[QUOTE="deano17, post: 4442779, member: 585592"] so i was driving home from work when all of a sudden my bass cut out. i was 2 streets away from my house so i just turned the music down and figured i'd check it out when i got home. then i started to smell something burning. so i pulled over and popped the trunk and my kicker zx750.1 was smoking. does anyone know what might have caused this? my gain was about half way up. i'm running two kicker cvr 12's at 2 ohm. the volume was about 48/62 on my pioneer head unit. all connections were fine, and no fuses blew. the amp didn't even go into protect. i've been running this amp since january. it was in an accident but i took it apart and checked it out and it was fine. just a couple dents in the top. but its been working fine. i recently added the second sub so it was pushing the amp harder at 2 ohms but i don't think that would have caused that much damage. the only thing i can think of is the accident loosened something and the vibrations made it come loose and short something. it also wasn't bolted in because the accident also ripped off the tabs to mount it so it slid. i always checked the wire connections though. i'm just curious as to why all of a sudden it started smoking without warning. any ideas?
