[QUOTE="SGSeeker, post: 5506536, member: 576198"] I went to plug my 1.1000 into the car and it made a nasty smell (without being plugged into any subs). I bench tested this thing prior and it worked fine. Only had power, ground, remote, and rca's but I never saw the thing on - upon close inspection it smelled funny. Now I have to pull this thing apart and see what the **** thing did to itself. Of course, fuses are all good still. The gain was turned all the way down, the crossover was apparently at 75hz, subsonic off and voltage setting at 1.0-8.0v. Plugged the old amp back in and it works fine. Why are my things just randomly frying for no reason?! I've never had a problem with any car audio equipment until now. Anyways, with a 1KHz test tone, the voltage going to the speakers is about 1/3 that with the 100Hz test tone. Being set at 100Hz, or at 1KHz, the old speakers wouldn't have been overpowered at all. Tested these all to get a good baseline for setting up the gain for the midbass/midrange speakers I have in the doors for now until I get get some better drivers. [/QUOTE]
