[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8674447, member: 676005"] OK, so you have a Crunch amp powering up the Sony and Pioneer speakers, RF woofers powered by Kenwood Class D monobloc amp. Did not specify head unit but then you went and purchased another head unit (Boss) and it all ran well until you released the Genie as a smoke and smell....hmm,!!! Few things you should do are: [LIST][*]Stop using your sound system and disconnect the power cable / engage the circuit breaker from the battery (assuming you have one) [*]Take subwoofer box out , take subs out to check voice coils, use multimeter to check resistance. [*]Check your monobloc amp, wiring, for short circuits, if possible take the amp out and bench test it or take it to a mate who may do it for you; [*]Check RCA'S and behind the head unit, could be a short circuit / wires touching vehicle chassis; [*]After you have checked the subwoofer and the monobloc amp and it all appears fine, then place it all back to test it again. [*]Either your monobloc amp or subwoofers have failed here but its always good to check wiring. [*]check power/ ground/ remote wires all the way to the amp as well. Check you have solid ground from the vehicle chassis to the power distribution block as well; [*]If you are not competent to do these checks yourself, then take it to a knowledgeable friend or a car audio shop. [/LIST] Hope this information provides some help to your situation. Peace! [/QUOTE]
