[QUOTE="drew113087, post: 3419817, member: 581369"] if it is a high quality amp, it should have a pretty good protection mode, a know exactly when to go into protection mode. I have a Boston Acoustics GT-24 amp and had the same problem at high volume levels for extended periods of time. i read, and reread the manual, took a voltmeter to the amp, to make sure the gain was right. come to find out the gain was set right. So i went on to try to figure out the problem. come to find out there are two small fans above the heatsink of the amp. i took a closer look, tested it out. HAh i figured out the problem I only smelled the smell when those fans actually were engaged for a little while. they were only try to cool the amp down, yet still creating a burning smell. [/QUOTE]
