shepherd92683 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was just rolling down the highway and a call came in while the music was paused. Bluetooth kicked in and took over power to anything in the car as I used the iPhone to talk on. About 2-3 minutes later, my subs started crackling and the amp smoked. I took it out today and it looks like a resistor was fried. What could have caused this? The amp has only been used for about 2 months. 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundstream15 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 that's strange, maybe something shorted or a loose connection. who knows I got a sq4500 and love it. never once had a issue. had the sq 3500 before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherd92683 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 This is the update they sent me. This amp has damage to the power supply, including burned resistors and FETs. Will send to amp tech for repair quote. So what would cause ALL of this while it is powered but not being used? 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
