my thing DOESNT WORK:mad:

I'm sure the amp doesnt work but let me know wut u guyz think
i got the c400.4 from my local dealer shop--BRAND NEW
hooked it up yesterday, doesnt workkk:eek:

it turns the blue power light for 1/2 a second but just wont stay on, tried it on my friend's perfectly installed jl system(removed jl amp tried polk), it did the same thing, and somehow the thermal light does the same thing as the power light!

what the hell is this?????
+serial of birth certificate doesnt match amplifier
wtfff again

PLZ LET ME KNOW WHATS UP, the amp is strickly f*cked? or is it a little problem or what is it, all the wiring are GOOD

the jl system sounded perfect, once we wire the polk for mids/highs, all we hear is the w7...

    That's the advantage of buying from a dealer. In the rare event of a DOA piece they should be able to swap it out for you. Or at least trouble shoot it to figure out the problem.

    Bummer, man. I would recheck all the wiring and such, but if everything else is good, just take it back to your dealer and let him check it out.

    Good luck!

    Take it back! Don't mention the serial # or they might suspect you swapped it out.

    the fact that the serial is off is exceedingly weird... you might want to call polk BEFORE taking the unit back to your dealer...

    though i talked to them the first hour the amp was with me, (i quickly realized the serial number problem) they said they couldnt do anything but sure thing that the amp will work, cuz they dont send amplifier that doesnt work...well check this out, mine doesnt work now:cool: ....so basically they cant tell me anything bout the serial cuz I told them about it the same day I got it...

    ya today imma go check out some expert installer that I know and go see the dealer...ill let u updated...

    What shop is this? Was the amp sealed in plastic inside the box? Did it have the owner's manual and install hardware in a baggie? Any indication that the amp had been used (slight scratches, wear on the terminal screws, etc.)?

    I missed the part about mis- matched serial numbers this morning...

    i thought each amp polk sold came with a certificate with matching serial number. polk is good for its customer service. id give them a call and ask if worse comes to worse send matthew polk a letter explaning the situation.

    everything went good,:D , I checked with a very good installer, and some wires were messed up.... now the blue light turns ON and STAYS on:D , im sorry I havent replied since then... I was too busy having fun with it!!!:p
    they are powering mmc5250 in the front and mmc690 in the back, the sound is SOOO clear, naturallll and powerfull, I can see it is underated by hearing it!! no need of birth certificate anymore... haha:D but I still think that its silly what they did though..mixed the actual product and birth certificate... wtv, and yea it was an authorized dealer...
    so ya everything is good now, very nice amplifier!would recommend to anyone:D edit*also mmc5250 and mmc690!!w00t!! but be aware, the highs on the mmc690 arent as clear as the mmc5250, but its still very clear, its just that the component is alot more naturall!

    i still think Thom wants to know what dealer this is (name, city, phone #) so he can go bang some heads as to why the slip didn't match the amp...

    If ya wanted "as is" stuff you could shop the internet... for retail prices you should get retail quality service (replacement if busted, as Thom said, and helpful install advice, and stuff like that).

    well its in Canada, Quebec, Montreal! Store's name is Radio St-Hubert and phone number is (514)276-1413, this is the store where I bought it, but he gaved me another number to contact for the birth certificate problem; (514)909-0620--Jean Foteu...he's the one that orders Polk stuff I think... so ya let me know if theres anything...
