OMJesus I hope I didn't blow my amp.

[fbi90909 5,000+ posts]

I've had my Audioque HD18 running off a 2000watt Digital Audio amp (discontinued) for over a year now. Everything has been fine and never had any problems with the amp or sub itself.
The other day, my brother in law had called and told me he had cleaned out his garage and found some stereo stuff I might want. Anyways, he had 2 Audiobahn's (not sure of the model, but I want to say flame Q's) and he thought they were blown. I disconnected my Audioque and hooked up the audiobahn. Didn't even move. I reconnected the Audioque (bridged @ 1ohm) and sounded fine until I turned the bass up on the remote. All hell broke loose.

The sub proceeded to hit incredibly hard even when the bass boost was turned up a tiny bit. And didn't hit with the music at all. Just a continous pulsing at about a million decibles.

Any help is appreciated.

maybe confused your speaker outputs the amp power inputs?

get a dmm and check the ohm of the "tested audiobahn speakers"

report back with #s

im pretty shure if they are dead shorting - you would of blown a fuze somewhere.

Obviously I didn't literally mean a million decibles. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I checked all of the amp fuses and they all seem to be fine. I checked them with a fuse tester so were not just going by my eye judgement here.

When I unplug the amp remote it starts hitting at "a million decibles" again. If I turn everything down on the amp, everything sounds fine, but only at like 120db. If that.

I switched the rca's tonight and it didn't seem to do anything. Its too dark and late to run a new set tonight, but I will try that tomorrow. I may have them backwards on my HU. I took the HU out the other day to get into my dash, so I might check that before I run a new set.

Thanks for the.... uh.. help.

yes, you may have pinched or grounded an rca to the car some how.
