is the smell kinda like an electrical fire smell? its really hard to explain the smell but like halfway between buring rubber and melting plastice i guess you would say..? cuz my box does that some times. i practically stripped it down to notheing one day looking for any crossed wires or any of my power lines that the wraping came off of. i never found any but the smell is still there sometimes. but its really random sometimes it does it sometimes it does not. and most of the time its about 10 mins after i turn it on. guys at the dealership coulent find anything wrong and of course it didnt happen when they were looking at it...
