On rec.audio.car there is a recent discussion on whether or not unused
speaker outputs on amplifiers should be loaded or not.
so I figure there are far more knowledgeable people on this list when it
comes to the actual how's and whys then on the car stereo newsgroup so I
come to ya'll looking of answers :)

                Someone suggested that if left unloaded the output transistors could
oscillate and burn themselves out it not protected (i.e. thermal
disabling or some other method)
I talked to my father and he explained the theory behind this and I
believe it basically follows along the same thread of the grounding of
unused PIC pins... hence my idea to post it here.
someone also asked if the outputs on the headunit itself would also be
prone to this or is it all a bunch of urban ledgend type stuff.

        I guess I'm looking for yes, no or a maybe and sometype of description
that I can relay back to the interested people.

                        Thanks,

                                Damon Hopkins
