Amp is keep blowing my fuzes.

it stays around 15 then starts heading down to like 14, 13, & 12.

even 15 ohms is way too low. If thats the highest it gets you probably have some shorted fets. The readings are probably jumping around because of the leads on the meter not being perfectly still. How much did you pay for the amp? Depending on how bad it is it may not even really be worth fixing unless you can do it yourself

if you like you can PM me

I traded two 6.75 inch headrest tv screens for that amp, a kenwood eq, a clarion 3 way crossover, & a 4 gauge wiring kit.

So it might be worth fixing, I'm assuming you fix amps yourself? Is there any way you can give me an estimate on how much it would cost to repair? Or even if you could guide me on how to fix one myself i've been looking to give it a shot..

I just really want to have an amp to my door speakers and i'm wondering if fixing this one would be worth it :l

By the way thank you for all the help, You have probably been one of the most helpful people i've ever met on these fourms.

Get me some pics and/or model number of the amp. It's hard to estimate a cost without having it in hand or knowing what type and number of parts it needs. I do repairs for myself for the most part but I will occasionally take on other repairs. I could try to walk ya through it but it all depends on your own knowledge whether you would have any success. If you don't already know a bit about electronics then it could be pretty tough to walk ya through.

imho, it doesn't sound like a protection diode at all. caps are trying to charge up, and finding a short at the same time

At this point I don't think the protection diode is bad either. Just kinda threw that out there as a possibility. Fets are almost certainly done for.
