[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 6997229, member: 624844"] Its possible you popped the amp when the RCA's were plugged in. It can cause a dead short on the inputs or if you were playing music at the time the gains might have been too high for the power you were feeding it. The order you hook it up doesn't matter. What matters is not powering on the amp until you double check all connections and have the gain at 0V. Then you can power on the amp and gradually turn up the gain while playing music. The slower you bring the amp up on power, the less likely you are to blow something. [/QUOTE]
