There are several different failure modes in the electronics that could cause this. And removing the load (speaker) could lead to instability in the amp that can result in thermal runaway. Adding a small 2 or 3 amp fuse in the power lead to this center ch amp would likely prevent it from drawing enough current to cause this level of damage.

Makes sense. Center Speaker was still hooked up and working, so no open "runaway" routes.
Looks like the amp just overheated and the plastics took to flame.
thanks.

Is there any downside to having the plug to the center amp "unplugged"? I've removed the damaged amp and do not plan to replace it. So the harness plug to the center amp would just be not plugged in to anything.
Thanks for any insight.
