soundstream15 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Got my amp today, it has dual inputs and I was hooking it up and I started not to pay attention, well I went to put my power wire into the ground, it sparked and I took it off and was worried well got it all hooked it and it powered on and worked for a few mins, it stopped working so opened trunk and it was pouring out smoke and I seen some fire=/ Did I cause this?
OrionStang Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Most likely. What amp is it? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
thefourth Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 You were wiring it with the batteries connected? Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
soundstream15 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Posted June 18, 2014 Ct sounds 3000.1 my ct 2500 lasted 10 min and basically same thing happened, I believe something was wrong with that. This could be the same or I did this myself =( Both amps went in the power supply section. If I caused this then no prob bc idk what else it could be
soundstream15 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Posted June 18, 2014 Yes batteries connected, did it with other amps and no issues so I didn't think anything of it
OrionStang Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 I know CT is lenient about warranty stuff, don't know about user error though. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
soundstream15 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Posted June 18, 2014 Coleman is shipping me one tomorrow morning, he has been great but it scares me that 2 amps have failed, could I have caused this one? Amp is mounted on box but with rubber feet

crunkjuice1 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 pay attention do the power connections first THEN the grounds last. Once sucks but after that if you still putting them in backwards it clearly your fault.
