but i havent been able to make it produce any output.
And on the speaker side, i managed to procure a set of Jamos, BUT the foam surrounds on the woofers are all gone, and im not sure im up for replacing those (and the replacement part would cost more then the speakers did..), and of the other set, one has quite some water damage to the particle board box.
And i havent tested any of em, considering the amp is most likely dead...
Not quite how i envisioned a kingsday audio score to end up, im most peeved about the Jamo speakers, as they are supposed to be quite good, but currently are not in a usable state.

Sounds like you did really well Scored two sets of speakers and an amp for the measly sum of €18, BUT. The amp seems shot, the power light comes on, but i havent been able to make it produce any output.

Yeah.... Honestly i enjoyed the hunt, but coming away with essentially nothing really useful kinda sucks, knowing me i'd screw up refoaming the jamos ruining the sound, and repairing an amp is also beyond my capabilities, unless it is a simple blown fuse (which a first inspection did not suggest)Which leaves me with one set of speakers which *might* be still working, but i'd have to get a proper amp to test them
One side of me is pissed off because i didnt achieve what i set out to, the other side is like "f
k it, ive got enough on my plate without starting a restoration project for this crap" and wants to just bin the lot and chalk it up to a lesson learnedNik da Greek said:

I wouldn't mind if BUR9EQPs weren't, like, twelve quid a pop
How often do they need replacing, and how many does it take?I wouldn't mind if BUR9EQPs weren't, like, twelve quid a pop
Alfa TS plugs arent cheap, and it needs 8, but at least they last 36K/60K

Four. And every other week 
Just had to replace them in the FB, as well. Trouble is, the FD's just s
tted up its plugs so I can't get it to start so I can't diagnose why it barfed a huge gobful of oil out at Silverstone on Sunday She's been due a bit of love and TLC, I think this is her way of making sure she gets it!Edited by Nik da Greek on Wednesday 27th April 18:52

You've seen it before, watch it again. I post it almost every time Lego is mentioned.
