Manitunc, hopefully you check the speakers out first, like Almarg suggested. He catches stuff the rest of us overlook. It's cheap insurance to do it first. I'm worried that the protection in the amp may not work 100% of the time, if it is something like the speakers causing it. If it is mechanical feedback, that may not be as risky, like something in the speakers, that may be still tying the two amps outputs together. Whatever caused it the first time, is most likely there yet. Your original wiring looks right.
