Just thought I would post that up and let the guys know the Viper guys commitment to making sure everyone is running smoothly. Including me. :nod:

WTG Viper!

Soo thats what he was doing on Saturday, multitasking...;):sneaky:

Got my my VTX 10.5 combo finally wired up the rest of the way today and I was not impressed. It almost caught fire from the C terminal. It was smoking and glowing red just after a few seconds of being turned on. I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue?

Sounds like you crossed a post with solder. I would have to inspect it in person to see for sure. They are all tested from the factory for 5 min under a load. That type of failure is very uncommon. Please go to our website and fill out the rma and send it in. You have a 1 year warranty. No worries.

That is also what I though I had possibly done but wasn't the case. I called A-Main and they are getting back with me tomorrow...
