[QUOTE="Lil Poot, post: 5747250, member: 561892"] i'm thinkin no way... but it happened to me. the amp was in close proximity to the terminal, maybe even with a corner touching the the top, plastic part of the terminal. i hear a couple of just slight variation in the normal bass pattern of a common song i play, so i turned it down, didnt hear anything out of the ordinary, so i went full tilt again, and a few seconds later the bass cuts out. i'd been bumping hard for maybe 10 minutes. i pull over, smell something burning, but not exactly like a blown amp, all kinds of smoke coming out of my box... this is what i find.
