[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8587563, member: 614752"] If you weren't playing it hard it should not have failed from low voltage, also it should not idle hot (though some amps do). The power supply failed catastrophically though and it looks like that board may be burnt to the point where it cannot be repaired anyway. Do double check all the wires and their connections to your speakers to make doubly sure there are no shorts, otherwise, chalk it up to bad luck or the amp just reached the end of its life expectancy. I've never been a fan of Kenwood amps since they made their first ones way back when. Alpine is a far more reliable brand for amps. [/QUOTE]
