John Gi Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Today is not a good day. i got my remote gain yesterday i installed it today.. also The plan was to finally have my subs back. i got my DC's back from rusty. and was happy to slap once again... i opened the box and one was broken:( i called rusty and he is so nice... but that's another story. i was hooking up one of the dcs to see if it works and i heard a hum it then everything turn off.. not the car but my amps and the music.... so i check the fuse in the front and its blown. i replace it and then my rf250.2 turns on. but not the merlin?? i took out the merlin and seen the fuses are blown.. so i replace them.... and then when i hooked it up again.. i heard the hum again and the fuses on the merlin blow!! so i replace the fuses and i disconnect the power from the rf 250.2 i connect the positive in the merlin and nothin. so then i put the negative. a few sparks..... then when i put the remote back on.. the amp starts to humm real loud.. but i just take the remote out before it blows the fuses... so yeah is it blown? i hooked up my rf 250.2 and it seems fine.. i check my ground and nothing.... i even but another cheap-o amp and that works??? any help would be appreciate btw my system is 2 12's level 4 powered by merlin md 3d hertz comps powered by the rf 250.2 and a stinger sp1500d in the front..

Sanitarium Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 sounds like something definatly shorted out in it. is it under warranty? if not, pop the bottom open and take a quick look, sometimes you get lucky and can see/fix the problem with relative ease.

kl0wn Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 This was happening to my buddies amp a while back (cannot remember what kind of amp) But we ended up taking off the top piece and looking at it on the inside where the fuses connect from the outside, and the terminal was lose on the inside, so we tightened it back up really quick, and it worked fine and didn't blow anymore fuses Quote 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl0wn Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 take a multimeter and check the fets Do that, and check the inside like I said to be safe, because it may be that, it may not be, worth a shot in checking.
