[QUOTE="daddy_j, post: 7185826, member: 592529"] I have 2 cactus 5ks, I run 18volts to them, but while charging the amps were left on and saw +20volts, and one popped pretty good and started to smoke, and the other just went into protect. I let the second one sit for a few hours and the amp took about 20 seconds to go into protect, but when it was hot it would go into protect within 2 seconds. Sound like anything you have seen? I know the amps are fried, just trying to get a ball park to fix them. DB-r fixed one for $400 and said their was board damage. I got it back and it worked great. But again the amps saw +20 volts and both blew this time. I got them fixed in Oklahoma for $225 ea plus shipping. I just want to know what kinda price will I be looking at if it happens again? I know you won't know an exact price, but a ballpark number would be nice. [/QUOTE]
