BUCK FAMA
Alright, heres the story.
I get back from vacation in May and out of nowhere one side of my components isn't working right. If i turned the volume up loud, the amp power light would go off and so the music would quit. Well i figured it was my amp going bad..So i just listened to my left side play since it played normal. Whats weird is my vehicle had been sitting in the same place for 2 weeks and this happened.
Anyways..Fastforward to Thursday afternoon. I have my key turned back listening to music while we are camping. I got to crank my Blazer up about an hour later and smell something, which is never good. Once it cranks back up the side of components that played normal was playing at a GREATLY reduced volume. WTF?
I just got done playing around with my amp..I had the components bridged..I thought a channel may have gone bad so I put the wires in different channels..Same thing..
If i set the settings up exactly like I had them for the 10 months I have had this amp, both sides barely play and its like the mids don't even work. On my right side if I turn the volume up the mids will sort of pop. And the amp will cut out and come back on.
ANY help will be appreciated. I don't know whether to buy another amp or what...
This is already the second freakin one I have had on these Rainbow SLCs in just 2 1/2 years.
