Evo X Failure
After my recent problems, @Lucky 7 Custom Cycles diagnosed that my Evo X 1200.4 has failed. I know this has been a fairly common problem. My question is about the warrant process with Sounddigital. Does anyone have a contact? I purchased it from a member, so I don't have a first party receipt for this.
Would appreciate any help.

Subscribed. Let us know how it goes bro. I was just looking to upgrade to that amp, and have been on my heels since some of the issues have come up. My 800.4S EVO has been a rock solid beast, but always looking for more. Good luck.

Magloo what have you noticed about temps on that 800.4? I was tempted to get one for my rear amp but since it is in the clutch side bag I was worried about heat. One user reported that in that location his got so hot it melted the velcro adhesive off.

This is what I would do.
1. Epoxy an HDPE or acrylic plate to the bag. Thread in screw holes and use a 1/2" nylon spacer. That way the amp has air on both sides of it.
2. Mount the amp on the hinge side with a metal plate or something of that sort. Mount the plate to the hinges where the tether goes. Then use nylon spacers to mount the amp.
Velcro is destined for failure in a bag. Securing it with screws is the way to go, but you do not have to drill through the bag to accomplish it. In the bag with no air circulating, it will certainly warm up more than in the fairing where there is some air coming in.

I've got mine under the hood on my Pre-Rushmore and gosh, I've never pulled the fairing quick enough to check it after a long ride, but when I was tuning it, I didn't notice excessive heat? I wish I had more intel.

i love lots of things about them, but the sales/marketing/support team stuff is not up to snuff.
