    I blew up my amplifier yesterday...

    ... due to this song... Well not the amp, but the fuse going to the amp in the engine bay! I went for a 2 hour local drive last night and had this song on permanent repeat at near maximum volume and never once hit boost in the car. Such a mellow soothing track that I drove for two hours locally driving at under 2500rpm!!!

    Its originally a Bengali folk song, been slightly modernised but I think its one of the best bits of music I have ever heard in my life!

    Dont worry about not understanding the lyrics, I dont either, and I am Bangladeshi. The lyrics are very old (1850's I believe, yes, 1850's!) which is why I probably cant make out the lyrics when compared to the modern Bengali language.

    Hope you enjoy it as much as I am!

    Very mellow. A nice wind down at the end of the day. Wish I had some better speakers on my PC though.

    Nah, I went to Wickes for a few bits, did a quick bit of Asda shopping miles away (there are other Asda stores closer), filled up petrol at a Shell station 15 miles away from me (there are 4 Shell stations locally to me), and just drove aimlessly for a while

    If it blew the fuse, something ain't right, dude.
    You either have not enough thermal management, power delivery or the speakers themselves were heating up and changing impedance.

    I only had a 10A fuse in there It was the only one I had when I shorted the old fuse installing the amp!

    Got a proper 30A one now and the stereo is fine
