[QUOTE="steveswell, post: 6093241, member: 612067"] Sum*****! I went out to replace the two 20 amp fuses in the USB2100 and heard a pop as I put the first in. Pulled it back out, it was still good, but I didn't like the sound of that. Disconnected main power at battery and put them both in, no problem. Connected main power again and when I got to the trunk I saw wisps of smoke coming from the amp and smelled that awful smell of burning electronics. Unhooked power, pulled fuses, both still good. Checked all connections (power in, remote, ground, speakers) all good and secure, no shorts visible. I've been running this system for at least 15 hours with nothing more than very minor tweaking of the crossovers and gain controls. I WAS listening to Dark Side of the Moon at high volume with bass boost up on amp last nite. It looks brand new and came in original box with instructions from reputable ebayer. What the **** could I have done to it? Why would I get a "fried" smell and smoke while the fuses don't blow? How can I check it outboard of the system? Thanks all, need some help. [/QUOTE]
