BassMunky Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 So today 2 of the 3 fuses blew on my sundown 100.4 sax amp. What could have caused it? Everything is set properly and only running a set of mid and high.. I have been running it for 6 yrs no problems Quote Shakin not Stirred....my buildhttp://www.stevemead...ngle-cab-build/412 CVX And put a sealed enclosure in your trunk cut a hole in your deck and call it ported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdc Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Double check your ground. If it is loose or wobbling it can cause random spikes and feedback to the amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Speaker wire shorting out anywhere? What about power wire?

Could the engine noise be caused from only 1 fuse? Also my speaker wires cross the power is it ok? Not touching maybe 3 in away Quote Shakin not Stirred....my buildhttp://www.stevemead...ngle-cab-build/412 CVX And put a sealed enclosure in your trunk cut a hole in your deck and call it ported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it will help is dependent on if that's the problem. Give the drivers it's powering an inspection too. Make sure a tinsel didn't pop off or cross somewhere 1 Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
