Hey All, I have been using this amp in an old GE Boombox and all has been good. I run it off the stock PSU 16.2 volts and a few amps at best but it is enough.
I used the headphone jack output and that work very well with the amp on the lowest sensitivity. To clean the project up I was working on a L-pad off the speakers inside to get rid of the cord. I built the l-pad, tested it and it is just fine.
Somehow I fired it up and the switch on the l-pad was bypassed so the amp got speaker level white noise for just a second then the amp dies and stays dead. LED turns on and the fan runs, nothing looks or smells burnt... Are these amps just that touchy about input level?
Thoughts?

True. The volume knob was at 3 on a 41 click scale. Couldn't have been that much power but...
An FM muting circuit would have saved that amps life I guess....
Thanks
