Voltage drop=blown sub??

[OrionStang]

A couple months ago I fried my xl. Around the same time, my check engine light came on, I reset that with no problems. A couple weeks later messing with my big 3, I noticed that the wire from alt to batt had come apart at the fuse. So, my question is would that sudden drop in power from the alt lead to a chain of events that would send a heavily clipped signal to my sub and kill it? This was a couple months back, don't know why Im thinking about it now lol.

id say its a good possibility...

happened to me.

Damn, thats what I thought. I've got all my wires soldered on the new setup so it won't happen again.

More opinions?

yes thats a major possibilty because if you tuned your amp when you had that voltage and then it suddenly drops, it will create clipping amd add heat to the coil of your sub and blow it. Your electrical stage is extremely important when running a system properly

The lesson of the day is, "Do not attempt to crimp and hammer 1/0 power wire. Always solder!"

Step 1: solder.

Step 2: hammer/vise.

Step 3: pull-test.

Step 4: profit.
