zsmizzy Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 ive been blowing fuses repeatedly everytime i try to hook up my amp. i know the amp works cause ive had it in before with the exact same setup. i had the neg on the batt unhooked during entire install and no fuse in the power wire until the end. i have everything hooked up correctly but everytime i hook the neg on the battery up the two 10 amp fuses on my amp blow right away. i tried raises the fuses. went to 15, 20 all the way to 30 but same thing everytime. does that mean that my amp has a short? or is something else wrong. thanks for any help. 2 RF 15'' P1's Hifonics TXi6008 Kenwood KDC H.U.

kl0wn Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Was happening to my friends amp a while back. We ended up taking the bottom off of the amp and looking at the guts, and noticed that one of the clips the fuse connects to on the inside of the amp was loose. We tightened it and it worked perfectly fine and didn't blow anymore fuses. You can try that, can't promise it'll fix it though. 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...

Sounds like a short somewhere. I would check the wiring at the amp to make sure your + and - aren't touching. If that isn't it, I would check your + wire to make sure the wire insulation isn't broken anywhere that is allowing the wires to touch metal.

Boon Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Are you absolutely certain you don't have the + and - wires backwards? Because that will blow your amp fuses every single time. p.s. Increasing the fuse rating is a really, really dumb idea, eventually something other than the fuse will fail instead... 10.x volts fo' life!

E a r t h Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 care to share the specifics of what you found to be the problem other then just stating ''wiring''? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 You should try out a circuit breaker fuse. They are awesome! You never have to replace fuses! They cost like 10 bucks for 150amp or if your lucky 200amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
