AudioKraze Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well like the title says, my cousin has an amp. Its a Kenwood KAC-9103D and it just recently started blowing fuses. Has been fine for about a year. I checked all the wires and connections but everything is fine. What could be the problem?

Boon Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Subs dieing making the impedance go down. Or the power supply is on the way out. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Very nice advice. Exactly what I would have said. Also make sure the ground is still tight Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Nave Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Short in your connections, or a sub might be blown.

Sable Nave Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Also, check to see if your impedance is something the amp can tolerate, too low, fuse will definitely blow Quote Car 1996 Sable LS 8,000K Bi-Xenon HID's Pioneer Premier DEX-P1R Diamond Audio D351, Diamond Audio D362i, Diamond D3TAK off Kicker ZX200.4 Custom 15" 13w7 motor, 3.5" aluminum coils dual 1 ohm off NV-AM25001 Dynamat Dynaliner Second Skin Damplifier Pro Stock 130A Alternator My Build Truck 1995 Ford F-150 Flareside XLT 10,000K Bi-Xenon HID's, 15,000K Bi-Xenon HID's Kicker KS6502, KS400 off Pioneer Premier PRS-D4100F Truck Build Ref(s) Rogers, Jared, Mikesmith0890, Twigz, DHFHades, BASS14, Solo_X18, mrafrica, camino_1to3, kickerassman [speakerman9000] 5:43 pm: if sony sucks so bad how come my amps still work when i had 3 12s on it [capalass23] 11:27 pm: wow u grand man poopin out babys like hto cakes [KevinniveK] can u have sex later please hes helping me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
