[QUOTE="JStephens, post: 98503, member: 1846"] Results may vary. :) However in all seriousness unless your amp has a failsafe device on it you could have done damage to it. I would have never done this personally. A speaker is a 4, 6 or 8 ohm load. Directly coupling cables like that is a 0 ohm load. This means that the current just fly out. The theory works on that the one output would cancel the other. Thus neg to pos etc. However this is not always the case. One should never turn on an amp without a speaker attached as it can kill/fry the power section. As there was a 0 ohm load I think this could be the problem. I think you might have a bit of damage there. [/QUOTE]
