[QUOTE="hussnainh8, post: 8517756, member: 660773"] Hi, Thanks for the reply.. I haven't checked continuity however I did check AC voltage set at 200 and connected the Red to positive and black to negative on the speaker output terminals and the reading was reading 30 and jumping to 28 constantly, did not go to 0, This was when there where no RCA cables attached. That could explain why the speaker cables where getting very hot if I connected them to the terminals.. If it is not sound going through to the terminals then what else could it be that is causing smoke to come out of my speaker cables?? I think it is a dead AMP yet it was sold to me through ebay as BRAND NEW. Spoke to the guys on the phone and they told me they tested the AMP out for 26 minutes at 1 OHM load and it was running perfectly fine before they took all the cables of and sent it to dispatch. They said to send it to AMP doctor and they will repair the AMP for me and send it back which I agreed too at the start but then thought about it again during the day and thought why should I be getting a repaired AMP back when I paid for a brand new AMP? Waiting for Monday so I could say to them that I will send the AMP back to them and request a brand new AMP to be sent or a full refund to be sent to me, If they do not agree, then I will have to go through it with PayPal. I have also purchased 0 GAUGE wiring kit so if they send a new one out, I will have the correct wiring kit to power the AMP rather than 8 GAUGE wiring kit. Even using 8 GAUGE wiring, it should still stay on but this AMP is staying in protect mode. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
