i had my pioneer gm x722 pushing 4 6x9's and then i heard a loud pop and ton of smoke. i pulled over and both my fuses were shot. i put new ones in and it wont even turn on. i guess thank gosh for warranty.

Yes that is a safe bet that the amp is shot. Smoke usually means something is blown. Hope warranty is good for it.

I think your right. The first thing they teach you in Electricity courses is that all electrical componenets are filled with smoke... If you let the smoke out... its done for. Sounds like thats what you did

Sounds like your fuses are not of the correct value for the situation. Check what you should have in there when you get your new amp and use them, not something bigger.
