Subwoofer caught fire while on standby?!!

[X400]

Ok so i was sitting in my living room watching tv, my receiver was turned off

all of a sudden i hear a loud Pop! sound.... like when you throw christmas lights on the ground and they explode

then i hear some buzzing noises, then another Pop! bzz bz pop

so i was like wtf? it sounded like the back of my tv was blowing up

i walk towards it and i notice the ports on my subwoofer smoking!

smells a little like those cap guns with the lil strips of gun powder?


so i unplug the subs amp asap (its plugged into a surge protector btw)
i leave my sub in stand-by mode (thats probably relevant)


i unscrew the amp and take it out (mind u the amp and the sub are not hot)

when i take off the amp A LOT of smoke comes billowing out


Im still not sure where it started but the amp and sub look fine...

still haven't checked em out im waaay too tired but i thought id post this first and get some thoughts anyhow




its a Creative Sounds SD12 Subwoofer and a Elemental Designs LT350 amp
