cant say i shocked myself yet, knock on wood lol

if you have more then 1 fuse in a amp and 1 is blown will your amp still work?

prob a dumbass question..

_{same thing kinda happend to me last month, i was tighting my negitive wire on my amp and one of the allens hit the side of my amp and sparked and smoked alittle, car was off aswell}

_{all it did was leave alittle white burn mark on the side of the amp, i got soo scared}

thats always scary...i figure that if the caps are charged up when the circuit is complete, a short in it can jack em up easy, but now i figure a few hundred amps should not blow the cap, especially on a well built amp.

lol i wish i got shocked instead of risking jacking up the amp #sacrifice yourself for your equipment

[soundstream15]

idk if 1 of my fuses are poped are not, i should prob look, i go full tilt and nothing goes into protect or shuts off, just wasnt sure so thought

i'd ask

I've touched positive to negative before, I even fried a wire while I was trying to charge my batteries. Not a smart thing to do at 3am while talking on a phone lol. Quite a scare but everything was fine, just a matter of luck If you fry ur shit or not

[Guest]

If it plays you should be fine, just watch it.and see how it acts. Always take the fuse.out.of your power line when.your doing that stuff

[TRTC360]

a friend of mine inverted the positive and negatives on his ap3000, didn't double check the wiring, turned that car on, it sparked for a good 5 seconds and the amp still worked flawlessly, i'm amazed it didn't pop the fuse or fry the board. Its been about 8 months since it happened and it's still going strong

[fox_racin4]

Not sure how his worked... Ive done that to 2 ap3ks and both fried instantly... Hooking Amps up while tired... Bad idea One was swapped pos/neg foget exactly what happend to other

[Trey_Dog650]

I reversed the pos and neg on my crunch amp. Shit as soon as I touched the pos wire to the terminal (Already had the ground hooked up) there was sparks flying. And I quickly removed the wire being fucking scared. But not realizing I was doing it wrong I tried again and again until a fuse popped. Gave up. Looked at it. Realized I was trying to switch them lol.

Worked flawlessly tho.

Also I had my ground burned up and ripped out of place. So I basically was running no ground for the amp for a few weeks before I sold it lol. Still worked flawlessly
