Well, not really but close enough. I got into my car this morning to warm her up, because my parents and I were taking my car to go look at Northeastern. After about 10 mins we take off. Pulling out of the driveway, there was a very distinct smell in the car, ****ing gross. got less than a 10th of a mile down the road and smoke starts pouring into the car. OH ****. We hop out, and open the trunk to let out a huge cloud of extremely horrible smelling smoke. bad start to the trip. went back to the house and switched cars right away. Well, now after 4 years of abuse, my rockford fosgate punch 200.2 is gone. the thing has been through alot, ive had it down to about 1 ohm and it pounded 2 15's in my old car, then it powered 2 8's and 2 12's in the same box. She was a good one, now ill have to move on to a McIntosh. Yippie.

Melted transistor:

Another melted transistor. See the blue resistor that is now toast?

Now you can see that resistor: The amp was mounted such that the transistor was below the resistor. Transistor caught on fire and the flame charcoaled the resistor. Looks like yours was mounted similarly.
