XX-Hercules fried a SECOND TIME

[Supergumby5000 5,000+ posts]

Yup. now im just gettin mad heh. The first time i recieved the amplifier, it came defective witha bad RCA jack. So i sent it in under warranty, and after a few months i got it back.

Now, after a month or so of use, its dead again. I was driving home today (volume low, might i say) and my subs just stop making sound all together. I just turned everything off and waited til i got home to deal with it.

When i get home, i turn my headunit back on, and as soon as everything powers up, i hear a slight "pop" and the side of the amp with the power/ground/remote and speaker inputs starts smoking.

I disconnected my battery and went to take a look, and nothing looked like it would have fried the amplifier that could be my fault. none of the wires were touching each other, everything was wired correctly (ran on more than one amplifier). Subs were wired at 1ohm, which the amp is definately stable at.

This time, i think im just gonna request that either i get a brand new one or a refund. Im hopin for a refund, but doubt it will happen.
