I suppose that’s an option but I’d much rather have XiTone do the right thing.
From what I’ve read on the thread I wish you best luck.

Yeah, I know. It’s Fantasy Island thinking.From what I’ve read on the thread I wish you best luck.
Will who not sell me the amp?Will they not sell you the amp?
What do they owe you? Their warranty is to Xitone. Xitone’s warranty is to you.The thing that chaps my butt is that Dayton Audio is local to me and they won't do anything to help me out.
No shit. That would be great if XiTone actually would answer messages and honor their warranty.What do they owe you? Their warranty is to Xitone. Xitone’s warranty is to you.
Understood. I'd feel the same way.I still don’t have to be happy about the situation. And yes it still chaps my ass.
Irrelevant.Satisfied?
Sorry to hear that. That truly sucks.I went ahead and submitted a paypal case since it is coming up on 1 year since I ordered my cab and Mick is no longer responding to my emails.
According to their TOS, you can only receive a refund if it is posted in 180 days, but they let me open it based on my payment to Mick so I guess I will see what happens.
EDIT: They denied it...guess it's time to see if I can contact my bank.
Dayton. The amp probably costs $100 or $200 if I had to guess. It’d get you going.Will who not sell me the amp?

I realize Xitone should honor the warranty but if he’s not answering emails or phone calls, he’s not going to honor a warranty.
Your guess is wrong. It’s more like $ 373.60 after tax. I bought one. I still don’t have to be happy about. It turned my $900 speaker into a $1273.60 speaker.Dayton. The amp probably costs $100 or $200 if I had to guess. It’d get you going.

It sucks getting burned but it happens. And you gotta live so there’s your speaker back in action. I feel for you.
What speaker is loaded in yours? I’ve been thinking about a lighter carry, and so far the plan is to basically build a Xitone wedge with an Icepower board and passive cross over. The specs say Eminence coaxial and horn which is what I want to use. He’s using a Celestion too but not in the wedges. It says Xitone has a custom DSP setup in the amp. Will you be able to copy it into the new amp?
I've installed the replacement amp and it appears to be working fine. I looked at the configuration with their app and decided just to use the default flat setting rather than change anything. It sounds fine to me.I'd guess the OEM version of the Dayton amp, also found in my Xitone 1x10, has an internal header exposing a USB port for programming. I've never looked, but bet you dollars to donuts.
For those that asked: The speaker is an Eminence coaxial
Thanks. Yes, it is the wedge with the grill cloth front.Sweet. You have a wedge I take it. I wonder if he’s using the F12 in the upright cabs. Those speakers are too deep to fit in a wedge. I’m running a F12 cab and I like it a lot. Happy to hear you’re back in business!
Cool, good to know. The USB header is likely standard, I'd also guess the driver and s/w to access the DSP settings would be the same across their products. I'm sure they bought a canned USB interface and whipped up the bare minimum stack support, then copied and pasted across models...testified to by the lack of WHQL driver signing.I've installed the replacement amp and it appears to be working fine.

I can confirm that there is a header internal to the OEM amp for programming. Unfortunately it takes a special cable to be able to use it.
