"An expensive weekend" or "I blew my amp"

Never had good luck with Crescendo amps.

Been working on this build for about 2.5 months now. This past Friday, I finally got the last piece to get it all together...the door panels.

Got them on and the mids/highs wired up and finally got to play it full tilt. 2 songs worth of full tilt, and then loaded up the family so we could go to dinner. 10 minutes from the house, at low volume, the amp popped. A cap specifically. Volume was so low that I heard the cap pop.

Amp was essentially brand new. Installed about 3 weeks ago. But hadn't played full tilt until this weekend.

Sounded good for a short time.

ETA: amp is a crescendo 12k.

It wasn't your sub being a piece of $hit that I thought was funny. But now that you mention it, yes, that IS hilarious.
Yet again you're putting words into my mouth.
