Carver amp dead - now what?

[marcusford]

Hi folks

My Carver DSp amp in my 04 Z4 got damaged due to water egress in the boot. The amp was sent away for repair down to Colin in Basingstoke, but despite his efforts the amp is not working.

I am based in Scotland, can any suggest the cheapest way through this problem. Are there any good specialists in Scotland who may be able to undertake a repair\refit?

I am not an audiophile so am not looking for high end solution just a good working sound system. I am also not a techno wizard so am unable to do major surgery - just day surgery options please!

I did see on the forum a suggestion to "At the most basic, you could remove the factory amp and run everything off the head unit (just wire the "in and out" of the amp together so the speakers are tied directly to the head unit)" . Does anyone have thoughts on this and in layman's terms if possible how do I do this?

From what I can see failing this option I will need to replace the whole system, speakers and all! I am assuming this will be around £500 not sure if there is a cheaper option?

Any helps with this much appreciated

Ta
