nacho Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 So this is kind of a weird one. I recently upgraded my power cable and did the big 3 on my car 1/0 ofc. Before it was 1/0 guage but not ofc. Everything seemed fine. After I believe 3 days of running my system my amp has gone into protect and there is a plastic burning smell. I unhooked speaker cables and rca and I even put the old power cable back on and it is still in protect. I have had this amp and subs for over 2 years with no issue. After doin the big 3 my car voltage stays above 14 volts. Amp is a hifonics brutus mono 2000w and i have 2 p3 fosgate 12's. Any help is appreciated.

8ten8 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 If the warranty is no longer valid, you could open the amp and check for something burnt/melted. Check all your connections for the same, grounds etc. Might be the amp thoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacho Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I checked my grounds all at .01ish on ohm meter. I guess I'm just curious why after the big 3 the amp would fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Could be coincidence man. You havent *seemingly* done anything wrong, but things just break sometimes. If you wanna open the back and post pics of the guts, we can help identify shat what section of the amp blew and that may give an indication if its your fault or not.

AlpineNut Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I hate to say it, but the picture is 2 dark, there needs to be a flash for the one parts most of us look at to see that could of gone bad. But if my eyes do not deceive me there looks to be a problem by the one torroid, the wire tie i see some black mass by the transistor 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
