We are just pulling your leg, no one is slamming the 5150, their is just no way of knowing how long it would be before you had a problem, it's like buying a new car, the manufacturer can give you a warranty but they can't guarantee you won't ever have a problem, the only amps that never have any problems are the ones that are stashed away in a closet not getting played, all the rest are open for anything............ Enjoy your 5150.............while it lasts!.............Just Kidding..........
