Amp problems please help

[Ls1killer98]

Ok so I just got a amp today hooked it up and when I put the power wire to it it arched and blew the fuse, so I took the ground out put the power wire in and it did the same thing when I put the ground back in. So I left both hooked up went to change the fuse same thing and now my wire terminals look like **** from all the arching any help?

That's what I thought at first BUT.... When I mounted amp it was upside down to where you couldn't read it so I flipped it over and didn't think anything of it and wired it up the same way but the ground and 12v since I flipped the amp were wired backwards:uhoh: I feel like such a jackass cause it was pissing me off lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I'm sure it's happened to everyone at least once. Don't feel bad lol

Yea at least it wasn't the amp lol. And I'm more than happy with this combo wasn't expecting it to do much cause it's just a 12" p1 it's by no means the loudest I've had but I really wasnt excepting much at all from it

lol, and lucky. many times, it fries the reverse protection diodes, especially doing it 3x. cheap fix usually, but still a hassle to have to wait on getting it fixed.
