1-12-t1 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 just finished my wall, 30 hours in last 3 days and i go to turn my car on... and my amp went up in smoke immediately after my deck turned on. i have 500ah in batts and immediately i could see 2 output wires touching. would that alone do all of this to my amp? music wasnt even on yet just had the deck turned on. what are your thoughts?

Zapanater Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yep. Toasted some mosfets. Instant overheat. One possibility anyhow. Some of the protection features for some brands aren't the greatest. What kind of amp? Quote 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Guest Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 ^^ yeah. with those two speaker wires touching, you basically were short circuiting your amp. what kind of amp is it? the protection circuit should've caught that immediately, but some brands dont react as fast as others.

Hotdog Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) and what kind of mods did you do on the amp you just reminded me i modded it. the one rule of the modd was not to let outputs touch...

1-12-t1 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 its a 1501d mtx... and i used to burp it at low ohm so i took out the protection... i remember the one rule was to not let the outputs touch... right as i got wind of that i instantly remembered. how much you think the repair will be? theres soot (black powder) around 2 white (transformoers? maybe? their white) and 1 black circuit. is it worth repairin? its probly 2.2krms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB18VFL Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 theres no way that amp does 2.2krms. no use getting it repaired. IMO mtx is stupid and overrated.

bassface Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 You could always take it in and see what it would cost to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
