Has anyone ever seen an SPL car go up in flames?

Just curious... after all the spazzamaloots have gone on their spazz fits... what is the worst wiring, or otherwise, accident you've witnessed in an SPL vehicle?

I have heard of a few Visions installs from Calgary causing a few flames, but never seen it happen.

I completely disconnect my pos from the battery going to the back of the car after every show.

Only hook it up when I get to the comp so it's really only connected for a couple of hours at a time [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I made one of my multimeter go up in smoke the other day! Put the red wire in the DC amp slot instead of the vdc slot by acciden. LMAO
