xxlbigboono Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 quantinum audio 2000 watt amp i bought it off ebay and didnt say model number ect. lol its just weird the dude i bought the van from doesnt even have the power wire ran to battery its mixed with some other wires lol, I have a 0 gauge wire just no tools to install to battery terminal, With the car on i can take the power wire and hold it against pure steel and nothing sparks lol umm unless you want your car to catch on fire, dont touch a power wire to bare metal. and that amp, with a quick search, doesnt seem to have any means of protection in place (weird). True sorry, I dont have a DMM but if its too low how can i fix it haha sorry im a noob at this just trying to learn :/ how can you fix it? for one, dont wire 2 different subwoofer sizes together ever again. two, make sure the ohm load will be compatible with your amp. three, make sure your subwoofers have the same voice coils. as in, if you have two subwoofers, make sure they are both dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm or whatever. not one is dual 4 ohm and the other is dual 2 ohm, that wont work. I apologize for all noobness, I know the 2 15's are SVC 4 ohms, Idk about the tens all i know was a bad idea :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which is ok) Yeah when it happened i removed the tens asap and then pulled the fuses off the wires as shaped as a complete s inside the fuse its 50A fuse two of them they dont look burnt, Any other things it could be beside the deaded 400$ amp blown :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletInjection Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I spent $30 on mine and it does what I need it to do. It had a one year warranty on it and it did die twice but I exchanged it no questions asked at sears.

scfaust Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 he can just take a test light ground it to the car and touch it to the power wire and see if there is power most everyone has a test light. also i would never hook the stuff back up in ur car till u get wire ran unless u want u amp radio and subs to fail because of someone else' hacked up wireing job. http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww203/scfaust1/alphadamp.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
