[Is my Amp blown?]

without a way to charge the battery in your "bookbag" you will be unable to play your setup for very long periods of time at a comfortable listening volume IMO.

if you like the idea, just run with it. theres nothing "wrong" about it if your curious, other than your battery might not last long, and you better make sure positive and negative dont touch.

but other than that, continue with the creativity, if you have an issue, post about it.

thanks. yeah i found some 12v battery charger that is for it. ill post pics of it and a vid when im done

absolute best thing for you to do is get pics of the inside of the amp and post it up for us to see.

cause right now, all i keep thinking is blown.

although, God has given you a second chance to buy another amp.

i'll piggyback off of what Kranny said. and that is, if your hooking it up normally, and the fuse is blowing, the amp has an internal issue which is beyond a normal persons experience, in which case you can either try sending it in for amp repair somewhere, or buy another amp.

ok thanks ill just buy another. im working on my own project with an 8" pyle subwoofer and a pioneer shallow enclosure in a bookbag played through ipod. but i messed up switching the wires around. ^^^^^^ Good idea? XD

what if i hook up a 12v 7.8ah battery too a new one of them and the amp is only 7.5a would it eventually due damage to it?

any amp will work when you put in a bigger fuse than it came with. but you run the risk of damaging the amp when playing music loudly. if the amp starts to exceed its capacity, it can blow the fuses, which is a good thing. protects the amp. but bigger fuses wont blow when the amp starts to get over driven, causing possibly harm to the amp.

if the amp blows fuses, either correct sized or larger, then the amp itself is done for. its rare for an amp to be in perfect working order after having its power and ground switched by accident.

thanks

@ SD - x a trillion... sorry man... you could open it up, get a nice smell, and visually look at the heap inside..... its not looking good my friend...

i opened it it smells clean but smells like a cercit board but nothing is burnt or anything. this one thing with three prongs and is black and small has some gunk on it but idk if thats sumthing

[Is my Amp blown?]

if i get the right fuse and put it in and wire it correctly should it not blow the fuse? or is amp fucked bc when i put a bigger fuse in it blew it too

[Is my Amp blown?]

but what i did was once i blew the fused when i wired it bacwards i put in a higher fuse and then lower fuse in when i wired it correctly and they blew

[Is my Amp blown?]

if i put a higher amp fuse in there and it blows too whats wrong?
