I'm dumb and I think I broke my amp

[Ruckus92]

So yeah. I just reversed the negative and positive wire to my amp, since I didn't wire up separate colored wires, and also I'm dumb. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif:clap://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif:clap:

So smoke and sparks everywhere ofc. Replaced my engine bay fuse. Tried again the right way this time. Same thing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif but my engine bay fuse didn't blow this time.

I ain't sending this crap back to the states cus that's just as expensive as buying another one from the states.

Anyways, I'm just wondering if any of you guys know if it's possible to fix it easy or if I should just use it as a paper weight.

It's a Boss NXD3500 mono.

It was a paper weight to start with. Were u located. Ground zero and fusion are companies outside the states.

It cannot be repaired in any sort of cost effective manner and there is nothing you can do to diagnose the problem unless you're an electronics technician with a scope and an understanding of power supply construction.

pretty much any other brand would be better than Boss. The first questions would be your budget and the amount of power your subs are rated at.

Well, first of all, don't insult yourself, at least your honest and recognize you made a mistake or two. Second, I recommend something to repair that amp, throw it away or hang it on your wall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif . You know you'll be better buying a new and better amp than spending money on repairing something that's not worth it. Best of luck.

Boss amps/speakers/equipment are only good for paperweights in the first place... You probably bought the lowest quality amp you possibly could have. Amp is dead, before you buy another amp post it on the forums here and we'll let you know if it's decent.

They're not okay. They're trash

Look for companies with representatives in your country or nearby so you don't get killed with shipping costs

 

[phemps 10+ year member]

Actually that particular brand is worth more as a paperweight than an electronics device so sell for profit ane smile! Really though. Not worth trying

IMO I prefer boss to crunch.
