Default Amp Repair

Last summer I added lids and installed 8s in the bags.
I bought A Hertz HPD4 for the audio sale page. I have never been able to get it wake up the speakers (especially the 8s) no matter what configuration I used. Today I hooked up a RZ42000d to them and the woke right up. So I'm thinking that I should send the HDP4 in to get checked out. I would rather not just throw it on the shelf not knowing if it is working properly.

Where should I send it? Is there a independent shop or should I try hertz.

Suggestions Please

Hey T.
I am bringing it in to be bench tested in the morning. I will post numbers when it is done.

It is most likely me and my inability to tune things properly but want to make sure.

Hopefully it's a minor issue as that's one of my favorite amps. That 2000d is solid too. Did u have to pull the head and feet off the 2000 to get it to fit in the fairing?

i have the 2000 at a angle and it fits ok with Zip ties in multiple directions.

The amp checked out fine. It was me that is not so good. I'm going to runit into the shop and have him help me get it set correctly this time.
