[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 7438966, member: 584130"] Here is a real quick test you can do if you have a multimeter or continuity tester of some sort......... Unhook the power and ground to the amp. Now that the power and ground are unhooked put in a new fuse. Now that the new fuse is in there try taking your continuity tester/multimeter and touching one probe on the positive power terminal of the amp and one probe on the negative terminal of the amp. What measurement does that give you? Most meters have a beep for continuity or if you are just on the ohm's range are you getting a very low reading like 0,1,2,3,4,etc? If you get the continuity beep or a very low ohm reading then you definitely have a bad reverse polarity protection diode or more likely blown power supply fets if you didn't hook up the power wires backwards [/QUOTE]
