Default Big cloud of smoke

My Fosgate amp released a cloud of smoke today. It still plays good and loud on all channels, What is up? I set up the gain with my oscilloscope a year ago. Maybe a bad cap?

Are you saying it still works after you let out all the magic smoke?

Wow!

I always thought that one you released the magic smoke that they put inside electrical gear it would never work again. I have searched the internet for a good supplier of aftermarket magic smoke, but their are none. I guess the magic smoke must have a rock solid patent.

Did you pay extra for the magic smoke? I didn't see it as an option when I got my kit. LOL

Seriously, it still works after the smoke issue? You sure it came from the amp? I have had no problem with my HD14-Tkit.

thanks,

It still plays loud and clear, so I'm not worried. Thanks for the great support!
