[QUOTE="944g37, post: 7247825, member: 604313"] This is my set up but it is unimportant in this question. [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/385439-94-mitsu-eclipse-sx12-2-0-cu.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/385439-94-mitsu-eclipse-sx12-2-0-cu.html[/URL] I bought my RE SX 12 more than 2 years ago and I ALWAYS play it hard, recently it started quitting. It would play fine for 3 days then stop mid song and not work for a half hour then play fine for another three days. I removed it from the box and looked it over, nothing looked or smelled damaged.
