Newb question??
I just purchused a used amp, while hooking it up I made the mistake of connecting the power cables up backwards (positive to negative, negative to positive) this caused sparking and some smoke to come out of the input. I removed the cord immediately so this only occured for 3-4 seconds. Once I connected everything correctly the amp does not work. What is the likelyhood my actions caused this problem. Trying to figure out if I bought a used amp that doesnt work? Thanks for your help!!!

well, a repair for this problem is roughly $80 at almost any electroniics place(power supply) I did this once too, after a night of drunk installing, I hooked up the power wires backwards and made magic smoke as well. It sucks, learn from it, and suck it up
