popping fuses = blown sub?

Recommended Posts

alright im not gonna explain everything.

but i know clipping the shit out of a sub can fry your coils. and it increases impedance causing more heat to occur in an amp and blah blah.

if a 25 amp fuse will pop not even half way through a song (im guessing cause of clipping) could that mean that my sub is fryed?

my amp has been scoped and im not even pushing the rms of the sub. i dont have a dvm to check the resistance in the curcuit so any input would be nice. im going to go to the shop next week and take the sub out. so i just want to know what i can expect.

if i missed anything just ask.

thanks

check all the wires, power, ground, speaker wires, make sure no speaker wires are touching, then if all that checks out, test the subs coils with a DMM...

if that checks out...

could just mean you are clipping the shit out of the amp and drawing to much current..

bass boost, and gain maxed = bad

You sure it's not the wiring?

No wires touching metal?

it popped once. then i re grounded it and it popped quicker. so im just a little stumped.

within the next couple of days ill be redoing my entire wiring set up in 1/0

well it just recently started doing this. my gain is scoped with the bass boost all the way up. ive played it at the same level for months now.

then i moved the box one day to clean my truck. so it could possibly be wiring issue.
