I’m just guessing a max. But I think generally it’s about 100 for most places to do something like this. You blew the low side inputs and some other shit, parts will be in the 35 range and with all the labor for testing and repair it adds up fast. With a junk amp like jbl just get another or a different brand.

those JBL 1200.1s once in a while can burst into flames, and usually arent worth fixing but id still look into it, they are pretty solid when working properly. Reminds me of a kid around here that was running his earthquake PHD2 Shredder at 1 ohm, it was putting out like 2600-2800 wrms but eventually let go one day, the circuit board was burnt to all hell, just no way it was ever getting fixed haha.

I took an old vintage amp of mine to Hi-Fi as well was one of the few places I could find that would touch the thing. Pricey, but I can’t argue with results still works great a few years later.
