[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 94926, member: 542392"] Again, freezing, cryogenic stasis, dipping them in water, wishing upon a star... NONE of these is going to prevent immediate voltage overload that happens when you send an overvoltage situation to a mosfet. It'll die immediately, not over the process of a few seconds. It is not heat that will kill the amplifier, it is the failure of an internal component due to a higher than allowable voltage level. Send 18V to a road gear amp once, see if you can even get it to power up long enough to send it a signal. If you feel like it, go ahead, plunk it in the freezer for a bit. [/QUOTE]
