I bought a Profile AP740 Car Audio Amplifier and could not get it to
turn on. I had 12.7VDC reading between the power and ground wires (8
G), and I had 0.1 ohms of resistance between the ground point and any
bare chassis around it.
I could not get it to turn on, even after trying to bypass the remote
turn-on lead by putting a little 16G wire between the B+ terminal and
REM terminal to bypass the head unit's turn-on thing. It still would
not turn on.
Well, I screwed up bad. After all of this and a lot of frustration, I
disconnected the amp and inspected it and all that stuff. I started to
put the wires back into it and I put the ground in the B+ terminal and
without realizing this, I put the Power cable in the Ground terminal.
It made a spark and I pulled the power/ground cables out realizing
what I had just done.
Is the amp fried now? Any hope of it working again? What exactly did I
do to it? I wonder if the amp was even working in the first place
because it wouldn't freaking turn on!!
See if you can convince the people you purchased it from that it was
faulty when they supplied it to you (is there any evidence that it was
not?)
Many places budget for replacing units accidentally destroyed by customers,
so they won't ask awkward questions - it's a cheap way to advertise.
