Fuses blown on amp

*alphabets13* · 09-15-2006, 08:12 PM

i have 2 20a fuses on my mtx amp running my sub, and i noticed that the sub was not on, and netiher was the light on my amp. i checked the fuses on the amp, and both were blown. i picked up some fuses, replaced both of them, turned on the system, and the light on the amp went on for about 2 seconds, then shut off. i checked the fuses again, and they are fine. but still no amp light or obviously sub either. what can be wrong with the amp?

disconnect the sub and then switch on. Does it stay powered on then ?

just tried it, no go. i disconnected the sub, hoping to see the amp light turn on, but nothing.

Good luck

Make sure to check the resistance of the sub before you connect it to a new amp
