I recently had my car broken into and someone tried to steal my system. Thankfully my fiance heard and went out in time and they drove away. They had disconnected some of my wires and we tried to put them back but I think something wasn't hooked up right. While driving one day the bass suddenly got louder and louder until it was one big thud and even after turning down the volume they continued until somehow they suddenly turned off. I thought I may have blown something but I tried to play a cd again on low volume and everything worked fine however I haven't listened to anymore music because I don't want to mess up anything after that incident. So my questions is what could the thud have been? And is there anywhere I can find info on which wires go where? Also I used to have a factory cd player and got a aftermarket one but I still have a line output converter and my system wouldn't work without hooking it up. Do I need that? How can I remove it?

Wire from battery(normally red) to 12v+, really skinny wire(normally blue) to remote, black or silver wire from ground to grnd. No you dont need the converter as long as you have your rca from asftermarket cd player to your amp(preferred way). You might have also bridged your amp with your speaker wires which would cause your system to run on a different ohm which would cause the bass to get louder then overheat you amp which would turn it off.
