Stick a volt meter inthere and measure your voltage and see if the voltage is correct. Remember, Black-Hot, White Neutral, Ground Green, Ground the bottom hole, neutral, the wide slot. Amp sounds like it had one foot in the audio casket, the other on a banana peel. A time to fry....Best of luck. Have an electrician do the work. If your home owners insurance found out you have a fire from your wiring, coverage is not likely.
question about installation of 20 amp wall plug
I bought a replacement wall plug that is rated 20 amps. I installed it from a 15 amp circuit breaker, in the add it said it was ok to use in 15 or 20 amp. I pluged in a cheap intergraded amp to it and it and my speakers started popping and the amp started to smoke, I unplugged it right away. Was I wrong to assume that it would be ok coming from a 15 amp circuit, can anyone tell me what I did wrong, thanks
