Help! is the amp fried??
|
hector martinez II Unregistered guest | okay so my friend and i was unhooking his sub's amp. He unscrewed the ground terminal and must have done something wrong cuz there was a bright spark followed by a burnt rubber/chemical smell and some smoke. I asked him what happened and he said that either the ground wire touched the amp's casing or the terminal next to it which was the remote terminal. We hooked everything back up again and now there is NO sound.. the power LED on the amp didnt even light up.. could the fuse be blown or is the amp totally f@cked up... |

Check the in-line fuse and the fuse at the amp. Also check the remote wire with a test bulb to make sure you have power when the head unit is turned on. I had an amp that the ground come off so I put it back and saw some sparks also. I never did get it to work again. I broke the first rule too. |
