im a dumbass

i crossed wires on my 2 amps, made a spark, and now my front channel hisses, and i fried some of my speakers. probably fried the front 2 channels on my amp. i hate car audio, i quit.

edit: the rest of the story. Im always having problems with my bass. loose wires, cheap amps, bad grounds etc. Well this time it was none of that i cant figure out what is wrong. so i went to attach the sub to the 4 channel, when i attached the wrong end of the wires. instead of the sub to the 4 channel, i attached to 2 channel to the 4 channel. Big Spark, lots or cursing, and now just anger. Its too cold outside to fix it. Im gonna be stuck with no music for the rest of the winter. this blows hard. I really hope my HU is fine, and its just my 4 channel. i know my fronts in the dash are fried, those were running off the HU, not the 4 channel. But my tweets are hissing, and those were off the 4channel. I put so much work into this sytem just to fukk it all up like that. I just cant win.

I've crossed wires before. I accidentally drilled a molding screw through my midrange driver wire, threw the amp into protect. I accidentally grounded the 12v+ wire from battery to amp (first install, didnt disconnect battery)

Accidentally ran a 4ch amp bridged to 2ch with one of the two ch + and - wires touching.

Luckily none of these things hurt my equipment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Seriously? wow. Many times i (or someone I know) has had a bad crimp on the amp power wire, and have had it pop out and ground to the amp chassis... Never once did it hurt anything. Old school "Built like a tank" equipment ftw?
