My amp survived the crash...I think

[klepto 10+ year member]

I was in the process of installing a full system in my car about a year ago when I was in a pretty bad accident. Because everything was not fully installed yet and I was still constantly moving/adjusting stuff my amp/subs were not bolted down. During the wreck wires got ripped from my amps and the RCA's got torn from my Massive P400.4 running a set of Crystal SSCS's. My car also filled with smoke, but it did not smell electrical. I think it may have been from the airbags going off? Could my sub have blown as well? IDK...

(I apologize in advance for the bad pictures. My camera is broken and cannot focus.)

How involved is an RCA repair and is it relatively easy to do? How would i get my amps tested to see if they are toast and what would the relative cost be?

(Mind that i don't have any local friends into audio so i cant plug and play in their car.)

Thanks,

Greg

you can take the amp to a local shop and have them test it.

the rca repair, im not sure never dealt with anything like that.

at the worst, someone may have to resolder the connections. i doubt the rcas were damaged. they most likely just popped right out.

It looks like they were actually torn out...

It was a rather violent crash.
