fr34kout Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) You tuned your amp to non-boosted/slowed music. Boosted/slowed music might not be clipped, but it could be pushing your amp to clipped levels. Bingo. If your scoped your amp on regular music, this boosted music most likely had a stronger signal. It's not because the songs had minimal clipping in them, it's because your gains were too high for these songs. Instead of only clipping where the song does, your amp was most likely forcing a clipped signal on every bass note which caused it to draw too much current and eventually melted your fuses.

UnderLoK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Look for a short (don't rely on your inline fuse to tell you look for it) or to see if your ground came loose. Next check the load on your subs and if they are off take them out and see what's up. If you don't see any issues with the previous items put in new fuses. If the amp doesn't turn on you prolly cooked the amp which popped the fuses. OMG your music was clipping so obviously that breaks all of your shit! You guys take the extreme scenario and apply it to everything all the time. If it's clipping related he can almost certainly find the problem at the subs. EDIT: Did you really play all the songs one after another full tilt? a bet a ton of the music on here clips, a lot of the music on the artist own cd clips Tons of music does, but people like pretending that everyone is putting double RMS to their subs and beating the hell out of them 24/7.

I agree, highly doubt playing a boosted song would have done that.. your fuses didn't even blow, looks like too much power going thru them or just shitty fuses..

Not all 30 or 31 songs all the way through but about a half hour of playtime yes. Quote DONT MIND ME, IM JUST A DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF SHIT.

xstingstreetx87 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Amp and subs are fine, it was due to the "chopped and screwed" songs clipping causing the amp to pull more then it knows how Quote DONT MIND ME, IM JUST A DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF SHIT.
