[QUOTE="deez283, post: 8795851, member: 609934"] My first install when I was 16, I was finishing up the amp wiring in the dark and hooked up the power and ground backwards and actually turned the system on trying to bump it, It was pure distortion and light dimming.. I knew something was wrong and shut it down and discovered the backwards wiring.. Then hooked it up correct and all was good.. With that said Not all amps will have the same protection built in.. These were Old school Sony XM amps, I'm still running one from that era (1996) Sony XM-2100G on some Morel Components and it's a beast. [/QUOTE]
