[QUOTE="graffix989, post: 587165, member: 557480"] alright, so you basicaly need something that will tell you for sure that the +/- on the amp is shorted out. i have access to multi-meters, but maybe some of the other guys on here will have a good idea on how to do it.... but basicaly just take anything battery operated that you can cut the positive wire on, hook your two pieces of wire up to the + an - on the amp, if the thing turns on then uve got a short somewhere inside the amp an youll be able to return it to any store you baught it, or send it back to the manufacture as a DOA unit. trust me you wont get shit from em cuz they love fireing dumbass people... an if the thing doesnt turn on then youve got a bigger problem... possibly still inside the amp, maybe its drawing more power than its supposed to, that would explain why it passed the hi-pot test at the plant, cuz they probably didnt check for overloads. basic rule of thumb, faster is cheaper is better for CEO :P aight hope dis helps out, peace [/QUOTE]
