Thewes Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) No visible damage to the amp internals/guts. It performs the same audibly, so I guess the only apparent damage would be the burn marks. Cleaned up pretty nicely, eh?

Thewes Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 What The hell did you do...?Ive never seen this happend to these Amps.... Well the radio shack fuses I put in the amp previously seemed to fucking CATCH on fire when they blow. I dont know, maybe I have a lawsuit here?

00sdime00 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I aint the smartest mothafocka in the world, but that is definitely not supposed to happen...What value fuses were you running?

Guest MegaloManiac Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 this is why you shouldnt run your amps at .5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00sdime00 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I agree...there was a shit ton of current going through there.. Quote A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.

Thewes Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) I aint the smartest mothafocka in the world, but that is definitely not supposed to happen...What value fuses were you running? 40 amp, I honestly have no idea how it happened. In the other thread where I explain the story someone had a theory that the note it hit brought it down real close to the actual impedance the amp was running at and it just drew a huge amount of current and the fuses flamed up instead of blowing. Its really amazing though, 20 minutes after they flamed I popped the gaping hole burnt fuses out and put some new ones in. Worked 100% fine and after about a week works exactly the same. Just a shame such a nice amp had to get burnt on the outside like that. Oh well. Im still going to have this sent in and clamped/etc. I want to be 100% sure it works 100% to its potential. Here are the fuses, pretty bad pic, sorry. (fourth ones in my car somewhere) Edited April 1, 2008 by Thewes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 holy shat batman. thas crazy. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Thewes Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) this is why you shouldnt run your amps at .5... Yeah or atleast without proper electrical. Despite the fact, even if the amp is 100% fine (which I'm assuming it is from the weeks worth of testing), the amp had to be well below .5 ohms. The BL coils Ive heard are like 1.5-1.7, so that would put me at what, like .35? Edited April 1, 2008 by Thewes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
