Semper Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Okay, so I was finishing up my wall and I had to go to work, so i quickly grabbed me amp, put it in the back and proceeded to hook it up. Put the the ground first, then the power. Usually the power wire sparks, and it did. But it proceeded to spark as I was inserting the wire. All of a sudden I smelled the 0 gauge melting and it looked as if I soldered the tip of it. Long story short, I put the ground wire in the power socket & the power wire in the ground socket. The hifonics logo lights up, however the bass remote light doesn't come on, nor does it push any power to my subs. Lost cause, or a fixable problem? Quote New Setup; H/U; Pioneer DEH-80prs.

Semper Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 should replace the amp anyway lol, but hey, you live you learn! good time to upgrade if you did fry it though also, make sure your not overthinking it and dident turn the gain up, did that at work today Seeing as I owe my mom money & pay 400 dollars for car insurance, I don't think that's an option. Trust me, I'd like a new amp but at this point in time it isn't really an option, nor would it be a good life decision. Anyways, commencing the dump. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__3261.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__D260.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__3265.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__3264.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__3263.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/Tigroarten/S__3260.jpg I don't know exactly what I was looking for when taking pictures, I just took ones that stuck out to me the most.

PropertyCO Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Don't see any thing burned? smell for the scent of plastic and lead burning, see if you smell it by the power plugs, maybe it just fried the solder off or something stupid on the circuit board.

252chevyboyz Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) In the last picture does it look like the diode is burned up? Looks like its turned blackish and cracked. Kinda like right above the middle of the picture? Maybe a pic with a flashlight shining on that area? -James *edit* Right below where the red/black wires are connected Edited July 4, 2012 by 252chevyboyz Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hopefully all it did was fry that diode. could be a cheap and easy fix for an experienced person. Good luck man.
