wmrcs Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I hooked up a battery charger to my trucks battery and I went outside 30 minutes later to look for my cell phone and my amp was ON and it was flickering in and out of protection mode. It was soooo hot I couldn't hold it. I quickly disconnected the remote wire thinking I was getting a signal from my head unit since I've been getting a voltage leak lately and it didn't stop. Once I stopped the charger, the amp went off. All that was connected to the amp were power and ground wires and it was still on. I turned the charger back on the the amp stayed off. WTF HAPPENED? I think it fried my amp. I'm so pissed right now. Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will77530 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 are there possible any strands from the power wire touching the remote turn on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassJunkie Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Maybe your charger is messed up. Can you check what voltage it is charging at? Only reason that I can think of to remove your battery while charging is incase of a charger problem where its sending 120v to your batt. No way I would want to disconnect 6 batteries once a week to charge my batts. Quote 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

wmrcs Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 It was charging at 12.6v. I've charged it numerous times hooked up without the frying of past amps so I don't know what happened. No magic white smoke either.

The leak is from my head units constant hot and key hot both being hooked to constant so my head unit is always drawing power.
