[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 8440527, member: 590338"] That can happen if you are hooking up speaker wire while amp is on. Is the amp on when connecting the wire? If so, you can damage the amp doing that. If the amp is doing that off, then sounds like it's damaged internally and can cause parasitic drain in vehicle. You also mention the voice coil starting to melt. If the voice coil is melting, what is happening to the tinsel leads? If you are going to measure output voltage, [B]you might want to set it to DC Voltage because this kind of issue sounds like the amplifier is no longer putting out an AC signal.[/B] [/QUOTE]
