[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8779973, member: 682903"] I feel I shouldn’t even ask, but you did swap the amps internal fuse right? I’d swap any in the system to rule them out. And I wouldn’t throw it in the trash, it is a good amp, low power, but decent, at the very least list it for sale for parts / repair / non working locally. I use to buy broken amps whenever I could get a bargain, sadly most people are / were willing to pay more than I was for dead amps. Years ago, maybe still, would have gotten at least $50 for it on ebay even fried, shouldn’t get less than $25 though if you leave it posted for a while, better than nothing and should be easy to repair for someone that has a little experience. But yeah, hooking an amp up backwards, or any electronics is generally pretty bad. Most amps have polarity protection diodes that are suppose to blow the fuse if wired backwards, but that can be hit or miss. [/QUOTE]
