that wont be down to the head unit mate , if it was that then the amp would have gone first . did he run the subs in or just put large volumes through them strait away?? sounds like they werent run in to me

Is the amp powering up? If the amp is powering up and not going into protect then you know its an rca problem. Have you checked all the connections onto the speakers are "clean".

lol the subs were all second hand and so didn't need to be run in. and he's an electronic engineer and he's pretty good with wiring. plus when he put his new unit in that didn't need the adaptor it worked absolutely fine with no subs getting ruined. dunno what caused it but it must have been something to do with the RCA adaptor cuz it worked as soon as it was removed!

Could have been earthing out on something, what did you use to connect the wires onto the speaker wires?
