[QUOTE="bgowdy, post: 8166934, member: 632121"] Open it up, look for anything that looks like it may be burnt or out of place or loose. If your not sure what to look for, if you have a cell phone pull up a good size picture of the amps guts/board thats not blown or nothing on your phone to look at while your looking over the amp board. Smell the board as well to see if there is a burn smell to it. If you dont have the electrical to run it wide open then have the seller play it FULL TILT before he even unhooks it or whatever. if yal meet up and says "he doesnt have the electrical" to run it wide open, or cant hook it up to play then idk if id buy it or not.
