i had my eq install for about 6 months now. i turn on my car, no sound. i check my eq smoke is coming out of it. it is located in the glove compartment. does any body have any idea why? it been working erro free for months.

What kind of EQ is this? could have been some sort of short in the wiring which caused the fire.

i just found the problem. i opened the eq, and i found out that it is some chip on a heat sink. the bran is a Lanzar vibe E750s. it is not my ground or positive wire that cause the problem; if it was, then the fuse would have broken. the chip just burned up. i opened it and tested it, the chip was up in smokes.

I had that happen to an mtx crossover, some loose rca's connected to it came into contact with something in the trunk it shouldn't and it started smoking internally
