ma18 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 sorry im new and i guess i put this in the wrong place last time and it got deleted. i have a kenwood excelon kac-x301t and immdeatly after washing my car it blew both of the 30 amp fuses. i know its not the wiring because i now have 2 other amps hooked to it and they are working perfect and it still does the same thing. it instantly blows the fuses as soon as the ignition is turned on i need an opinion ... is there something i can try to fix it or is it basically a paper weight now ??

E-Train Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Did you get water in it whilst washing the car?

E-Train Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 That probably needs to be asked in a different topic Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

Boon Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah sounds like something in your power supply section has blown right up... probably a FET has burnt and gone short, or a transformer winding has burnt and shorted... could also be the driver board has gone faulty and is holding the FETs fully open... one way or another, it's not something you can fix yourself, but for an amp repair place it might be less than half an hours work...
