JBL amp, non-NAV 05 Prius

jbrooke · 10-23-2008, 11:42 PM

The amplifier in my 05 prius has mysteriously fizzled out due to some kind of internal short -- not sure what happened, but some of the smoke escaped.

I'm checking all the speaker wires for shorts, but it's clear I need a new amp. Anybody have one for sale? I found one on ebay for $100, but thought I would check here before pulling the trigger on that one.

I have an almost brand new JBL amp from an '08. I also need $100 + $10 shipping. Same price but almost new and from a 'trusted' fellow Prius guy.
BTW I have about 900 positive ebay feedbacks....
Regards, Don

Thanks Don -- I'll let you know if I need to pick that up from you.

I found the toasted component and ordered a replacement...I'll see if I can repair it. I also think I figured out how I can tap into the analog input to the opamps to drive an aftermarket amp.
