#2673, "Amp Keeps Blowing Fuses"


          

The amp was fine when I was driving around. Turned off car, turned it back on and the subwoofer doesnt work. Turns out the two 20A inline fuses on the amp are blown. The I believe 40A fuse on the main line isnt blown. I replace the two fuses, turn the radio on and boom they blow again. I checked all the wiring, ground, power, signal, rca, everything is exactly as it was before. No shorts anywhere along the line. No matter what you do, the thing just keeps blowing the fuses as soon as you turn it on. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks!

BTW- its a Kenwood 600W amp w/ a Rockford Fosgate 10"

you have a direct short somewhere down the line. Check all connections again and trace the lines back out.........

You say that you replaced the fuses then turned on your amp then the fuses blew? Or did the fuses blow right when you replaced them. If they don't blow until you turn on the Head unit, then i would say double check you sub wiring, and if thats ok, then its an internal amp problem. If the fuses blow right when you put them in, then check the power wire and its path.
