treossi Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 found this on another forum, thought some other members might find this interesting the box was in a tahoe. the customer said he acually smelled something funny about 10 minutes prior to the flames. he said he got out and looked in the back of the car and just saw smoke rollin out of the port and the cone melted. so he go behind the box, and pushed it out with his feet. Box amps and battery as you can see the damage is bad. the box is still sturdy, but everything else has major damage. the subs are both smoked. the amps has major cosmetic damage, as well as all of the input jacks snapped off from his feet. all of the gains were all teh way up, as well as bass boost. he also said he played it for quite awhile at full volume. so it was his fault lol.....

LOOKINFORSPL? Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) I hope this wasnt a professional install(who set the amps). and what is it with some people that get their stuff installed from a reputable shop turns both of those up as well as the loudness on the hu. i guess the amps were collateral damage,DAMN Edited February 23, 2010 by LOOKINFORSPL?

treossi Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 first thing most people do is play with the gain, because it's not loud enough, and see bass boost on the amp,that must make it louder too Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
