[QUOTE="Chris t camp, post: 8839984, member: 688785"] I'm having a similar problem kind of like your having dude except my problem is my amp is getting power but when I hooked my sub to it and turned my head unit on I heard a thump assuming that the amp kicked on and while I was tuning the head unit I started smelling burnt electricity so I looked back there and smoke was coming out of the port of the sub box I rushed back there to the sub and it was stuck so I unhooked it and it unstuck so I'm thinking the amp fried it it's only a 2000.1 apm audio pipe the sub supposed to be 1500 rms dvc4 I made a noob mistake by not setting all the knobs to zero before turning it on so then I go and get another one of my older subs hook it to the amp speaker terminals and it did the same exact thing idk I'm puzzled because never had this happen before I got to thinking because I mounted the amp to the floor in front of the sub with screws and was thinking that it may have grounded the amp out and caused that I got the back of the amp off looking at all the insides of it and it clean and no visible burnt spots nor does it smell burnt if anybody could give me some advice if I should try it again since I've in mounted it from the floor or just get another amp I hope that it didn't mess the subs sq up or anything for that matter tia.
