Arnold55 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 yea i will check it all this week, like i said he took it to this shop and the guy was finishing it and he went out there to leave and all his lights in his truck started to flicker and like his head unit would go on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 and the shop isnt fixing all this? ram that car down that fuckers throat. he damn well better replace that amp too. the PDX amps are great and expensive, id be pissed if some one fucked up mine. the ohm load shouldnt have effected the lights in the car... what it sounds like happened was something happened to send so much power through the amp that the lights were starved for power. most commonly caused by a short. however i do have to ask again, when the amps blew was he playing it loud? the last possibility i can think of is that the voltage could have dropped so much that it fried the amp. small gauge power and ground along with stock electrical, maybe the sub is wired to 1.5ohm. all that could make voltage drop possible but only if he was bumpin.
