What should i do. The amp still works. No sound and a really heated magnet on the speaker.

Edited: after some reading it seems like the voice tube in the celestion speaker broke down and overheated the whole speaker and burned it. So I have to get a new speaker.

Is this common with this specific amp?

I have to say, I think this is the first time I've seen a post explaining this kind of problem.

Were you cranking it, or did the speaker some how just decide it was time to call it a day?

How hard were you running the amp, and were you using an extremely overdriven preset?

Did the speaker sound find right up to the point it quit making sound? Was it hot immediately?

If the speaker froze up so that the coil can't move, the coil will overheat. This can happen if the coil jumps out of the gap.

Or, if the amp is dumping DC into the speaker, it can overheat.
