Hello,
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!!
Thanks for your time
If I read this right, it never did work no matter how it was hooked up. Take
it back and tell them it didn't work, you want your money back, a
replacement or the unit fixed. Any reputable merchant will stand by his
merchandise and take care of you. Don't go into details about reversing
polarity, it doesn't matter. If you bought it on ebay or from the back of a
pick-up truck at the swap meet you may have a harder time returning it but
still try.
