w7 and 1000/1 problem

[regal8r 5,000+ posts]

ok, my friend (xtremez) has 2 13w7s and 2 1000/1s taht weve been trying to get hooked up and running. they were running last night, but the amps werent setup and had the subs at the wrong ohm load. today, we took the subs out to switch to 3ohms per sub so we could properly set the gains. we set the gains and in the process i happened to shock the piss out of my arm (speaker wires) and now they wont play at all except for one of them making an intermittent cricket-like (best way to describe it...kinda like the sound when u change tracks on a cd player) sound. these amps have so many settings that im pretty much lost when trying to troubleshoot the problem. can anyone help plz?

I think we need some more info here.

Were the subs connected when you were shocked? etc. Details man, details.

subs were disconnected, because we were adjusting the gains (dmm and 50hz tone)

So, you had the wire connected to the amp but the subs were just sitting somewhere. Otherwise, how would you have gotten shocked?

That pretty much rules out a problem with the subs I would think.

the positve wire was taken out of the terminal to cut power going to them. somehow i touched the + and - wires on my forearm...

also, if it was an amp malfunction, why wouldnt the other amp not work as well? i think there is a switch, knob or setting off somewhere in the mess of 5325435485438438 adjustments JL thought their amps needed to have. if anyone that has a 1000/1 or even 500/1 could post up a pic of their settings, i think that would help immensely

Is the amp turning on?

Is the amp turning on?

yes, both of them are. both green power lights are on with no protection lights on

Hmmmm.

Have you tried all the outputs on the amp, and also tried both subs on each channel?

I'm just trying to make sure all bases are covered.

Ahh, another thing to check (I did this myself). Did you accidentally put the RCA into the "preamp output" RCA's?

1000/1s are mono amps, just have 2+s and 2-s for ease of wiring

negatory, they were working last night before we setup the amps and were not touched. to verify this, we double checked this just tonite
