[QUOTE="blgaudio, post: 5197796, member: 559188"] I just sold a guy a Audiobahn A16000v mono block amp. It was a brand new amp, well besides me hooking it up for possible buyers to try it out. Always worked perfect for me never had a problem. Today the guy I sold it to hooks it up and he said as soon as he turns the key on the amp powers up and starts blowing smoke. So I go check it out and can still smell the smoke its fried something internal. I figured being a newer amp that it would have positive negative reversal protection, circuit protection, all the goodies so what could he have possibly done? He has for some reason run O gauge wire from batt. to before the amp and then stepped it down to 8g. before it hooks up to amp. Same thing done on the ground. Would this have something to do with it? It was hooked up right when I arrived not to say he didnt switch it. Could him having the subs wired at wrong ohms fry it? I just dont want this to look bad on me so I'm trying to figure out what happened. Thanks for all help in advance! [/QUOTE]
