STEvil Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 did it really short, or just spark? If it was just a spark....

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

purplesyrup Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 But no really, does it till work or is it done for? if its not working, check your fuses, if you were lucky, you popped a fuse before any damage was done, check that, if fuse is popped replace, see if amp works, if it doesn't, you can take the back off, see if there is anything you can replace that might have blown, by re soldering a new one in, and go from there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.A.G. Audio Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 My friend put the negative into the positive and the positive into the negative on his amp and all it did was blow a fuse. We swore the thing was blown until I was like I bet the fuse under the hood is blown. And problem solved. 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...
