While "jamming" today, i smelt a stanky aroma arise.



Long story short, smoke came rollin' out of the bottom port of my Avatar cab. It smelt just like you'd imagine something would smell when it's burning. The cab has a 2000w handling and my power amp is 1800w (it wasn't maxed) and i was actually pushing it significantly less than i usually do. I plugged it back in a few minutes later and it still seemed to be working fine.


The only thing that i could think of is my power conditioner. A friend came over and he used my power conditioner to plug in his amp (120w) and his 1 spot. The power conditioner has an 1800w max and i believe i still had quite a bit of cushion in that range. Regardless, i don't know how these two could be connected.




k,
me
