PUNKYOU007 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I installed an amp under the seat in a Blazer and when i was bolting the seat back down my ring hit the power terminal on the amp and arced through the ratchet. I have a Tungsten Carbide ring, supposed to be the worlds strongest metal or something. The ring broke in two right where it arced at about a month later. It arched where the ratchet was touching my ring and where the ring hit the Pos on the amp. Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

Tebo Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Think at some point most of us have poked holes in speakers or subs, i did it when i got my first comp speakers they were only 45$ though. Next thing is mixing up polarity. Pos in neg on the amp popping fuses like candy going wtf mate??? Also mixing up negative and positive on a sub and yet again WTF MATE? 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 For me its remembering to hook up the RCA's on an amp I just installed for the first time. LOL then get pissed and think something is bad wrong when I turn everything on for the first time. My other is I have a bad habit of remembering to hook up the atenna (can't spell) When I would put a radio in a customer's car.
