disprovable Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 So i recently bought a crescendo 2k off of the crescendo store, and when it came in and i tried to hook it up, a my cars fusible link blew. I later learned my amp turn on wire behind my headunit wasnt connected, and possibly could have touched metal. Not sure if that could have caused the fuse to burn out like stated, but im not sure what else could have. I have been scared to hook up the amp since then, due to the fusible link costing $50 from the dealership. Any suggestions as to why when the amp is hooked up and negative post on battery is reconnected that fuse blew? Also here a picture of my amplifier, probably a stupid question, but was curious where my remote turn on is? I see where it says REM but theres no input. Also, is it normal for the wording to be off on these amps? ie; the + + - - being off, and GND REM and 12V? Thank you.
Miguels Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 why is the amp fused to the factory link? you need to run a different fuse my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
betweenmatt Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 The way the labels look seem really messed up. I'd contact the place u got it before trying anything cause u might not be hooking it up right
Miguels Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 looks like that amp wasnt marked right. it supposed to look like this. i would return it just because it looks weird my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
disprovable Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Posted January 19, 2015 why is the amp fused to the factory link? you need to run a different fuse The power wire is fused with a 300 amp fuse. My cars positive terminal has a set of 4 fuses on it as well called a fusible link. It wasnt fused using this.

Well, i hooked it up how it looked, ground where the 12v is supposed to go i guess, and power where the ground should have gone >.< Had the remote wire hooked up on the far right speaker input. Could this be a cause for the short? Hahaha
SIDE SHOW Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 open the amp, I wanna see guts........... not even the speaker terminals line up. piss poor if you ask me

mnrookie Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Those labels are for a bc5500. Pay no attention to them.
SIDE SHOW Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 ^^ i'd be asking for the rest of the bc5500 then....
