bumonskateboard6 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Smell inside your amp, does it smell gross and disgusting? haha nice, if you have a multimeter hook it up to the speaker outputs on the amp turn it to AC and turn on some music or any noise and see what the voltage is.

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
