About the question in the topic title... anything will blow if you put enough power through it.
Maybe your radio just died? Did you try a CD perhaps?
BTW by cap do you mean capacitor or something covering a connection or what? A cap could be many things. |

Thanks Santa-Fe. But still... maybe a crappy radio is the fault? Why do you instantly blame it on the cap? Check your wiring and everything. If you modified anything recently, you may want to recheck everything. |

And just to add, running power next to rca's DOES NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT CAUSE NOISE. Poor installation practice is the root of noise. |
