Your fuse could be too small for the amp. You could try putting in a bigger fuse and see what happens. |

What is the amp's model/brand and the fuse size?
An amp shouldn't blow fuses without any load, regardless of the fuse size (within reason). |

Hey, what size is the fuse you keep blowing. Above around 20-30amp u got a problem.
Firstly is to double check the power wiring to make sure it is hooked up right and to see if it havnt say chaffed or something and its earthing out.
I had this problem with my amp, I had wired it all up and it was working for about a week ok untill the amp blew up.
From then the amp itself was just shorting the (+) and (-) somehow.
I opened the amp up and found some MOStransistors not working and replaced them, when i hooked it up the blowing of the fuse was fixed but it still didnt work (must be another chip or something stuffed) anyway what i am saying is that the amp itself might be stuffed like mine. |
