What do you mean you were playing it in ur house? were you using a 12 volt power supply or a car battery?? PLEASE don't tell me you rigged it to run off a A.C. outlet... that would be funny though.. especially if it's still alive.

I was using a 12 volt power supply for it and i have also used a battery.
