So heres the story, i traded a buddy about $20 worth of stuff for a kenwood 4 channel amp that may or may not work. so i hooked it up to test it. the amp has a 25 amp blade fuse in it and i had a 15 amp fuse on the positive power wire. so heres the sad part. i hooked the amp up to pos instead of negative and vice versa and it immeditalty blew the 15 amp fuse on the power wire. im wondering if i cooked my amp, why it didnt blow the 25 amp fuse on the amp? and yes i tried brand new fuses all around with the correct power polarity and it wont turn on.

 

hahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha
yeah you fried it. i did 2 that way lmao

 

Ya, its dead...

 

some amps have a protection for this.. connect it right and try it againto make sure

 

i did that with my 5K atomic and i was lucky enough the only thing that blew was the sodder connections between the terminals and the board. A friend of mine was able to sodder it back together. Might wanna check that out too.

 

i opened it up but i cant see any damage. Were your solder connections underneath the circuit board?

 

did it smell burnt??

 

No it smelled fine but there is a silver cylander shaped thing I'm thinking its a. Capacitor that looks a little rounded at the top like there was pressure inside it

 

got a pic?

 

Ill get one in an hour or so I plan to open it up again and inspect the board on the under side
