It depends on what is wrong...

it depends on what you fried. some warranties cover some stuff but not everything that is if you still have your warranty on the amp.

also, if it is blown, it would just completely shut off, no pwr or nuthin? and wouldnt you smell somethin burned?

No i dont believe so......i had an old RF amp and i could hook it up and it would power on and then it would slightly catch on fire so i stopped lol.....that amp is in a trashcan somewhere.....I think i recall from another thread that this is a memphi amp, i think it will be a pretty penny to get it fixed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
