I've got a 1200.1 DB-Drive Platinum Series amplifier for my two subwoofers. Yesterday, while listening to some tunes, the subs go dead...I checked the amp and found that the two "40" fuses it has melted...why did that happen?? I've never seen such thing and it all freaked me out...checked the local auto parts stores and they only have fuses that go up to 30...anyone have any ideas why they melted and where i can get some new ones, or if i replace them will they melt again????
Thanks
Thanks

I've had things like this happen in my fuse box.. people never really look at a blown fuse.. sometimes they just "snap" other times they Kinda melt.
As long as the fuses are blowing you will be ok.. no its not a good thing they are blowing but it's stoping damage else where... I'd buy new ones and see if and when it happens... you might notice there is a cause/effect to why they are blowing..

I replace both fuses and so far so good. Haven't had any problems just yet, but i still check the fuses from time to time to see if they're ok...Might have been a freak thing or a sudden surge, i don't know..but hopefully it won't happen again...Thanks for the input guys
