test tones dont ruin amps. improper install and abuse ruin installs. and if you smelled burning VCs from hooking the amp up to your subs you were probaly clipping the amp or sending it too much power. im sure there isnt anything wrong with the amp unless you shorted a sub out and it hurt the amp.

I opened it up, and peeled back the lable. I then put a small drop of oil into the bearings. That fixed it, and it's been good ever since :)
Hmmm.... that would be easy to do, and sounds like a quick fix, hopefully if i do that, that it is the problem. But i need to find time to take off the case on the amp.... i kinda have a weeks worth of homework to do as i was in florida.... so maybe next weekends project.

Let me barrow your head unit and subs and i'll check it out again, lol....
Just an update... my old amp still works. I hooked it back up to my Kickers and works just fine. My friend still has yet to go through and check his fuses.... he is such a lazy ass.
