alpine V12 amp pops the power fuse when i try to turn on

well earlier today my alpine v12 mono amp started acting up... it was cutting in and out at higher volumes

then i turned the car off for a few hours

came back and when i turned on the car nothing........ fuse was popped.

replaced fuse, popped again.

All the wiring is OK. (hooked up another amp and it worked fine)

Trash the amp? Or is it worth opening up and taking a look? Or maybe is it worth any money even broken?

sounds like the amp is messed up. I'm sure you can find someone knowledgeable about amps and will buy that amp for cheap and fix it. Or you can try to find someone to fix it for you

if its a small amp then its probably not worth fixing, throw it up on ebay as broken. get what ya can get for it. sounds like a short internally.

it is in fact a small MRP-350

i was using it to (under)power 2 10's - could this have caused the failure?
