so i fried something in the amp, i think they are called the output transistors. i have pics if any one is intersted i can send a pm.

here's the story:

so tonight, i am finally exited to get my subs into the car and start wangin.

let me tell you what happened before tonight though. about a week or so ago, i already had my box completed (not finished though) me and my bro went out to test it with the nine.1.

we tried it facing up first and it was working fine, then we decided to test it facing the rear and it still no problems. then I wanted to try facing up one more time. this time, I heard something pop as soon as I turned it on and then all four 30 amps blew.

one more thing I would like to add is that at this testing; the amp kept on going into protect but this is because the speaker wire was overstripped at the terminals so the + and - kept touching. But I fixed that, no problem.

So tonight.... we go to finally put it in after I replace the 4 fuses. All speaker wiring is perfectly connected, all settings on amp are lowest possible. Go ahead and turn on the h/u, I was exited to hear my bro say, "Green Light ON", 2 seconds later, "oh, went away", another 2 seconds, "damn, there go the fuses again".

So then after realizing that it could be the fact I am not disconnecting the negative battery terminal, I rush to pick up a bunch more fuses. Connect everything back up, and this time the green light on the amp is flickering as a low rumble are coming from the subs (4 9kv.2s), (even though the gains are all the way down). about 5-7 seconds later, pop.

someone mentioned disconnecting everything except the ground and the power wire on the amp and then just do a jump from the power wire to the rem terminal (since all rem needs is a 12v power source right).

i did this and so here i am, with a slightly fried amp. however, this time the fuses didn't blow.

the amp is packaged up right now and ready to use that warranty i have; however i want to find out what caused the fuses to blow and how to fix this problem.

does it have anything to do with my speaker wiring?

Not sure from your post, nor have I held a nine.1 but why and how are you wiring the "4 @ 30A" fuses? Also how were the subs wired to the amp-besides touching (ouch!).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

the subs are each d2s. i wired each pair (2 pairs total) to a 2 ohm load which was then bridged at the amp to give a final 1 ohm load to the amp.

about the fuse thing, the amp uses 4 30A fuses. that could clear things up, if not just ask more questions.
