PBR300x2 problem
Hey guys, I've been running a PBR300x2 for a few years now. It is hooked to Infinity Kappa 62.ii and stock head unit. Today, while riding the music turned off and I could smell a burnt electronics smell at the same time. I turned off the radio and continued riding.
I got home and took the outer off and turned on the radio. The power protect light was lit on the amp. I unplugged the speaker outputs, but the light still came on, I unplugged the inputs (which I used as the remote turn on) and turned the unit on with one side disconnected, no light, but no sound out of the other side either. I plugged a speaker into the radio outputs and they are fine, no problem with the leads from the radio.
It appears to me that the amp is fried, I took the cover off, no real nasty electronics smell. Does this sound like the amp to you guys? If so, I think I will get a better amp, maybe a soundstream or Arc Audio. What do you guys think?

Gannicus, does it also sound to you like the my amp is bad?
Thanks for the input on the amp. Is the Arc worth the money over the Soundstream? Living in Canada our dollar isn't worth shat, so basically add 30% to the price you have. I might do a speaker upgrade at the same time. What do you recommend for a reasonable budget say $200 for speakers?
