Members FredZepplen Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wire a 60W light bulb in series with your A/C. Plug it in turn it on. If the bulb lights you have a serious problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steverino Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just recheck everything, make sure the amp is hooked to the speaker, plug it in and turn it on. I know that first minute is a little stressful. When it's time I turn off everything else (tv, radio) and turn all my senses on full. Watch for smoke, etc. You should be fine. Good luck!
