Unfortunately I would say that is exactly what happened. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Well, not friend as in not fixable but certainly damaged.

I sold a Kenwood KAC-927 to a buddy and he did the exact same thing. The amp has never worked correctly (well, at all) since. It will power on then immediately go into protect mode.
