Glenn you have to be specific.
Spare parts - what part(s), how old is your amp, is it warranty or purchase.
Product support - who have you tried to contact, by what method - email,
phone, how many times, any reply.
Any statement without supporting details has little value. Your problem
could be simple miscommunication. There is usually two sides to each story.

Hello Guys,
Emtron amplifiers...Well, good luck.
Product support is non existent, as are spare parts.
If you want more info, email me direct.
