[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8237381, member: 560148"] It burned up because your clipping the **** out of your amps and frying your gear. EQ's are mostly for cutting unwanted frequencies not boosting.. Every time you boost a signal 3db's, you asking for 2x the power from your amp.. So if you had a 500 watt amp let's say and your volume was low and on a fullrange bass signal it should be putting out 100 watts, with your +10 boost when a note in that range came on, it was trying to put out 1000 watts or so, which it obviously can't do.. To top it off, your probably didnt run your stuff at low volume it was high volume, high bass, maxed out EQ.. Leave the EQ alone, if you want to use it, cut something that sounds too loud, don't boost. If you need more overall volume, but a bigger amp or you'll just keep blowing speakers. Search for how to set gains properly if your not capable of listening for distortion. (no offense, but you not, so learn to use a DMM and tones) [/QUOTE]
