I think I shorted out my car audio system. HOW DO I FIX IT?

Okay, so I was driving down the road when my system turned off. I looked back only to see that i forgot to screw in the 4 gauge power wire so pulled over and tried to screw it back in. During the process I accidently touch the ground wire and the power wire together and it made a little spark. (keep in mind that everything is still connected to my battery) To my dismay my amp wouldn't even power on. I tried troubleshooting by hooking up my old amp. That one didn't turn on either. So then I thought i blew the fuse so i changed out the fuse and even got a whole new fuse holder. still nothing. At this point im very frustrated and have no idea what is wrong. Is there a possibility that my power wire is fried? Thanks for your help :)I think I shorted out my car audio system. HOW DO I FIX IT?test your wires by testing your hot wire with a multimeter and see if theres a voltage reading on it. power wires are not that easy to fry unless you literally wired the hot to the ground (it'll melt). it also depends where your amp is mounted too...if its uninsulated and mounted to your car body, then there might be some problem. otherwise, since you said your old amp didnt even turn on, it may just be a problem with your wiring. (this is called a short, where the electric current will take the shortest root to the ground).



all i recommend is double-checking your wiring.I think I shorted out my car audio system. HOW DO I FIX IT?i am sorry to say but you will have to replace the stereoI think I shorted out my car audio system. HOW DO I FIX IT?well my brother is really good with car systems, and he told me one day when we where hooking up his system to make shure no wires touch together it will fry your amp and subs that easily so i recommend that you watch that from now on you most likely have too get a new amp........ if not that witch im shure that's it, it could be a fuse so check them.........hope you have luck!!!I think I shorted out my car audio system. HOW DO I FIX IT?the second those two wires touched you blew a fuse someplace. if your vehicles lights and accessory lights still work then the problem lies with the amp OR the fuse on the power wire going from the battery to amp. if it is that fuse then that would explain why both of your amps didn't work. just to be sure make sure you check all your fuses in the car cause there is alot of them that go to different Accessories.
