I'll start with the good news; I had my audio control 4.1 eq, and my new mb quart components installed today and the difference is amazing. The bad news is my blueprint 1001 that I waited like 3 weeks for is blown. I thought it was the amp first. I had been driving to work last week and just before I got there, the sub shut off. I assumed it was the amp because a few minutes later it went back on and it was fine. A couple of days later it happened again, but never came back on. The strange thing was that the power light on my amp was on, but there was no sound. As I was waiting today for my car to be finished I heard my sub come on out of nowhere. It stayed on for about 1 minute and then went off again. My installer checked the amp and said it was fine, so then he checked the sub, and when he pushed on it, it would come on. You could hear a nasty sound when he would push it back and forth after he removed it. do any of you guys know if blueprint has any warranty for their subs? The only thing is, I would rather not get another 1001, because this one didn't last, and I was only feeding it 180 watts rms. I'd be interseted in trying their 02 series if I can return this one.
