faceliftedss Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 so today i get up to drive to work at 7:00 am and my head hurts so i turn my head unit off. i have the heater on cause its a lil chilly. about a mile down the highway i smell something burning so i flip the heater off thinking maybe something got in there. and just about the time i'm turning off i look behind me and see the cones of my subs melt and fall inside the woofer and smoke just comes out everywhere. i mean enough to where i could not see and the smell from the burnt speaker almost made me pass out i swerved off the road opened the doors and windows and digged until i could rip the speaker wire out of the boxes. the interior of my truck still smells i was lucky to not of had my back seat in or it would have caught on fire. so i tear the dash apart and trace the wires, can't find anything wrong with it. so i take it to the "professionals" who installed it. they found out it burned up my amp, two subs 2 tweeters and six door speakers. totaling about 1,700 or so. oh yeah they had never heard of this happening and so their warranty wouldn't cover it. so i guess i'll take it up with the manufacturer looking for some advice. that was the start to a continuos bad day.

faceliftedss Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 the installer said he did everything right but who knows he won't admit to shit and i got on him pretty hard i was pissed about the situation and that they were not going to help with the repairs.

fox_forma Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I would think that was a faulty sub and the voice coil just fried up. Not to sure what the amp would really do, i would think the amp would pop the fuses or blow out the power supply if that was the fault of it all. But then again I dont know. sucks man, at least the whole thing didnt go up in flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceliftedss Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 i talked to a few people who know their stuff pretty well and they said some how it was suupplying a bunch of DC power through the system and it just heated everthing up but i would think a fuse would have broken because they are thermal. but there is no inline fuse in speaker wire. don't know the situation freaks me out i guess i should feel lucky to be alive and all that crap but honostly it just pisses me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
