Hi all, Do you have any advice on what I should do? Very Very Long story short......
2006 Charger installed with 2 Kicker L7 2 MTX Jackhammer amplifiers thats just the trunk Everything installed by circuit city, they saw me almost weekly with some kind of problem, why did I keep going back ~ all under warranty. june 10, 08
Fire started in the trunk was found to be because of faulty after market wiring. Declared a total loss by insurance - no gap coverage Stereo equipment not covered So was advised by CC Specialty Risk Services to keep all the equipment until the case is resolved. Circuit City declares bankruptcy My ins co claim is rejected by bankruptcy court I still have a garage full of burned up equip I have a 06 pontiac GTO I want it to slap tremendo What do I do?
Holy crap man, that sux, with circuit chitty out of business i don't think theres much you can do.
Theres actually a lot of ways to possibly start a fire... no fuse in the power wire being the biggest one. No fuse in the remote wire could maybe do it. Actually any wire coming loose and making a spark, even speaker wires.
Honestly, I'd sue the liquidation firm who handled CC. They've already been sued countless times by such entities as the state of Connecticut for unfair business practices, like jacking up prices, then lowering them by a fraction of the inflation amount, and claiming it's a liquidation sale.
find out who the actual installer was. take him personally to civil court for replacement of whatever wasn't covered by insurance, as well as your ins deductible and court and lawyer costs.
Funny I know exactly who it is. I dealt with him on a weekly basis something was always F*D up with the music. Non-stop! Actually everyone involved in car audio is in this city knows about the "black charger" not exactly the claim to fame I would've chosen. Anyway the guys at frys were quick to tell me where he is currently employed. I havent gone to see him yet though..... Did I mention the day b4 the fire The Jackhammer had drained my battery from the amps power wire. Anyway after I got my car jumped, started, etc. on a sunday right before closing I made it there and he said too much slack in the power wire from the amp. I said cut it he said fold it you'll get better ground. I thought Lazy but kept it to myself. Then tragedy on my way to work the next morning. After all this BS and all the other reports etc. CC Specialty Risk Services who investigates all their claims, said he can't make a determination until he can contact the installler b/c he wants to make sure its not MTX responsibility. A course the mf didnt call on my behalf b/c I had reminded mr installer that since we didnt do ppwrk every time since I was in there so much, there was only so much too actially show a lot of the problems but the installer knew everything and all lI told hiim was not to lie and keep it real if he was ever contacted about the sit. A course its guna make him look bad, he f*d up. Then of course they wouldnt even finish the investigation b.c cc couldnt pay SRS. Soooo
Lemme see if I am clever enough to post pics, I finally just figured out to respond to the posts
And I guess what I am trying to do is see if Kicker and Mtx would just replace the stuff I lost since all of it was under warranty at the time. The Amps were a week or so old and I spent like 3 grand wich cost me a $45000 beauty. Which I just finished paying on about 3 months ago
So if someone could give me step by step instructions I have all the pics. It was really a sad sit. I had just put all the finishing touches on her, pinstripe, feet, etc etc. It was the very beginning of summer, she was ready I was supposed to be famous!!!!! June 10th hello fire!
