My guess is -- there is a grounding issue or maybe a "hot spot" issue in the electronics that in your particular setup you have found (by coincidence). I am an Electronic Tech and I work with some high power equipment as well as "low" power equipment. And some times even though spec'ed to a certain range, some one will find the "OH $HIT" spot. When you get it back send me an e-mail with there explanation (if you don't mind). I am courious what they have to say.

Subject: DML: AH!!!!!!! I need to vent, There goes another amp!
Well, I get a new amp (RF Power 250.2-retails at 1,299) and I hook it up to
my 4-12" ppi subs. it's been since thursday night and today. I was going to
go pick up my little sisters from school and I'm finally out of the
"break-in" period for the subs and amp so I start turning the gains up a
little and go bumping. My it's loud.
That's the good part. 5 seconds later. SMOKE! All around the dakota's
cabin. I start freaking out because it is so bad, I can't see a thing.
Anyways. The RF amp is fried. Sending it in for repairs but this is bugging
me. that's 2 amps that has burnt on me and all the connections are correct.
I just don't get it.
