Amp Fuses Keep Blowing

[Mark Capo]

Alright guys, i just got my system hooked up yesterday...

Everytime I turn up my radio to around 15 it blows my 2 fuses in my kicker amp.

This is what I have:

For the amp I have a Kicker IX1302

For my subwoofer I have a 12" Power Acoustik FUBR-12

I have no capacitor... could this be the problem?

double check your wires, the fuses on the amp keep blowing? strange, i have never blown a fuse of the amp, but i blown a few on the fuse holder.

a common way self-installed systems blow amp fuses is when you wire your amp to the batter the positve and the may be touching in some way.....

What ohms are you wiring it at? If your at 2ohms, change it up to 4 ohms, your amp might not be capable of pushing what your wired at.
