Bass Remote Knob Blowout?

[Frozenbritches]

Is it possible that my bass control knob shorted out and helped fried my amp? Just wanting to know so that I do not blow my next amp...as far as what happened to the first it blew up one night and fried the fuse..replaced the fuse, my second amp is on the SAME power line and it's even behind the fuse. That second amp is still working but the first is done..so I assume it was a flaw in the amp and that this second one should work very well

Also, what is the best way to connect an amp without stressing it out??..as in, what wires should be connected at the time of inserting the power wire

I thought you hooked ground power and then remote but I might have it backwards

if you have a doubt in your mind i would get the rca bass knob, works great plus it turns the bass all the way off. which is good. i think their made by peripheral ( sp? )
