If you had it done, who did it, how was the quality and what was the cost?

I just got an email from them. $115 exchange, which is pretty darn good IMO.

EDIT-I see you got a price of $75. Was that recently?

Yes.  Was recently.  Maybe 3-4 months ago.  I didn't do an exchange.  I wanted mine back as it was essentially perfect except non-working.  He was pretty quick on fixing mine.  I just live up the road from him in Chattanooga.  Was funny finding him in Huntsville, AL since my car came from there.  Was sold by Tait's Huntsville Dodge.  And I actually worked there for 6 years for Sperry Rand.  Chrysler until recently had a whole electronics division in Huntsville that did their radios as well as production line test equipment.  Only lasted a few years after the Germans took over Chrysler.  But I guess if the Germans hadn't taken Chrysler over, it would have gone under and I wouldn't have my 2005 Dodge Ram hemi truck.  Or be anxiously waiting on the debut of the new Challenger.  Long live MOPAR.

PS------the reference to turnswitch------they are the ones I got my new 4X10 inch, 8-ohm speaker from.  Real nice guy too.  In the midwest, don't recall where.

I didn't get any rebuilt service ( yet ) from they, but got a great help and attention with some diagrams that I still don't know if will work to repair mine, but that's some that not anybody do
