TigerTony Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 When I was switching out my Amps, I was doing it fast and I didn't disconnect the Power before the ground when I was removing it and then I saw a spark. I wasn't sure if the amp is fried or not. Is there any way to Check if the amp is fried or not with out rehooking it into my wires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Nope hook it back up and see if it works still. Thats the only way.

TigerTony Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Alright. Ill have to try that sometime then. What if i were to take the cover off. Could that be a way to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Dude, just because you saw a spark doesn't mean anything is fried. Its just discharge of the amp's internal capacitor/s.

JEMT8 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Check the fuses? Those should have in theory popped before anything bad happens like that. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
