its a soundstream sa245. And the makers were butts because they used some kind of star bit and not a phillips to assemble it.

The pi**er about Soundstreams is that the company called Soundstream now isn't the same one that existed up until around 15 months ago. The new Soundstream (they bought the assets of the old company but not the actual corporation & installed new management) won't honor the warranties on the equipment produced by the old company. I think the technical term for those of us who might have warranty claims is SOL. :mad
That said, I've had great luck with my Soundstreams (I've got three).

I know how to crack it open, i just dont have the tools.
i dont think the box was the death of it. When it "stopped" it was cooler to the touch than normal. Usually out in open air, or even when I had it fan cooled, it would get so hot you wouldnt want to handle it.
