Afficionado Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I had subs running and working completely normal in my car. I sold them to a friend, we hooked them up in his truck and before even playing they went up in smoke. I checked everything i can think of. my only explanation is that the amp is bad...opinions? also, one side of the speaker terminals would spark when a wire touched it....what could possibly make it do this? a short on the board? If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

SnowDrifter Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 One other thing... You said the speaker terminal sparked. It's bad practice to tweak with any "live wire" Turn off the car, then play with your wiring. I'm not sure if that played a role in this or not, but it's just something to know. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
