jarrius Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 I have a RF prime 1200. it has been working perfectly for over a year. Well last weekend i decided to install my SHCA 1/0 and a extra XS Power D5100 in the trunk. I fused by both batterys with 200amp ANL fuses, My ground is nice clean metal on all sides. I put a 100amp relay fuse between the amp and the battery so i can still protect my stuff. Well after i had everything wired up and go to test the amp and make sure it turns on the relay fuse popped. I reset it and happened again. I removed the fuse to the back battery so the 2 will not be connected and same thing. I removed the rear battery from the loop the next time and same issue...think i have a short in my amp.!! 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 Make sure you don't have any stray wires hanging out of the amp terminals. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
jarrius Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 i will double check that tomorrow 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
mothra Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 check to make sure your relay is wired correctly too. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
jk13 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 By "relay fuse" and "reset" I can only assume you mean a circuit breaker? Because once those are tripped they can fail too. I'd rather only use actual fuses. But good on you for not eliminating it without putting something in it's place first. Static drops are my bag.
rockFord_Expedition Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 By relay fuse, do you mean circuit breaker? What are we talking about here? When you start blowing fuses, the last thing I would recommend that you do is take them out of the equation. They're trying to tell you something is wrong.

SIDE SHOW Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 does the prime 1200 recommend a 100amp fuse/breaker?
Bumpindemlowzz Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 the 100 amp relay may be too small just put a relay in that does not exceed amps pulled by amplifier. not looking it up but like 150amp or 200amp. 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts
