Its kind of hard to explain how it happened but I'll try. He said my radiator was electrically charged somehow. He is almost positive its caused by the system. Electrolysis he called it. The current flew through my radiator to the heater core and apparently it was too much for the heater to handle, which caused it to leak. Its hard to believe, but so far I'm convinced cause like I mentioned earlier I've had my system disconnected for almost four weeks and haven't had a problem since. When I had it connected it blew out twice in one month. Once 3 months earlier. I do have a capacitor in my system. I noticed he disconnected the grounds from the chassis.

One things for sure I can't afford a blown heater core again, or car battery for that matter. So I guess I will try to ground my amps to the battery. Should I connect them both together and run it to the battery. Or should I ground the 1000 watt amp to the chassis and the capacitor/2400 amp to the battery??
