[QUOTE="WarPigsBravoCo, post: 8737278, member: 682410"] Everything was in the car but the wires (RCA, speedwire, power, and ground) were not put away clean (i.e. under carpet or behind the trim). Once I confirmed the HU, and amp powered on, I tested for clipping with O-scope and set gains with multi-meter. I then connected speakers and sub and confirmed all worked. It was at this point I disconnected the negative battery cable so I could disconnect the power cable from the amp and route it under the trim (did the same for the other wires). I reconnected the amp power wire and then connected the battery negative cable. This is when it sizzled and smoked. [/QUOTE]
