blowing fuses Well i keep blowing my amp fuses...ive tried 2 amps and the same thing happends....i traced my power wire all the way thru and thers no way its grounding out any where...thers no cracks or anything on the wire..traced teh ground wire and its perfectly fine too.....what could i be missin?
Wait... you said you tried 2 different amps and the fuse still blows? Try the remote turn on wire? You might have a short somewhere in your radio circuit if the remote turn on wire is good and 2 different amps also got blown fuses
How many fuses do you have on the back of the amp. I was told that the inline fuse on the power wire should be the total of all the fuses on the back of the amp. The amp may not have enough power to pop the inline fuse first like it should therfore popping the ones on the amp. I have 4 (20) amp fuses on the amp and a 80-amp fuses on the power wire. You might also try putting a fuse on the remote wire to see if it is the remote wire over powering the amp.

well it had been working just fine with my old amp till it blew the inline fuse...i replaced the inline fuse but could never get the amp to power up again....the amp has no fuses on itslef....then i go with another amp with a 30amp fuse on it and instantly blew as soon as it power up...i doubt the speakers are to big....i checked my grounds and power and everything seems right.....i dont memeber what my inline fuse is rated at.....the power line is what ever size came in the Rockford install kit...both amps are rockfords aswell.
u come up with a solution? I am having the same problem. My inline is fine but the 2 fuses on my amp keep blowing out. I changed the fuses once and the amp and subs worked good for a while but after about an hour or 2 of use they blew out again, this time on startup.

Figured it out...aparantly both my rockford amps sucked donkey *****....I checked and rechecked and rechecked all the wiring and all was good and still blew fuses up.......Went to wally world and bought a cheapo 50 dollar amp and bingo i got bass again...and i think it hits harder now than it did with the rockfords.
