Hello All,
One of my subs started smelling like smoke and the AMP was making a crackling noise. I had 90 degree brass connectors on it and the RCAs are very close together (was running a Y cable so had both filled). I don't know if the AMP is bad and a danger or if the two wires got too close or the 90 degree metal connectors touched (though they didn't seem to be touching but not sure, etc. So I took out the Y cable just using one normal RCA. It's working fine. I'm monitoring it closely. If it happens again i'm done with it.
Question is that normally something that would only happen if wires touch, etc? I would think if the AMP was bad it would be gone and done but it seems fine so I'm confused. Plus there is a fuse and it never blew.
Any advice is welcome.
