[QUOTE="bmbrown911, post: 3673052, member: 583885"] The other day when I was driving home I was listening to my radio and all of a sudden the sound went completely quiet. I didn't think much of it, thought maybe I had just lost the signal. So I just turned off the stereo completely. The next day as I was leaving my house I went to turn on the stereo and I wasn't getting any sound on anything, auxillary, CD player and tuner were all a no go for sound. So after checking some things I noticed the fuse on my power cable near the battery was fried. So I replaced it and it popped again within 5 seconds. Put another one in and the same thing. By now I knew something was wrong just not sure what. I got to tinkering with the amps. I unplugged the remote wire from the sub amp and the 4 channel and used a jumper wire from the amps power to remote to see what was going on and noticed that it was my sub amp that was the culprit. Every time it was powering on it went into protection mode. The 4 channel amp is working just fine by itself. This is what I don't understand though. The night I was driving home when the stereo quit working first was the day I had unhooked my subwoofers and moved them out of my car for some more space. So there were no subwoofers at all that the amp was pushing. So my question is what could be going on? Is my amp fried and if it is how can that be without subwoofers hooked to it even?
