voltage was at 13.6 and it was 3/4 of the way up there was a slight pause then it all came back along with a TON of smoke? Can this be fixed or just toss it on ebay as for repair?

It's only burned on the power input side/speaker output can it be fixed and if so about how much do you guy's think?

Sorry to hear this happened man... Amps can do some weird **** sometimes.

oh and gains where set below rated output and subsonic was at 25hz to prevent voltage drops?

I haven't hooked it back up since I opened it up but it was still going pretty hard with smoke rolling when I caught it!

Shake it back and forth do you hear anything rolling around underneath the board?

no no rattles but a few of those fet things legs are blown off the black part and melted along with a sticky black substance around them?

another thing is there is a sticker on the bottom showing a previous repair job and when I looked when I first bought it there was a burned area, it was the same area that has burned now but now both sides.

Wish I knew more about amps/repair one of the components has gone and started throwing off heat. That sticky stuff is the melted board... I believe
