Naw it was just that one time.nothing should smell like burned electronics in there. Probably got your amps at a low impedance and they're getting hot.
Ask a guy who's been installing car audio for over 10 years anything

I would check the wiring. Had this same issue and happened to check the fuse holder leading into the amp and the damn positive wire was barely even in the damn box...seems that it was causing arcing.
Bad install smh...and possibly too small of a gauge wire. Everyone wants to buy those cheap ass copper clad aluminum wire kits from Walmart or autozone but don't realize yout have to go double the size of the wire just to be safe. Using 10 gauge wire on a 50a load amplifier

Naw, I purchased the equipment myself and had this place my friend recommended to install it.
Was 0/1 power and a 250A fuse going into a Kicker 1500.1. They just did a shytty job on the install.
You must have a big car...

MY DAILY DRIVER IS A 09 TAURUS X. I WANT TO UPGRADE THE FACTORY SPEAKERS. NOT TRYING TO SPEND MORE THAN 600ISH. DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO REPLACE THE STOCK RADIO HEAD BUT IF YOU CAN FIND ME SOMETHING DECENT I MIGHT BITE.
I NEED MY CARGO SPACE SO UNLESS THERE IS A GOOD WAY TO MOUNT SUBS UNDER THE FRONT SEATS OR IN THE STORAGE PANELS OF THE CARGO AREA, I JUST WANT SOME GOOD SPEAKERS. I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT CAR AUDIO.

Just replace it if its not under warranty. Training to find someone to fix it would cost you double a door speaker.

I have no experience with something like that. Is it something that can be youtubed and done by an amateur ?
If your just swapping a door speaker yes but make sure you do both doors while you're at it.

Why both ?
