Hello all. Yesterday my brother and I were putting in his second Infinity Beta 15 and second SS 10.0. We had everything all hooked up, running, and tuned. Then shut off the truck, arranged everything, and prepared to go for a ride. Started it back up, deck powered up, and billows of smoke poured out of the amp. We're still not sure what did it. No wires touched or anything. Just a very strange occurrence.

i had a soundstream 10.0 that blew out some smoke as well. Although I was running at 1 ohm, playing tones.

i sent it back to the company and had to pay 100, got back a perfect amp so...

good luck

Do you have an in-line fuse going to the amp, it might be that you had a power spike.

Straight wire from the second battery to the amp. There's a fuse in the case, though.
