Now i know i was doing the wrong thing but....
My amp + lead dropped onto the casing of my amp. Keep in mind that the case is pretty much all earth. The inside of the amp glowed very bright and smoked for a while. I opened it up last night, found 1 burnt out wire, which looked like an earthing wire to the board. I replaced the wire, do you think it's worth giving a try in the car again - see if it lives?? i can't do any more damage - i won't hook the sub up unless i get power and no smoke

should be right, as long as the earth strap (from board to casing) didn't break connection.
even if it did It most likey will be ok, But there is a small chance that the +ve May feed itself the wrong way through the amps power transistors via the heatsink IE: case.... and reverse through the board.. Just to get to the nice fat negative terminal. I don't see this having a death affect as most of these transistors are -ve to the neg rail... bah I hope this makes sence

this is why you should disconnect it at the battery before you work on it

Im surprised it had long enough to f**k the amp
it should have blown the fuse up near the battery first..

get yourself a batter charger and hook it up to that. run a wire from the + to the switched to turn it on - that way the worst u can do is blow the battery charger or throw the safety switch in the house. better than ur car battery

Guess what it did! that exact earth strap! Well anyway, i got bothered and hooked it up last night as the replacement amp i bought just sounded crap. Plugged in, flicked the switch and away it went! Now i've got 2 amps to play with
