chrisj Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I have an amp from maybe four years ago, and when it went down on me I wasn't sure to why. Basically everytime I connect it the fuse blows in the amp. No wires are touching at all. All input is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
