[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8302194, member: 541144"] There are books about repairing audio amps. If you want to learn, start reading. It's way more involved than what we can tell you on a forum. Need test equipment like meters and power supplies. Need understanding of solid state devices (transistors and diodes), and the other components in an amp. Ideally you'd also need a schematic diagram of the amp and know how to read it. But... From your description of the wires catching fire and the fact that the circuit board isn't burnt inside, I would suspect a dead short at the power terminals on the amp. Like metal touching metal, or the 12V terminal touching the amp chassis. Take a look for signs of sparks in the area of the terminals. [/QUOTE]
