Why did my amp just crash and burn ?


I just installed a new set of AQ Robin Hood Zero cables. A little hiss sound from the speakers prompted me to adjust the spade connecters just a little on the amp. Then low and behold , the amp just cuts off and currently appears dead as a doornail. 

What just happened and needless to say this is an absolute bummer.

Nothing wrong with the cables. Replace the fuse and carry on. Hopefully that is as far as it went.

 

 

Sounds like you inadvertently shorted the spades across the speaker terminals.

That said, not too sure why you'd want to connect it the way you said you did. Weird, for sure.
