[QUOTE="cx-7heaven, post: 7642640, member: 579914"] More than likely it was because you had the headunit and amp turned on when you plugged the rca's in. This probably caused some kind of surge/transient/ which may or may not have blown the amp, but apparently did blow the sub. Static could be to blame as well, if you were charged up as you plugged the rca in, that could have sent some electricity through the inputs and blown the input stage. Remember, even the smallest static spark can be thousands of volts, where your normal amp inputs don't like more than 8 or so volts. Point is, your inexperience/carelessness is most likely to blame here. [/QUOTE]
