AmplifierFried?

[gesture88]

My system was working perfectly on the way to school today, but after class on my way home there was no bass coming from the subs. The amps power light was not on. I checked all my connections and fuses and found that the fuse near the battery for the power cable was blown. So I went out and bought a new fuse (same 60 Amp.) When I got home I swapped the bad blown fuse with the new one. The amps power light was on, but it wasn't powering the subs, and shortly after turning it on I smelt some kind of burning and I think there was a little bit of smoke coming out so I quickly turned off the power to my Head unit and amplifier. Its a Hifonix brutus 1600 watt mono class D amplfier, wondering what the hell could be wrong. Anyone ever had a probelm similar to this? Any help would be good.

Once you let the smoke out, you can never put it back in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
