Yeah, what he said...

Just as an aside, I manage to create a power off thump when installing my new amp/speakers... When I put my head unit/crossover back into the dash, I managed to apply x ft/lbs (lb/ft?) of torque to the front right RCA connector of my crossover (where x is some number greater than the tensile strength of the circuit board.)

It made a terrible thump whenever I turned the unit off.

Valuable lesson learned, don't finish up an install at 2 a.m. when you're in a hurry to cram stuff back in the dash. Broken crossover = bad sound / nasty thump / less $$ for an empeg...
