SoCaLBaMF Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 So just today I put in a new fuse holder with a digital volt meter on it, and a 250 amp fuse. My amp had been acting funny lately just before I put those new fuses and fuse holder in, it blew a few more fuses which were 150 amp but one fuse lasted me for about 10 months (I know they recomment 250 but thats all I had at the time) The amp worked great for a year and after today I think it finally gave up and smoke was rolling out of it as soon as I put on the accesories, but it didnt blow the 250 amp fuse? or even discolor it... but as soon as I unscrewed my amp from my box, I heard something rolling around on the inside and I dont know if that was from it blowing? or that WAS the reason it blew... Let me know what you guys think!

skittlesRgood Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 either a piece came loose and shorted out something or something burned and melted off. ill take the amp off you if you dont want to pay a bunch of money to fix it. im trying to learn how to fix amps.

Jared420 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 happened to me a couple months ago Never really found out exactly what it was but I sent it out for repair and we "think" it was a speaker short from a loose connection due to stripped out terminals. your amp probably shorted out which caused a component inside the amp to break off due to heat in the short circuit.

SoCaLBaMF Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Open it up and post pics. Its hard to say. Heat, voltage drop...could be alotta things. Did you have it mounted to the box? Well I dont really want to take the cover off because it says the warranty will be void if I do. Or is there another way to do that? And yes it was mounted on the box, which Im probably sure it rattled something loose because of that... either a piece came loose and shorted out something or something burned and melted off. ill take the amp off you if you dont want to pay a bunch of money to fix it. im trying to learn how to fix amps. I just emailed Hifonics warranty support team and Ill see what they say happened to me a couple months ago Never really found out exactly what it was but I sent it out for repair and we "think" it was a speaker short from a loose connection due to stripped out terminals. your amp probably shorted out which caused a component inside the amp to break off due to heat in the short circuit. Yeah I had it hooked up the same way I have had for the past year, and I think it probably had enough or something got shaken loose inside.
