[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 6166998, member: 590338"] IA20.1 It was an idea that the amp may have been damaged by styrofoam while being packaged when it was sold by a member here several months ago. I am not saying, yea, ok thats the answer nor am i saying that's not the answer. What i am saying is it was outputting a clean signal, nothing wrong with the wave, only reached 28.7v output, the gain was completely down, we didnt even have a chance to turn the gain up yet because the volume to be reached on the head unit never happened... The volume was being increased from vol. 10 to 27 before tuning commenced... The head unit was being turned up about 1 notch a second monitoring the scope very carefully. When it hit around vol. 22, a "click" inside then an immediate poof, smoke all on the power\gnd side. No reason except some sort of part failure due to whatever reason. An amp was immediately swapped to test other signals input and output and measured nothing out of the ordinary. [/QUOTE]
