    Exclamation repairing blown amp?

    My mates are absolute idiots, and hooked up a 1000w amp and decided to run everything off it, had there xbox 360 off the dvd player and the amp blew all the electricals in the car.. I was wondering.. They think its all dead.. Can I repair fuses in them [if they have any]?

    I don't get it...how did they run a dvd player and xbox off an amp?

    If they just blew the fuses on the amp then thats an easy fix, but all the electricals in the car? Something had to be wired VERY dodgily in there somewhere

    Graphics like you wouldn't believe. So good the pictures actually leave the screen, alongside the internal electronics.

    pretty crap amp if it doesnt have output protect. doubt it'd be 1000w maybe pmpo, bought off ebay perhaps? 1 dollar starting bid and 50 bucks postage?

    i reckon your 'mates' got confused as to where power and speakers were meant to go... 12+ into your speaker outs makes for fun smoke rings. or better yet, bolted the 12+ constant to earth. lol. that'd explain the car melting down.
