  1. Responding to your PM...

    Everything looks fine inside the amp.

    Good work trying it in another car :) Lucky you had another one to try it on.

    You may have killed the remote circuitry in your headunit. It would have been short to ground when the amp was hooked up like that.

    Wierd though, you should have got some huge ass sparks trying to hook it up backwards. Most amps are a short circuit when connected the wrong way around. I mean yeah, you always get a couple of sparks when hooking up a big amp but this thing must have been like an arc welder...

    As a little side note, if it ever does die, send it to an amp repair specialist like db-r.com - these big amps (and the clips they hold the FETs in with) are tricky to work on and easy to fuck up :(

    Thanks man ya I am pretty sure I fried the rem to the head unit I'll find out tomorrow. I plan on just using the rem from the sound processor anyway if thats the case...

  2. Thanks chewie you were right all along man... And to everyone ya I needed help for sure putting 70 pound subs in a box and trying to mount it in 18 degee weather was horrible, I cant put blame on my friend cuz if he didnt help the box would never have gotten i the car to begin with. I'll just do all my wiring now.

  3. Guess mother fucking what!!! My other amps didnt work in my car as well :drinks: .... Thank god!!! I hooked it up to my other car which has an l7 in it and it worked fine turned it up a bit just to see how it did and ended up smoking my kicker a bit, no big deal. So it fried the rem wire. At least the amp seems fine.

  4. I work on microwaves with 4000v caps, and when they go bad, they don't spark. so a faulty cap, wont show signs of exploding like FETs would, or resistors

    I'am waiting for Boon to come in here and chime in, he will know whats up

    Okay so if it happens to be blown caps can I take it down and get it fixed at my local car audio store they claim to do amp repairs...

  5. thats what suprises me at least i was expectin to see popped caps.

    im thinkin your gettin no power back there there shoulda been some activity

    Man I dunno what is going on Im super confused which is why I posted this I cant believe nothing is burnt up I will try out this hifonics 2600 in the morning to see if im getting power if not then Im going to strip everything out. If so I guess I have to call audioque. If you think or anyone else thinks of anything post it Ima head to bed I have finals at 7 but I'll check out what everyone thinks when I get up... Thanks by the way to everyone

  6. if you have a digital multimeter on hand you can just test voltage.

    if your getting +12 outta the remote wire and the power wires then your good to go.. and youll know the problem is in your amp.

    how did you wire up your subs? maybe theres a load protect where it wont fire up if it sees a certain load under 1 ohm

    lol I knew someone was going to ask this one and I had them wired to 2 ohms

  7. do you know for a fact your getting power back there? good ground and all?

    did you upgrade the big three?

    Im running what you see in my sig ya big 3 and all. Ya im getting power back there cuz my re-q still comes on Im heading out to my other storage house to dig up another amp to test it. If it works my amp is fucked;however if it doesnt work then I have another problem....

  8. no fuses on the outside and ya I re-wired it my self I had hooked up early today so i know my wiring was correct I am wondering it he blew a fuse in the car somewhere tomorrow morning I'll try once again. I will also put it in my friends car to see if it works in his he as a sundown 3000 so the wire should be compatible...

  9. what happened was you let your friend attemp to wire up an expensive amp, and he failed misserably

    ya I know but is there a way to re-pair this or what? I have blown amps before by running them at .5 ohms but any time i have had damage there was smoke. I didnt have any. Thats why im so confused with this.

  10. My friend was wiring my amp while I was putting in my subs . He put the power in the ground terminal and the ground in the power terminal. I turned on the stereo and nothing I went to the trunk and saw what he did and disconnected it re-wired it and it didnt come on at all. Now to answer some questions before they are asked.

    1) The amp is an aq3500

    2) There was No popping sound

    3) ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE OR SMELL!

    4) The fuse to near the battery didnt blow

    5) If ANYONE needs pics of the board I will gladly take as many as you want Im staying online for a few hours so what ever you need to see I take a pic or vid just ask....

    PLEASE HELP THANKS...

  11. Ahahaha, I feel that, but no dudes mouth off to me, it's the women staring down my wife! She's not even African American, she's belizian. I just figured it's cuz they want me, ugly fat bitches; FUCK THAT.

    Hey maybe that's the problem, those dudes just want to get you "on the down low"!!!!! Hahahha!!!!! Ok really just playin

    FUCK THAT!!!!!!

    Shit the dudeS never say anything to me they ask my girl why she is with a white dude. Fuckin punks FUCK THAT!!!

  12. Warranties are there to cover issues with OEM parts that have been installed by Infiniti employees.. They will cover if there is a mistake made by an employee or by an OEM part they make, not aftermarket parts or others tearing the car apart. They can't account for the build quality of the part or if it will run properly on their vehicle and they can't account for someone(not saying u will) ripping apart whatever piece and breaking it. The majority of people in that situation would say something broke with that part they were working on and Infiniti then stands to lose money because of it. Hopefully that explains it all for ya.

    I fully understand what your saying and agree with their logic, however I was just a bit upset having spent 50 grand with them already. No big deal though they are doing what they are supposed I just over reacted for nothing this was a dumb ass post sorry guys...

  13. I stopped by the infiniti dealership today because in order to get the wall for my car I would have to pull out the panels for the side air bags and some other stuff. They said any removal of the bolts with a mark would void my warrenty. I get my car serviced every 2 months so they would eventually see it so fuck there goes that plan I pretty much am an epic failure. Gotta do a new build with just a box now.
