thegreat22 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 So this morning I crank the car up and heard a real loud popping sound. Open the trunk and the bass amp is smoking. My highs amp runs fine. Does anybody know what could have caused this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1992Chevy K1500 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Tell your amp that smokin' cause cancer and it should get help right away! J/k. Something on the board probably blew. Get us some pics of the inside (if you open it up).

tacomabanga1986 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 oh ya i forgot what do u have wired to the amp? and what ohm load? i think the kx1500.1 is a 2ohm stable amp http://www.woofersetc.com/p4190/ZX15001--K...s-Amplifier.htm ya 2ohm stable, if u had it wired to 1ohm that could be ur problem right there, i kno ppl have ran these at lower than 2ohm loads n it be fine but u never kno, theres always that variable in everything and make sure ur speaker wires aint shorted at amp or power n ground wires frayed out at terminals and make sure u have a good ground at the amp and was it working good yesterday?
