Nightshade Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 that doesn't guarantee that your amp is fried.have you tried running it to see if it works? on my goliath xxv, i put the pos wire first then the neg. when i put in the neg, it sparked. so i pulled it off, noticed that my pos wire is too deep in the terminal and it might have touched the case itself. i fixed it and all is still running fine now. I had the same exact thing happen with my Crunch GP3000D. I don't know if it was touching the heat sink of the amp or not, but when I first hooked up the negative to the amp there were a few big sparks. I quickly unhooked it. I also pulled out the positive wire too to have a look. It left a little black residue around where the positive wire touches the metal contact to the terminal. The part of the metal that is on the inside of the plastic. Anyway I hooked the negative up first this time and pulled the fuse for the positive before I put the positive back in. There were no sparks this time because there was no current in the wire and the amp was fine and has been fine ever since. I had never had that happen with any other amp other than my Crunch. I have always hooked up the positive wire and then the ground and this was the only time it ever did that. Maybe it's something with Maxxsonics amps. Oh well, it has never given me a problem because of that so I'm not worried about it.
