Let me guess. No warranty? Sold as-is? If it smells burnt and it's not powering up, there's a good chance that it's FUBAR and you're going to be **** out of luck. Sorry to hear about that dude.

Well, you may be somewhat in luck. Ebay insures the items up to $250, minus a $25 deductable. Since it was advertized as working and it's not, you can fill out the ebay form and most likely get back most of what you paid for it.

sorry about your luck. I once bought 2 JL 10's that I thought were W6's, hell if I knew the appearance difference back then, and when I got home and saw it said W0 i was ****ing pissed. Thats why If i buy something off someone, I hear it play/work and check model numbers before I hand over the cash.

just my own story to make u feel better...

I dont know if you really want a Pioneer EQ or not, but I have two EQs that I don't use anymore. I have a 10 band Prestige with dual ilumination, sub control etc, and a radio shack model with almost the same features.
