I think I had a "oh shit" moment with my new amp

if there is polarized caps the current would flow wrong way and pop them. also might screw up mosfets. im not too sure 100% how they switch in a class d.

Get a DMM and check polarity of your wires before putting that voltage to your new amp. Sounds like you basically dead shorted the electronic components most likely. How your amp fuse didnt blow... thats a mystery.

My subs are dual 1. Wired in series to 1ohm I put a dmm on them to double check and they are at 1ohm, my aq2200 was fine on them so if something was wrong with subs then that amp would of went.

Also, I don't fuse from rear battery to amp..

If you send a positive signal to a NPN transistor and if you send a negative signal to PNP transistors you're going to have a bad time.

I once did this on a simulation and just watched them all go pop pop pop pop.

It should do the same with lateral transistors that are found in D-Class amplifiers.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

If you are uncertain of what is your positive and negative for some reason, got wanna put your meter across what you think is positive and negative. make sure your meter doesnt read -13.5v or whatever

Hey! i remember when i switched my + and - on my amp before. It just blew the main power line fuse and thats it :/ i guess my mb quart amp took it like a boss. Perhaps your fuse was big enough to let enough jazz into your amp to damage it. i only had a 100 amp fuse so it popped fast.
