A friend told me today my audio was breaking up,
i checked my equipment and saw i was pumping to many watts into my klv350, (probably about 40 watts) the top got really hot and i could smell the electrical smell but didnt see any smoke. Make sure you are keeping an eye on your wattage!!!! If i send it back to Copper will they give me an estimate on a repair?

I was told mine could not be repaired. Mine was a KLV 250. I ate mine.

Ya know, a wattmeter is a lot like the tachometer in a race car. Ignore the red line, and things break. If you didn't have a meter in line, now you know why it's a good idea.
