My cousin used a speaker wire as a power wire to an amp and it turned red and caught on fire, lol.

one time i was driving on the freeway and i had a pair of cvr 12s on a spl GLA1-6000d that were so loud my motor mounts loosened and the motor almost fell out at 70mph!

My old college buddy with a crunch 4 channel amp on 16 gauge power wire gain maxed out and nothing blew for 5 years till this date. Thats some freaky sh*t.

This^

2/0 gauge + wire scraped against my ground bus bar. All 5 of my batteries were connected to both, so there was a gigantic ark. took a few chunks out of one of my amp input reducers. Scared the crap out of me.

The second day I brought my car to school after I got my N3's done, I was demoing on the far side of the parking lot away from the school and a cop drove by. Threatened to write me a $250 noise-ordinance ticket or something.

On the last day of school I pulled up bumpin' at 75% and the assistant principal came outside and threatened to have me arrested if I ever played my music that loud on school property again.

Well.. looks like I won't be demoing my car at school next year..

I don't understand why people are upset by bass during the daytime. I can understand about night time when you're trying to get to sleep.

Back when I was still fairy noobish I once drilled through a guy's fuel lines while installing an amp rack.

Blew my windshield out on 2 kicker comp 12s on 6000 watts.

Ok, seriously, it had nothing to do with car audio, but I burnt every wire in my dash coming home one night.

I also have no fuses in my whole wiring setup. Just at the amp.

You're lucky that's all that happened! I'm sure it was a Boss amp. Those make some legit power

Lanzar Vector 6000.

So powerful it dims my lights, shuts my car off and pops its fuses daily.
