Beanz Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 what kind of fuse do you have upfront? Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

Is your cap working properly? If it's not, it won't be giving your amp enough power so by underpowering your amp, it can blow fuses... Aslo, check your capacitors on the amp itself. If one of the capacitors is bleeding or blown, it could be causing it. If all else fails, try hooking up your amp without the cap... If it works fine, then your cap has gone bad.

Beanz Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 That or you have a really small fuse upfront on your battery and your amp is drawing more current so in turn your fuse pops Quote That's why they don't deliver.

DylanH Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 im with this guy.do the math though. dont just throw a bigger fuse in there. What is your gain set at..I had the same situation..and What size fuse are you using..I had a 30 amp on my 600 watt pioneer amp and I was blowing fuses left and right then I turned the gain down lol..it helped but I still blew fuses otherwise you could have a short in your wire or something like that Quote http://www.youtube.c...er/SmallTownSPL 2002 Chevy Blazer Substage: Shhh, its a secret Mids and Highs: Stock-Going to change soon Amp:MTX 92001 Wire:1/0 Welding cable Electrical:Stock http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 I hope she was meaning that to you.
