Guest Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 possibly. where is it bolted to? is the paint sanded off?
SkateMike519 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Posted June 2, 2012 It is grounded to sheet metal inside the trunk. It seems to be a decent thickness of sheet metal. Paint not sanded. Grr..Maybe I just fucked up. Still under warranty though.. 2 - Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 (Box tuned to 34 hrz) 1 - RF t1500.1bdcp 1 - RF t400.4 2 - JL Audio C5 5 1/4 in front doors 2 - JL Audio C5 570 in rear deck 2 - JL Audio ZR100 in front pillars 1 - Kenwood ExCelon HU
SkateMike519 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Posted June 2, 2012 Currently in the process of rewiring the grounds. I will update ya'll later. I already made arrangements to send back the amp. I just want to know if I do get it working, should I just keep it? It smoked a bit but it wasn't insane amounts of smoke. 2 - Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 (Box tuned to 34 hrz) 1 - RF t1500.1bdcp 1 - RF t400.4 2 - JL Audio C5 5 1/4 in front doors 2 - JL Audio C5 570 in rear deck 2 - JL Audio ZR100 in front pillars 1 - Kenwood ExCelon HU

sprkn_ranger Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 If you already made arrangements then just send it back, there still may have been something wrong with the amp. But the ground should be fixed by sanding it to bare metal. Check out my build log! 4 Havocs in a blowthrough http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187506-sprkn-rangers-blowthrough-build/

Rebel4055 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Just saying now that with a 2 gauge ground and a improper ground location more than likely contributed to it. Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/

SkateMike519 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Posted June 2, 2012 Nah wiring was all exact. 99% sure subs wired parallel to get 1 ohm out of amp. Even if something was wrong with the sub wiring, it wouldn't cause the amp to start smoking in about 2 mins of being on. Would it? The subs never moved once. 2 - Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 (Box tuned to 34 hrz) 1 - RF t1500.1bdcp 1 - RF t400.4 2 - JL Audio C5 5 1/4 in front doors 2 - JL Audio C5 570 in rear deck 2 - JL Audio ZR100 in front pillars 1 - Kenwood ExCelon HU
bassface Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 That sucks man. Seems like you shorted something, but if you say you didnt then must be a bad amp.
