Or would like too much power going to like the accesories or antena do it? It worked fine before I hooked it up to this one because I used it before and I can't just hook it up the way it was before because I don't know how it was before.....

Answer 1

sounds like you hooked it up backwards or hooked up power to the ground or had way to big of a fuse in it id take it in and have it checked to see if its still good or not

Answer 2

if you hook up your subwoofer to it without an amp, it can use too much power and smoke.. so i would check out all the fuses and see if they are the right size

Answer 3

check all wires are connected properly and there no cuts or frays in wires before going any further if all okay take back to place of purchase.

Answer 4

Most likely a short circuit in it.

Answer 5

there could be a lot of reasons. maybe a bad wire that burned, maybe it overheated, etc. take it to a car audio guy
