If you have 6 gauge wiring what size of fuse are you using? This amp needs a 140 amp fuse. I'm thinking a 6 gauge wiring kit has just an inline 60 amp fuse?

do not tell him this please. chances are he will put a bigger fuse and burn his car down.. thats why i suggested the wire to be 4 gauge and not the rating on the fuse. putting a bigger fuse will not solve his issue. it will make it worse

What makes it "need" a 140 amp fuse?

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.

exactly. and the fact that it does it without a load on the amp proofs the fuse is not the issue.. he probably burnt the amp for insufficient voltage and wiring it lower than rated

i was at work late. sorry. and I know a little more than it may seem im just don't know a shit load about amps, excuse me for my ignorance.. smh.. and please tell me where it specifies a 140 fuse? as stated above if its popping the with NO load putting a larger fuse in it will not do anything.. I used the wire I had on hand and I haven't had time to get more and re wire I work full time and im a full time college student and time is scarce, but it will be done before I get new amps in there or this one repaired and put in. a guy I was recommended to thinks its a 6amp diode and he is going to test it today.
