[QUOTE="MitchZ, post: 5473613, member: 578653"] Well I was driving along today, went around a corner and my bass stopped. I took the deck out right away so my amps went off. I pulled over and checked all my wires, everything seemed cool. So I put my deck in and I hear zapping and poping and I turn around and see blue fire at my chassis ground and the ground on my amp. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] Now my amp is blown, and the ground was loose. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] This was the only wire I forgot to check because I never had a problem with it before. I guess from me packing my car full of stuff and driving across the country, it probably slowly loosened the ground somehow. Now my Zx has a few blown transistors. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] Is there anyway to check which transistors work and which don't so I can buy the parts before bringing it into a electronics shop?
