[QUOTE="Bwap, post: 8304137, member: 654234"] What would be the best course of action?.. I ran this amp for awhile, then it went into protect.. but the POS protect circuit did nothing as the amp was popping and smoking while it said it was in protect. Now if I power on the amp it instantly goes into protect and starts popping and smoking. I don't really understand the point in having a worthless protection circuit. I thought the point of the protection was to protect it before it was damaged, not allow it to further damage itself. Either way I need to know what to do, and will never spend money on CT again. Every other amp that I have owned that this amp was supposed to match in quality would go into protect, then power up after as the protection circuit wasn't a complete POS. These higher quality amps are Orion, DC and Mmats. This is partially to inform people of CT's crap protection but also would like to know what you would do. I don't know if I even want to get it repaired as it would cost a lot and its not that great of quality. It put out good clean power, but **** 1 time going into protect and completely fried... not an amp I see owning very long. Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to fix, or how much it is worth blown? [/QUOTE]
