Demo402 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 i went to hook up my amp and i had my capacitor hooked up to the battery and it sparked when i put the ground into the amp and now all i hear is a popping noise from all my speakers but u can hear music. my amp lite doesn't come on either. my guess is i fried my amp.

bigredishott Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 It dont sound to good! Have you checked all your fuses. Maybe even take a test bulb to the hot wire and remote wire. Perhaps you got lucky with a fuse. You should take the neg off the battery when hooking stuff up.

bigredishott Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Got my fingures crossed for ya! Don't forget the inline fuse in the remote wire behind the deck. Might be easier to use a test lamp there. Again good luck, hopefully thats it. Lord knows I have blown my fair share of fuses, wiring stuff up while hot.

Demo402 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 yes i should have but i diddent this time, but will do check the fuses right now, thanks All 4 25a fuses are blown, and there is melted metal all over the ground terminal on the amp. i don't have any money to get fuses right now so im gonna have to wait a few days. I'm really nervous because I'm suppose to be selling this amp and subs to my friend.

bigredishott Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hopefully thats it, the fuses. Fuses are dirt cheap like $1.79 at 7 eleven. you can test it out with smaller fuses too you know, just wont beable to bump. So, if you have some smaller fuses laying around. keep us posted wether you got lucky or not.

Boon Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Check you didn't stick the power in the ground and the ground in the power. That's a real quick way to blow all the fuses (and half the time the RCA ground track in your headunit...) Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demo402 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Check you didn't stick the power in the ground and the ground in the power. That's a real quick way to blow all the fuses (and half the time the RCA ground track in your headunit...) By double checking my work and trying to calm down, i figured out this is what i did. Now i have to get 4 new fuses when i get the money. Looks like im not bumping for a few days, unless i find out that i fried my amp, lets hope for the best! Thanks for the help bigredishott, and boon!!
