Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / February 2006Donno whats wrong with my amp someone help plzzz
K I just got a new system. When i was tryin to hook up my amp (us amp si 2200) I accidentally hooked up my power wire into the ground spot and my ground into the power spot. It sparked... I quikly unhooked it. It blew the fuse so i changed it and tried again this time i made sure it was right when i went to put the power wire in it sparked again and this time i did it right. It also blew the fuse again. When i did this it also made the spot where u screw the power wire in go alittle black. So im not sure what goin on is my amp screwed or what any help on this would be greatly apprecitated thanks!!! tylerkozakevich@hotmail.com > K I just got a new system.

Its job is to short circuit the input power if the voltage is too high or reversed. It's usually a diode or SCR with fat wires and it will be the first component after the fuse. If you're not so lucky you blew out some transistors. Some partially conduct in reverse so they immediately heat up and pop. > > K I just got a new system.
