[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 7162697, member: 549523"] Glad you like it -- the GP3k amps have spring clips on the FETs so I'd guess vibration is your issue and the FETs snapped off and thus the amp blew. For this reason we don't use spring clips on the FETs and add a bunch of extra screws to the board itself to prevent this type of failure. dB-R has confirmed that ~75% or so of the amps he sees are vibration related regardless of what the failure looks like on the surface.
