Msd Coils Not Working W/microtech Please Help

Hi i have a microtech lt10s with x4 box..... i have the coils wired the correct way because about a week ago when the car was still not completed we started the engine. but for reasons unkown to me the coils are getting power to the positive side of the coils and the negative side. i know its not the wiring because i have power only running to the positives on the coils. and the negatives are connected to the X4 box..

please someone help me i really cant figure this out!

thank you,

Vic

Bad news man - You fried that box - Check your wiring.

On second thought - You have 12V on both side of the coil?

Ok - So where is the box getting its signal from? Are you still running the ignitors?

Your saying the negitives are connected to the box - Which sounds correct -- Where is the box getting its signal to fire?
