so we had an electrical surge this weekend, tv was smoking, amp acting weird, you know, all of the things you don't want to see before the last day of NFL!

So after unplugging the monster surge protector (who's alarm went off anyway), noticed the power lights on my RTi100 towers and PSW120 sub do not turn on anymore, nor do they work. The RTi100's do work, just not the powered subs....i'm assuming possibly whatever "electrical occurance" that happened blew the fuses or entire amp itself? Such a bad week just got worse :(

    ok....took off the amp panels and the fuses were fried (completely black/grey), i'm hoping this was the problem...

    Sounds like they took some damage from the power surge...Did you have the surge protector set up properly? If you bought that surge protector new, it should have come with a connected equipment guarantee, so you may be able to take advantage of that. I'm not sure of the specifics of it though.
