The only amplifier I have ever had fail and still to this day do not know why was some American Bass CX1200 amps. I had 4 and two just decided to call it quits for no reason what so ever. Replaced them and never had an issue again.

I had a sound stream granite that started making squeaky noises and you had to turn it up loud then back down again to get the left channel on. I quickly removed it because I was told it might start spitting DC.

A friend had an Old JBL GTO 2 channel NIB, though very old. Did the same thing.

Had a Treo. My brother shipped it to Portland from florida, when it got there and we hooked it up it put out DC
