    I had to go on a short drive today and didnt plug my sub woofer into my amp (I take my subwoofer out of my truck at night) I also didnt use the radio at all. On the way home I smelt amp burning when I got home I saw the amp was extremely hot. Is it just me that didnt know you had to have your sub plugged in at all times or im I missing something?
