Ok then ill post a pic of the amp.

Honestly, pic or not, thought you actually burned your ride to the ground...kinda good it was just the amp I suppose. IMO, I don't think I would attempt DIY amp repair. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

I have a nice zapco amp im gonna try and fix I think I know what I did wrong. But the crossfire is toast! I have to start some where dont I?

I guess if you are willing to risk the possibilty of frying it, yup, I agree, you gotta start somewhere. Hope it wasn't too expensive of a learning curve! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Naw its all good I have a few of them that are laying around that need fixing but cant afford it. I think by not using the monster wire the amp shorted and burnt up. I will be using it this time though.

Good luck! Keep a fire extinguisher handy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

he drives a white 2 dr blazer and thats a cherokee like snoopdans in that pic. troll

It is an older 2dr blazer not a cherokee.

What I cant have more than one car?

this all sounds incredibly far fetched. I'd like to see what you think you're doing that leads to any of these being true.

+100000 x 10^100!

Removing internal capacitors helps an audio amp? WTF... and you want to talk about increased distortion???? Those caps are there to regulate the switching power supply. They keep the DC that is going to the audio section of the amplifier at DC. Without those caps, your transistors will not have a solid DC supply. They will have a big DC voltage offset with a bunch of AC voltage on the same line and this will CERTAINLY increase distortion.

If you went down to get more material, you were not done. So the amp wasn't complete, you didn't have it set right.
I didn't see the username who said this seems far fetched, but removing as much resistance from the line as possible will reduce distortion and also decrease the heat in the amp because there are less items inefficiently handling the power, you must at least agree with this, right?

example 10 capacitors that are each 75% efficient will produce more heat than if you had only 8 or 5, etc. right?

Also, wouldn't you have less distortion if you could run from source directly to speaker but the connected line adding additional power (not possible of course, but ideal) than if you had to run from the source, through a line, to an amp running a separate power and ground, through, components of the amp that are usually only matched by +/- .5% at best to the reference and then out through another set of wires to a speaker.

What the heck is capacitor efficiency? Are you talking about how much leakage a capacitor has? If so, that is so small its not even worth talking about. All of those capacitors are wired in parallel. Adding more capacitors actually REDUCES the ESR (equivalent series resistance) and makes the entire system more robust.

I dont know man but im gonna have to try it again. Or what would you do?

shut up this is CA.COM you have few posts therefore are dumb GTFO he is gunna use monster wire next time and this won't happen

Bullshit. It was a 3 series AMG model.

Ya its my fault I didint listen the first time. I was clearly told to use monster wire but was to cheap to go buy some. and the pic posted was just a refrence pic. My car did catch on fire just not as bad. I will post the damge in a little bit I'm on my phone.

Also by the way what gauge wire should I use??

I used 16 last time
