jizzybizzy Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 so i kinda disappeared for a bit (im sure no one really noticed/cared) becuase i had finals and shit and now im FINALLY DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL!! im happy. no more bullshit. or so i thought.... now today we went to graduation practice.. and everything is all good..boring shit blah blah... we're done i start to drive home.... i smell this scent... like something's burning.... then my shit turns off.. and im like shit... im in trouble .. did i blow my subs? then i thought no... they would still be bumpin a little... and then i thought i prob popped my amp.. damnit...so not really worried i drive home (it was less than 2 min til i would be home) i get home and i checked all my wires... resecured the wires and shit ... evrything is in place.. i checked tthe subs... they're cool.. then i turn my car back on to see if it would bump.. and i smell this burning shit again.... and im like damn what the fuck is burning? i open my trunk... lift up the carpet... and my wires are fucking melted together and a flame sparks up and catches my carpet on fire real quick and goes out... so here's the damage... nothing much... but im still pissed that i burned my shit... i guess thats what happens when you take shortcuts and use improper sized wiring... i was running 8g when they recommended 4g.... all you noobs out there DONT TAKE SHORTCUTS.. get the job done right.... and do it well...

jizzybizzy Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Was the wire properly fused? i believe so ... i think the amp just got too hot and in return the wires got hot.. and they were all touching so they melted Quote you ain't been bizzy til you've been wit jizzy.

Chris Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Oh shit! I'm glad it wasn't any worse man! Yeah, it always better to use bigger than required. If you run 1/0 right off the bat, usually you won't have to worry about stuff like that happening.
