Bought a JBL 1200.1 off eBay a few weeks ago, and after a two-month long install, finally got all the final connection done this evening. Powered everything up and everything came on, and all worked except the subs?! WTF? the 1200.1 powers up, lights come on but nothing happens. THEN...it started smelling and a small bit of smoke came out. Starting to think I get scammed for the first time on eBay. Using 1/0 wire to the Stinger block, then 4g to the amps (1200.1 and a JBL 180.2 for the highs) and 4g ground to the amps with 1/0 main ground from the block. Double checked everything and it is right on. No blown fuses anywhere. The other amp is fine and the other components work fine.
Signal goes as such: Alpine 7892 --> Front to an Audio Control EQL, Sub Out --> Audio Control 6XS --> 1200.1. Front signal goes on to the 6XS from the EQL and then on to the 180.2.
Am I missing something or did I get taken? What does smoke usually indicate? And if it's bad, is this something that can usually be repaired? By the way, the seller had a 100% positive seller rating.
Thanks,
Mike
